I am growing these this year in mid Wales for the first time. i have two
different varieties, with a good crop on each, but......

How do I know when they are ripe and ready to pick?

At the moment I have them varying from a pinkish green thought to slate
blue.

Thanks

Try tasting the darker ones.
When the blackbirds have eaten them! ;-)
