Jim,
Depends on how many you want ripe at once. Get out as many at a time as you want, but if they are pears that can store for a decent time, leave the others cold. I have found that they all start out hard, reach their peak flavor and eventually are overripe. The speed this happens at varies with temp and variety. And then there is you. Do you want them hard, softish, or when their flavor is highest? I discovered on my first crop of Warrens that they taste best just before they go bad. Likewise some weird long green pears someone brought me this week, I don't think they are very good, but the best of the lot had mushy spots that I ate around. None of the sound specimans even came close to tasting as good. Donna
