When do you pick yours? I ask as I notice one of our allotment holders
has picked most of theirs already before they are even fully grown let
alone ripe and sweet. Why would they do that?

1) to make jam
2) to preserve them for making pies, tarts etc.
3) to prevent the blackbirds scoffing them


But you can do all that when they are ripe with even more flavour and you
need less sugar.
