Harvest fun - Page 2

Nice! Getting towards the end of harvest here with very hot temps daily and high humidity. If you have the luxury of doing this, I would let those Sungolds ripen much longer on the vine. I am one who believes that picking at blush and ripening inside on the counter works just as well as ripening on the vine. My one exception to that rule is Sungold. If you allow them to get a deep orange color on the vine, they have maximum sweetness, imo.

I find the same holds true for Super Sweet 100's.
