Hi, folks-

Well, I just got in big trouble for picking our first-ever watermelon before
it was really ripe.  To see my family's reaction, yoiu'd have thought it was
the family dog I cut in half.

I thought I could tell when a watermelon was ripe.  Apparently not.

As I carried the carcass out to the compost heap, I realized that I also
have no idea when to pick our first-ever eggplants.  We have several fruits
set on our Black Beauties.  They have been eggplant purple all along, and
are now baseball-sized to softball-sized.  How will I know when to pick
them?

-BT
