Congratulations. It's nice to harvest and especially nice when you are
in the city. That's a good picking. It's good to pick them before a
rain. If not, lots of times they crack and what not.

It's funny, your garden posts remind me of when I used to make similar
posts from Miami area. I always wanted to talk garden when list mates
were huddled at the wood stove. Now I'm on the other end of that!
