    Beautiful! (And delicious, I’m sure)

    What are your purple and green cherry types? And how do you know when the greens are ready to pick?

    I have green docs growing this year, too, but other than one obnoxiously obviously overripe one, I can’t tell when they’re ready just by looking at them.

    I was hoping you or someone else on here might have a few tips for identifying when they’re ready to pick. The ripe ones are fantastic. The premies? Not so much.

    With other green tomatoes, such as the larger green zebra, the good fruit almost appears illuminated. Is there a similar visual trick with these?
