Well...I figure that it's going to be a pretty prolific little tree, since you're the one who tends it. 7 is my lucky number & since 7 is way too few, 25 is too close to other guesses but 52 seems a good "in between". I'd very much enjoy winning this book since I've picked it up & put it back down several times. I'll keep my fingers crossed!!Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073771673697355183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-45859361083667546542010-06-15T22:58:41.466-04:002010-06-15T22:58:41.466-04:00Happy belated anniversary!

I'm more of a cat person than a gardener, but with terrace photos this beautiful, it's impossible to resist! : )<br /><br />I'm guessing there are 81 figs.
