This is *probably * midnight snack, right? I lost the label when i planted it. How does one tell when these are ripe?? By feel?

If there’s any green left it will turn red. Otherwise, yeah, go by feel.

Yep, looks like it to me! I plucked once they had a little yellow or started to orange at the bottom.

Oh my goodness I thought that was straight up toxic nightshade.
I guess it *is* the same family!

Those look a lot like Helsing Junction Blue.
Just close your eyes and squeeze them.

I’ve never seen midnight snack so entirely black, ever! They’re always half black-ish and half red-ish, in my observations. Therefore, I have a hard time accepting that it’s what you think, but I also have no clue of what else it could be because I never grew or saw cherries that are totally black.

If they’re super firm or still greenish underneath, give them a bit more time. They should also feel slightly soft to the touch, like a typical cherry tomato.
