Had a few figs on the tree this year, not many and the birds had a couple. It has got loads of small figs on it, do I take them off as think it is too late for them to ripen. I have had different advice on this.
Also I know this may send silly but my raspberry canes have spread everywhere and they weren't that good this year. I have cut them back but loads of grass and weeds between the canes, can I use weed killer, don't mind if I lose a few of the canes but if they survive dont want to poison myself, but also dont fancy all that weeding. I have only used weed killer on the paths, but nothing seems to have grown very well this year as I haven't done enough weeding, or maybe it was lack of rain.
My conference pears are still hard, when do I know when to pick them, or do I wait for the birds to have a few pecks.
Thanks in advance.
