My Fig Tree

So as I patiently wait for the snow to go away I have a fig tree inside my house that I need to care for as my inside garden.  It has 4 tiny figs coming on it and I haven't even had this tree 1 year yet.  I had had 1 fig on it previous, when I first brought it into the house for the winter.  My good friend mentioned I shouldn't touch it, so for weeks, I didn't.  The fig didn't do much.  I don't even know if it's supposed to turn purple.  Well I caved and touched it a couple weeks ago to see if it was soft.  A few days later the fig dropped.  I cut it open to taste it and it definately wasn't ready to eat.  Maybe it was a tester fig my tree was trying out because now a few weeks later I have 4 figs growing.  Hopefully this time they will grow to be delicious morsels...mmmm figs.
