Wild figs are everywhere. Look along the American River if you are around Sacramento. Never seen them in markets, but nor have I ever looked for them. Steven: Go to any river and look around.

Sorry. Barbara: So far as I know you don’t actually eat the fig leaf, you just use it as a wrapper. Sorry.

My advice would be to substitute brined grape leaves in a jar. You can buy them in good supermarkets with the jarred roasted red peppers, olives and antipasto. I think the company is Athenos.

I wanted to know where you found fresh fig leaves. Are you lucky enough to have fig trees growing in your backyard? And if so, can I buy some from you? I'm having the worst time trying to find them in Colorado. Hank, I love your website! I wanted to know where you found fresh fig leaves.

You use the tender part of the stalks exactly the way you use lemon grass. And you of course can use the frondy tops. Around here, there is really no reason to grow your own fennel -- unless it's Florence fennel for the bulbs, as I do. Lots of people in other places grow the non-bulbing type, which is globally more common. No bulbs in wild fennel, or rather very skinny tough ones.
