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.
