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.
