I have a patch of figs but I am never able to harvest more than a few before the first frost hits. I am wondering what I could do that would extend the growing season by about a month or two. I have heard of fig trees but I have what looks like bushes. Every Spring it starts over. I have heard stories from old-timers who claim their fathers would slowly bend their fig tree over in the Fall and bury it with excellent results. I am considering building a cold frame to get the roots warmed up sooner this Spring. Any experts out there? Thanks.
