I found that this year they ripened weeks later than in previous years, even last year which was a cooler wetter summer. Some of mine are going to finish early due to powdery mildew.
The figs were a full month later than in the last few years, too. Apples are dropping early due to the dryness. Every year is different.

.......I am welcoming the cooler weather now .
The Hot middle summer ...was to much for the tomatoes and for me...
