    What's the question?  Your figs are looking just great ... well ahead of ours ... just don't let the tree dry out.  It needs free-draining soil but that doesn't mean that it isn't a thirsty plant.  A fortnightly dose of tomato feed is good too. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Thanks Dovefromabove
    It's probably difficult to tell at the size they are , but I was wondering what type of fig they could be ?

    Some of the figs seem to be going soft and becoming lighter in colour, whereas other figs seem to be ok, any ideas what could be wrong.  I have been giving it a weekly dose of seaweed .
