Natalie said:Rita, the further along they are growing, the sweeter they get. I don't mean more ripe. Just more time. The earlier ones are sweet, but nothing like the ones I've got now. Hopefully you'll find them to be the same. Last year was the first year growing them. When I tasted the first ones to ripen, I thought they were really sweet, but I was expecting them to be sweeter. A month or so later, the taste had really changed, and they were like candy. Right now they are perfect!


Good to know. Maybe they really like the warmer weather. Thumbs up
