Ok but those tomatoes are WAY better than the grocery store. Also I’m definitely going to have several hundred tomatoes to deal with very soon.

Does anyone know when it’s a good time to pick passion fruit?

All mine have turned purple but I think they are supposed to turn wrinkly? It’s been a few weeks.

I don’t want to leave them much longer because the possums will definitely eat them. Will they ripen fully off the vine? Some places say wait until they fall off but I that means I don’t get passion fruit.

No idea what variety they are. Maybe Panama? They grew from the compost.

I’d wait til wrinkles start if you can’t wait til they fall.

Would little bags over the fruit protect from the possums?

They are primarily aesthetic passion fruit (we trained the vine to screen the front verandah) so I’m reluctant to bag. I’ll risk waiting for the wrinkles.

The house nearby that did the same as had all theirs taken by cockatoos so hopefully they don’t spot ours :crossed_fingers:
