Additional Information
Harvested when the rind cannot be dented with your thumbnail. Complete the harvest before the first hard frost. Stems and vines will be hard and dry at harvest time. It is often easy enough to snap the fruit from the vine but leave 5-7 cm (2-3”) of the stem on the fruit to help preserve moisture. |
