That’s awesome!
@Leafhead I may have to use that trick. The birds have gotten ripe all my blueberries. I really don’t care this year my plants are still small so there isn’t that many. I went ahead today and picked the rest of the green ones so the plant could put all it’s energy into growing bigger than into fruiting. Will have to look for a plush monkey for my grapes though lol.
Didn't know Chicago had it's own fig. 
However, I see you have a "mosquito plant" (citronella geranium) in the background. I have one of those, although mine is a lot stringier than yours. It needs some careful pruning but not sure about doing it. So, it just wanders in random directions.

Rented a place a few years ago that had a 70foot tall fig tree. First time that I had had fresh figs in abundance. Beautiful.
