My figs start out as hard little bumps, then get bigger and bigger.  When
they're starting to get ripe, they flip over, usually, so they hang down
instead of pointing up.  When they're soft, they're ready to eat.  It's a
little tricky, though, because if you wait too long they fall off, or some
critter snarfs them.

due to the excessive heat we have been having over the last few days;
however, not the 5 that are 
necessary before it can be, officially,  recorded as being a heatwave, I
have not been able to 
summon up the necessary energy to walk the 5/6  metres from the shade cast
by  the house to check my 
trees, but today, being, noticeably, cooler,  I collected a donation that
one of my sheep had made , 
that was to go towards their welfare:  their's being the trees, not the
sheep:   and dropped it 
beside the fig, and found, joy of joys, perched right on the tippy tippy
top, NO!  not the Christmas 
fairy/angel, or a wooly caterpillar, but something much  better, or that is
what I  hope, a round: 
about an inch in diameter:  furry things!
Petrus or anyone else  who has knowledge of figs, while still on the bush,
not in a packet from the 
supermarket:  is this dear little object perched on top of my dear little
fig bush, a FIG, and if 
so, how does a blind fig picker know when it is ready for the plucking?
