She's hard to convince the figs need a few more days. My inground Sal's GS seems unfazed by the cooler weather and is getting ready to pump them out. Definately an in-ground winner in Zone 6.

Ah, the little ones...once they've acquired a taste for figs, with those tantalizing morsels hanging from the tree.
Squeezing, inspecting, looking under leaves, hoping to hear those precious words from Daddy - "That one's ready to pick."
It's what it's all about. -
My 4yr old son surprised me this year. We would look at the trees every day and I would explain to him how to know when a fig is ready to pick. I would have him gently squeeze a ripe fig vs a non-ripe fig. Throughout the summer he would tell ME when the fig was ready to pick. And his judgement was right! Talk about a proud Dad.

Excellent!
My daughter loves to go out and pick figs, she's a little older though (8). Similar story to Frank about telling me what's ready to pick.
Calvin, Wish list is to finish working on the new house, someday.
