Default So excited -- things are starting to color up!

So far I can see ripening or at least color change in:

Sprite
Valencia
Dingwall Scotty
Greek Domata (though this may be due to it being invaded by a bird )

It's so rewarding to look out my kitchen window into the back yard and see a color other than green!

Gorgeous Kathy! If I were you, I would pick them now and let hem finish ripening on the counter top. Critters smell the ripening fruit, and you are liable to go out and see a big bite hole in them. Just a suggestion.
