		<title>Email Question: keeping ants away from figs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since it&#8217;s fruiting season, this email from our files is especially relevant. Anyone who&#8217;s ever seen ants happily crawling in and out of their ripening fruit knows how irritating this is.

		<title>Farmer&#8217;s Market</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dad asked me to post that he&#8217;s out of transportable stock for the Farmers&#8217; Market, so he&#8217;s not going to be going there for the remainder of the season. This also means he&#8217;ll be here on Saturday mornings, if you need to ask him questions or get a tree.

		<title>Recommended recipes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because fig recipes are still pretty hard to find, I added some Amazon links to cookbooks to the site&#8217;s menu (waaay down on the right side), and I&#8217;d like to recommend a couple of recipes from each book.

		<title>Interesting article on NPR website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our daughter heard an NPR story about the possible earliest known cultivated crops: figs! They were found in the ruins of an 11,400-year-old house, if you can imagine that. So, all you fig growers out there: we&#8217;re in good company.
