Oiling the bottom of the figs seems only to be working on the figs that 
had already started to turn.  The rest that were oiled while green are 
shrivelling & don't appear to be ripening.

Hardy Chicago are the only one's ripening with this year's much 
shortened season.  Conadria get the award for being the largest by a 
significant amount.  Now if only I could figure out a way to ripen them 
up here in the cold cold north.
