when do you know if cabbage is ready to pick?
Comments (7)Hi michelelc, Farmerdill has it dialed in, but for us newbies, that thing could start bolting at any minute (because of the heat/lateness etc etc) , If you want to eat some of your cabbage, I would pick NOW, just to be on the safe side, this year sucked for me with my cabbage harvest , I lost 1500 pounds (though it made awesome compost materials), due to bolting/not completely heading up. Here are a couple of pics to show what I mean, at first it looked like it was going to head up, but alas, it bolted ;-( Every bed in the background is about to be tossed onto the compost pile ;-( What it should look like:...See MoreWhen are acorns 'ready' to be picked?
Comments (7)For the species that separate from the cap, I think you could safely pick them off the tree when the nut is essentially all tan/brown with just a little hint of green AND when it separates easily from the cap with minimal force/pressure. If you have to fight with it, it's not ready. If it gives in easily, it's ready. Probably the same is true for species that retain the cap longer, as long as they look fairly ripe and come off the stem without much force they're basically ripe enough for germination purposes. Time, of course, will depend on species....See MoreWhen are Peppers ready to pick?

Comments (1)It depends on what you want to do with it, eat it soon or keep it for long term storage. Technically they can be picked and eaten at any time after they reach the size you want but they won't keep for long and the more you let them mature the better the flavor. But since most grow winter squash for storage purposes if that is the goal then you want to wait until the stem is brown and dry and the skin, the peel, of the squash is hard. That is usually in late August into Sept. depending on where you are located. Some use the thumbnail test - can't dent the skin with your thumbnail. Others use the pigtail test - the small curly "pigs tail" vine right above the stem is dry and brown. Dave...See MoreRelated Professionals
