I just couldn't resist. My last run in Cortona took me past Frances Mayes' house, the infamous villa from Under the Tuscan Sun. On the road right near her house was a wild giant fig tree and since I have been wanting a cutting from Cortona to add to my collection, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get one. A quick snap of a tiny branch and I was on my way down the hill with a little piece of Tuscany in my pocket. I hope I am as successful with this as I have been with the Sicilian cutting, that as you can see by my photo below, has started to produce some deliciously sweet figs. I'll keep you posted!
