Mid north coast(ish). I picked ours two weeks ago to keep them from the
bats.
They were a good size, some are ripening and taste really good. I was
just
wondering if there is a more scientific approach, that is next year when I
have bat nets up will they be better if left longer, if so how much
longer.
