figs
 

gobsmacked to find a glut of figs for the first time ever, in the
greenhouse!! Most of them are dark green and tight skinned, a few are light
green and look a bit weak, more wrinkley. Are they failed figs? Should they
be removed? Or will they catch up?

thanks

Probably last season's '2nd' crop, which in this country doesn't ripen.
If so, they will fall off.

If they're this year's crop, they will continue to grow, then ripen to
become soft, and at that stage they will change colour (depending on
variety) and will start to droop as the neck becomes soft - they are
then ready for harvest.

Mine, on a sunny S facing terrace in Yorkshire, ripen late Aug to Sept -
you'd be earlier in a greenhouse, but this still sounds a bit too early.

IME the non-ripening second crop always seems larger that the ripening
first crop.
