Nice... how do u know they are ready to pick? Also when did you tie them up. i don't want to hurt them. the arms have tighten around my stakes. Is it necessary to tie them up? thanks i am new to this.

we tie them to train them up the cane and give extra support as the fruits do grow to a good size. we pick them when they either reach the size the packet states they should grow to or when we think they look too good to leave there hanging and would look better on our plate haha!!
