Marilyn, I'm sure you are right about the net over the figs. I had to put a net over my strawberries - THEN I had to fight the roly polies for them. I used diatamaceous earth to keep the RP's away and it works well.

I bought bird nets at the nursery. I think they were 12' by 12' maybe even 14'. They were very light weight. I'm sure they would work well over the figs.

Janet, I water and pick every morning between 6-7 when I get up to let the dogs out and feed them. I'm a morning person and so I love being outside at that time! It's not too bad. I do go out and check everything when I get home in the evening, but don't stay too long as it is HOT!
