Danno, we've had a bit of discussion on this...at least wait until you get some "blush" before picking...ripening on the vine would be great, but pests and critters could get 'em before you do. I've noticed that larger fruit take forever to ripen, and this year in particular I've already lost a few to pests...I'm keeping a close eye on things, and picking some early to ripen inside. The fruit seems to get better, ripened inside, as the season goes by.
