Any Fig Fanatics?

Checked on my one fig "bush" ... It had 3 that looked ripe and felt soft, I picked another one that is still firm ... I'm not sure if it will ripen once picked ... I left the other few that were still very green ...

My first figs!

Yay! Congrats! I have heard they do not ripen off the bush but I feel like they do get softer if left in the fridge for a couple of days.

This was a great year for figs, but the crop ran almost a month later than last year.
The birds that help clean off the last of the figs were gone for weeks before the last of the figs came in.
I dried quite a few pounds, froze some, we will see how the freezing works.
Still have some ripening.

If I pick them right when they start turning a light brown they seem to finish ripening. Too green and they just stay that way.

I ate the three soft ones, they were sweet and tasty, will take the other one with me when I go back on the road, at least the rotten raccoons didn't get any!
