I've never grown these before and I just bunged them in and let them go
rampant.
So I was pleasantly surprised today when parting the undergrowth that I have
seven (at least) quite big fruits....a couple are very big....when compared
with the average supermarket types.
Now I hadn't thought of it before, but how do I tell when they are ripe for
picking? They are all very very pale greeny-yellow.......not the
creamy/buff shade of shop specimens. So what's the test of ripe-ready ?

Thank You.....PP
