I took this picture at a market in Catania. A nice good memory of this past summer…
The temperate climate of Sicily has contributed to the development of typically Mediterranean vegetation. Vineyards, olive and citrus (lemons, mandarins, ciders, oranges) trees are throughout the island. Various species of plants grow naturally, such as: dwarf palm, mirto, corbezzolo, lentisco, oleanders, eucalyptus, pine trees and euphorbia.

Buonossimi! Dolcissimi!!
Beautiful photo. You right – the climate wonderful. Everything grows here and grows well. Wonderful climate, soil and mostly organic. What’s best is even if it’s organic there is no extra cost like in some other countries. I was surprised Italy has more organic farms than the entire U.S.
Hmmm… Juicy!
We have a fig-tree…
What a good taste! Imagine… when I was a little kid I didn’t like them!
God knows why!!
ciao
I have never tried figs.
hrrmmm…
@Marlo
One more reason to visit Sicily then!
@Marlo, I agree with SicilyGuide: come and visit Sicily during summer and you’ll probably enjoy the taste of figs!
