Our fig tree is covered in immature figs, but I fear that unless we have a long, hot autumn, they will not ripen this year. The earliest figs ripen about now, and we've had a few each, but I've read that those which don't ripen this year, will ripen earlier next year: however, they don't seem to over-winter terribly well.

DH found this scripture in his reading today:

Seems like we aren't the only people to have this problem!
