That is what I would expect them to be. What Ed purchased could not have been in that size range based on the price per pound, number of mangies and total paid.
I will stick to my guns about pickinv many fruits grrrn. That is not when you want to pick many varieties, unless you are looking for underripe and the potential for tart, chalky and not as sweet as they can or should be.
As far as snide, you don't know me and thats fine. Many on here do and know me personally, and know the comments I make are not personal. If people have thin skin and take everything personally, they should not be posting on a blog.. I make comments tnat people understand. I cant stand bullshitters. Yes, I am quick to call people out as many on here dont k ow and have taken the bushitters suggestions and followed poor and improper incormation. I would also add and stick to my guns in sayinv Pickerinv should never be picked green. You have every right to pick yours how you like. You can freely ignore what I say, no matter to me. My advjce I am giving are to people who want to maximize the potential and enjoy the fruit to its fullest extent. Oh, I picked about 50 Pickering today, none of them green but none of them even close to being ready to eat (as you know, pickering must be dead ripe for ig to show its flavor and true sweetness), just sayin...
