Layers of savoury mince and cheese sauce with aubergine!
Afternoon, Bea.OMG!!! I LOOOOOVE fresh figs!!!
I've got 2 fig trees that aren't very big, but they make very nice figs. The variety, "Celeste" is an old variety that does well in our hot, humid climate. These types of figs have been grown down here since the 1800s.
Unfortunately, the BIRDS love our figs too! The first year ours were bearing, I covered them with netting to keep the birds out. But some poor mockingbird got caught up in the net. I felt terribly badly for it, released it an removed the netting.
So now July brings the "Fig Contest" between me and the birds! I check the figs 2-3 times daily: both inspecting for color and splitting; but the FEEL of them tells you they're ripe. Unfortunately, the birds are willing to eat them before they're exactly ripe, but I like mine PERFECTLY rip and sweet! This year I got 2 figs!
But it's all good: I enjoy watching the birds in the tree. I even saw a fledgling mockingbird follow its parent to the tree, so the ongoing generations will be against me as well.
We had the same with our plum tree in the UK.
Lots of birds and about two plums a year for us.
We didn't mind either.

Something like this is roughly how it goes.
Don't mature too much, my friend!
No point being an adult if you can't be childish sometimes.
Right, I have a lesson now.
See you all in a couple of hours.

When the kids did sex ed in my last school the PSHE staff used to use courgettes to teach them how to put on condoms.Hmmmmmmm.
Not sure it will catch on
For a start they're called aubergines in the UK and here in Morocco.
And secondly it looks a bit naughty.....
I used to hope the kids wouldn't think that as long as they had a courgette with them they'd be safe!!
One day after my class had a session the canteen were serving stuffed courgettes which was very unusual - I think the PSHE staff had ordered too many!
I wasn't tempted as I knew what they'd been stuffed in!

Wonder if the courgette supplier has a contract with the school and whether the banana retailers are trying to muscle in on the action.
