Well how do I tell? There are not many of some varieties, so I don't
want to pick and try if I can avoid it, as if it is not ripe that is a
waste.

Gently support and grip it in your cupped hand and give it a very gentle
twist. If it is ripe and ready, it will fall into your hand. If not, leave
it :-))
