Every year that we have lived here in the Brenham countryside, the fig tree on our property has shown the promise of abundance. And every year the hungry deer have beaten us to them!
Earlier this year the deer ate all my antique roses (and most of the leaves) — they are just coming back with 2 tiny roses blooming today. Yet this year, they have left the figs alone. In the past 5 years the fig tree has doubled in size and it is absolutely filled with ripening fruit!
