How long will the fruit take to ripen?
Comments (3)I usually start picking mine in the fall and harvest the last ones before the first freeze. Mine are outdoor plants though. If yours are container grown then it will depend on when they flowered and set fruit. Meyers will typically get quite a bit larger than "grocery" store sized lemons also. How are yours grown?...See MoreHow long do figs take to ripen?
Comments (18)I am pretty new for fig grow, this year is my first yeat to harvest fig, I have one Petite Negra, 3rd year, got 4 small fig, slowly riped, at the same time, my chicargo hardy also the 3rd year, show up more fruits and riped quicker, My best fig is the one from North China, fengtai beijing fig, also, year 3rd from bareroot. The tree produced a lot of huge sized fruits, very juicy, start harvest every day starting the end of August. Still have a few to pick, I feel like the ripe depend on the temperature, one day hot like 80 degree, the fig size is boosted, I have to pick it otherwise, the bird got them. I am going to write down the ripe schedule next year for reference. Wendy...See MoreHow long do chillies ripen
Comments (4)All depends ,my experience mild chilies ripen faster than the hotter ones.i would say a month to a month +..weather also plays a factor....I would let them stay on the plant ripe as they build heat and flavor..just don't let them start to wrinkle unless u plan on drying them..example a green habenaro will taste like a bell pepper and a ripe one burn your tongue off....See MoreHow to get my tomatoes to ripen before it freezes?
Comments (8)Carrie lays newspaper on a counter in her pool house and lays the green tomatoes out to ripen. I it stays cool but doesn't freeze in there this time of the year. I don't have that amount of counter space so I wrap each tomato in newspaper and stack them in a box. I place the box in the unheated garage. Check them in a few weeks and use those that are ripe, re wrap and put back those that aren't. Toss any that look bad. You have to pick them before a heavy frost or freeze....See Morehoustonpat

16 years agoI feed mine with half strength miracle grow or fish emulsion. I have no regular feeding schedule, just whenever I think about it.
I actually planted these for erosion control on the side of a very sandy bank next to a pine tree stump. I never really expected them to do much :)
Here is a photo of them while still on the plants...

8 years agoZozo13...Chef Mitch here...For ants I just use a fire ant killer sprinkled on the soil keepIng
it off the leaves. Pineapples receive water and nutrients through their leaves and not so much the roots so as long as you keep it off the plants you should be fine. If you want a more natural approach I have had success with boiling the leaves, stems and dried blooms of marigolds, let it steep like tea till cool then spray the plants and pour into the soil around the plant. works wonders for me. All bugs and ants seem to hate the marigold tea. This is a natural remedy handed down from my great-grandmother that she used before chemical insecticides were readily available. I've also had great success with pouring my used soapy dishwater on the plants, doesn't harm the plants... but the insects and ants hate it.
