My fig tree has doubled (or trippled) its size thanks to the ample rain (or drought?) The size of the figs also increased. And they are so juicy and sweet. (Used to be that if they were big because of the rain, they wouldn't be as sweet - I think the daily 'kichen waste water' feed helped.)

My deck is covered with 'wild' trees and vines which provide excellent shade to the south side of the house. Hubby has been mowing diligently this year - but I asked him to leave the stuff 'on' the deck alone. And I've been enjoying 'juicing' with the small purple grapes. They are so sour, I can see why ancient people figured out how to make wine with it. The juice made with Gatorade/apple juice tastes so much better than the fresh grapes which are too tangy to eat... [I planted it the same time my In-laws planted theirs many years ago. Have never seen any grapes on theirs. ?]
