I have no idea about figs. But I’d guess that dehydration or canning might be a great way to go. I’m not a big fan of freezing most things-I tend to forget about them when they are in the freezer-except for meat.

I sometime freeze stuff like tomatoes until winter. Then get them out and make sauce or salsa etc. when the extra heat is welcome.

Our Amish paste tomato vines continue to produce altho the sunlight has been reduced. Football shaped tomatoes are getting smaller, tho still good for sauce.

We’re in an east-west valley along the Lake of the Ozarks with lots and lots of oak trees above our house and gardens. Our sunlight has been reduced by 10 or 20 percent, reducing tomato production.

So...the end of the season is at hand. Some green bell peppers coming in our lower garden, some garlic planted for next year. A few last minute cucumbers...

Fire wood split and stacked. All is well in the Missouri Ozarks...
