================================================== ====

I had said in a previous post that the fruits harvested from the plants I had in the main garden had a touch of sweetness.

Marsha and Karen had commented that they had not noticed any sweetness.

This difference could be attributed to time on the vine as Sharon eludes to. All of the fruits I consumed were ripened on the vine. Even on the same truss, one fruit could be tart and pleasant, and the next one would be complex and sweet. I concluded that the most probable reason was that most of the sugars were developing late. After that, all my tastings were all complex and sweet. I did not notice any significant difference between vine ripened and those that finished ripening on the counter.

And, I'll echo Sharon's words above. "Looking forward to growing out some of your other creations!".

Keep 'em coming !!!!
