You should remove any fruits that are bigger than your little finger nail as large than this they will not ripen.

Yes they do, but at smaller sizes than those being described by puffinstuff.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I take off any figs that are bigger than pea size. :)

Thats right Spana, the Fig tries to fruit twice a year but here we can only grow one crop so any larger fruits will not mature.
