Thanks Sal,
You asked "Did you do anything special to jump start?"
No, nothing other than the usual, Fert. about every other watering.
~James down near Houston told me in a private email that they would start growing again in Sept. as usual, he nailed it!
My VdB is coming on like gangbusters now, it too has figs on it, but has put them on later than the SC
I'll bet what James said would apply to your plants too.
