This is the first Italian Honey to (almost?) ripen.

I'm not sure what this should look like ripe.  Does it ooze honey at the end?

It is hanging limp, but hasn't in any way wrinkled.

This is the second of the Hardy Chicago figs - are they ripe yet?  They are hanging, but also aren't wrinkled.

Thanks all.

Sorry, here is the Hardy Chicago rotated - I know you guys don't like to view the screen with your heads on your desks <g>.



 

Andy, I like my HC when it looks like a hangmans noose, very soft and has cracks around the outside.

They should hang completely limp.  The green may wait more than a week, the HC may be ready within a week.

Keep a close eye on the HC. It may get there pretty quick and you need to
cover it with something or else the birds will disappoint you.
