I love figs, too, and fig preserves.  I had an old big fig tree, but every 
year the blasted birds would clean the figs from the tree before I could 
harvest.  I even used bird netting to no avail.  The birds would actually 
swarm.  I had to have the fig tree removed last year, for another reason; but 
I miss getting the few figs the birds would leave me..................

p.s. I'm still a little confused; without heat; how is the greenhouse much 
different than the outside?  Is it just the structure keeping off the 
different precipitation?

 I'm slowly filling the north side of the greenhouse with figs. I love figs, 
but they won't grow outside here. They love it in the greenhouse.
