Hi Nelson,
We are glad you got to go by and visit with
Adriano.
Did he say he liked the Hollier? I had one from JR but it died on me, I might try to get another one along with a Smith!(next year)

They look delicious--and so do the
green beans. The only canned figs I've ever eaten were commercially canned Kadotas, as a kid. I imagine home-grown figs, picked and canned at the peak of ripeness, ought to be a real treat!
