Figs

Why not try growing some fresh figs in your garden, picking them during August/ September is much better than packaged ones from the supermarket.
Grow in a  sunny spot best trained against a wall or fence and it is best to restrict the roots to encourage fruiting.

1 litre - £4.10  / 30-45cm
4 litre - £14.75 / 45-60cm
12 litre - £41.00 / 90-120cm
