Yummmmmm! Will you make fig preserves?
Cristina used to make it a lot but she now finds it all a bit of a faff.

Seemingly you have to use semi ripe ones for preserve and not soft ripened ones.

It seems they were introduced to Argentina in the late 19th century. No idea by whom but as my great great uncle Guy came here from Scotland to engineer the railways I'd like to think he brought some seeds. 
We do have thistles in the US, daniel . They rip your hands when you’re weeding the garden!
Palo borracho trees are another favorite of mine.
Forgot I'd taken these pics last week. A picture of one of the two mature Palo Borracho trees we have out in the countryside. Plus one of the young ones that grew on its own from seed.....the thorns show up well!!
Love those pictures!
