This is a really dumb question, but how do I tell when my seedless  
canadice grapes are ripe?  They have started to turn color, and are  
getting sweet.  But I like tart fruit, and might well enjoy them  
before they are fully ripe.  They are seedless, so I can't evaluat  
the maturity of the seeds.  I planted the vine "blind", having never  
tasted the grape.

I am going away for a week soon, and want to pick as many as  
reasonable to discourage pests (birds, squirrels, etc.) from learning  
about them.  But I'd rather not pick all of them under-ripe, either.

Thanks,
Ginda
