We have a fig tree growing near the house which we make fig jam from. There is also a walnut tree, apple trees and lots of grape vines. Harvesting of the grapes will start in Bordeaux in the next week or two. The vines around our house are all red wine grapes, they are very sweet and small and we have been eating them. The grape vine fields are surrounded by corn crops which protect the grapes, the corn will be harvested and used for animal feed and to make corn flour. we had a big storm 2 nights ago and were able to see the next day how the corn fields were badly damaged by the storm but generally the grapes were protected. I have photographed the class in the fig tree and the grape vines. The photo of the house is taken from the grape vines through the walnut tree and shows our outside eating area and coal barbecues, we eat outside a lot while the weather is warm.
