 So now I have to figure out how much waiting. When I read a lot of the posts on picked figs, most people seem to say I should have waited one more day. What's the best way to figure out that one more day? I know with my I. Honey I would wait until the color changed slightly, the figs would feel soft, and they would droop over and sometimes fall into my hand with a light touch. This is the first year I will have other figs that are ripe before October. My H Chicago has figs that are coloring up, one that is drooping, and even developing some tiny cracks, but it doesn't seem soft enough yet. My Macool is coloring up also, but not drooping yet. (buy the way, they are very similar in fruit and leaf to the H Chicago) Any thoughts? The Macool is the top photo.
