The rain has ruined every fig so far, I haven't had a good fig in over a month, I either pick them early due to rain forecast, or they turn to watered down sh!t show, from rain
So I brought a few in, my first smith will be ready in a day or 2 also first Gino's and corynth and of course we are supposed to get rain the next 2 days why wouldn't we!

I'm sorry to hear of your frustration and bad luck. Growing figs in rainy weather sucks. If they don't split or rot they are still a big balloon full of water. Even just clouds and high humidity lowers the quality of figs in my greenhouse where there's no rain. So even a greenhouse won't solve all your issues. It would help. You're on the wrong coast for growing great figs. Head west young man, about 3000 miles.

Rain has been brutal this year all around. All my plants are slow or forming more bad fruit than usual. Keep venting... I will be

I moved my yearling trees into the greenhouse, not just because of the rain, but also because of the birds.  When you only have a handful of figs on each tree, you don't really want to lose any.  I put a big fan in there and so far they're doing okay.

I'm not complaining about the unusually rainy weather because the alternative here in August is 100+ degree heat index.

I have pm'd you twice about a question regarding a trade. Thank you. Leon

Hi,
Sorry for you.
Since the trees are in pots and still smallish, I would try a sort of greenhouse over them to protect them.
After all, I'm doing that for tomatoes every year to give them a head-start. So if you have the space for it, I'd try at least a roof made of glass or a plastic sheet on a frame.

This year, I am wrapping the pots in a clear garbage bag and keep the rain out of the pots. I believe it prevented the scenario you describe. This way I am not forced to pick early and they aren't going to explode after an overnight rainfall. Then, when I need to water, I can untie the bag and give it a little drink.
