SC - selecting fruits and vegetables

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

    In addition to all the good suggestions made so far, I seem to recall 
reading occasional articles in gardening magazines on how to tell if various 
veggies are ready to pick. You might, opportunity and time allowing, look in 
back issues of Organic Gardening, and perhaps Kitchen Garden, since those are 
the main ones I read. The information, best I remember, was both in separated 
articles on what's ripe when, and mixed in with articles highlighting 
individual fruits and veggies..............
