I'm curious when yours, (especially in the United States in the zone 6 and 7) figs begin to growth. 

My in-ground Hardy Chicago typically sprouts late May.  My potted plants in the garage start budding in April to early May.    I work hard to keep them asleep because I can't give them as much light as they need until Early May.  The logistics of shuffling stacked fig pots is too much.

Late February for zone 8. allreafy have figs growing on my in ground

My unheated attached garage stays around 50° all winter, so some break dormancy in Feb, while most break in March.  As for in ground, sometime in April.

I try to delay uncovering my in-ground figs until after the last frost date May 20. 
Usually at Easter the temptation to uncover them begins.  The bright sun and hot temperatures I know those poor figs are boiling under the covers but from past experience I know that if I uncover them in April they will start growing and then a sudden frost will come and set them back.
Last year was bit odd because of the severe winter and the in-ground figs didn't break dormancy until June.

I have mine in a south facing window right now and they are doing well. Today was 70 but not worth taking them out for 1 day. The next 10 days are back to the 50's and right around freezing at night.
