Speaking of figs. Am I going to get an edible crop off my tree this year? These are all about an inch and a half long. Anything I can do to swell them (as well as watering).

Those still look over firm.
Leave them to ripen a bit more.
Assuming they are the 'Brown Turkey' fig, they should get a purplish or (attractive) brown skin when fully ripened.
How far north are you?
This is outer north west London

I’m in Bedfordshire, so a little way out. The variety is Madeleine de Deux Saisons. Apparently it can produce two crops a year if it’s a good year but I’m very much a fig novice and that’s just what I read.
