Journal September 2, 2015 - Off on another tangent, figs.

Three small fig trees have arrived and are in the greenhouse: Brown Turkey, White Marseilles and Black Mission.

Also, I have a bearing sized Brown Turkey tree on order, however, at present the damn Post Office has misplaced my priority shipment.  What is frustrating is: that you pay for second day service,  when it shows up a week later they do not refund your money.

There is another variety, Violet De Bordeaux, on order.  When that tree is delivered, that will be the last fig tree I intend to buy.   I never knew, that like olives, there any number of varieties of figs.
