Figs
A summer to autumn fruit best suited to hot dry summers and cool wet winters. A sub-tropical species. Some varieties will produce two crops - including the breba crop, which grows on old wood and produces a larger sized fruit than the later or second crop. Varieties included Black Genoa – the classic purple-skinned, deep red-fleshed fig, Brown Turkey - brown outside with pretty pink aromatic flesh and the very sweet White Adriatics, with white-green-pink flesh.

How to tell your steak is cooked
