Immediately.

I think you'll find it's a little bit woody at that stage. It's best to pick it when it's still tan or the lightest yellow in color.

Heres a pic of what mine looked like when I harvested them along with some boothbys blonde

Thanks! That is what mine looked like, just some faint yellower stripes on the light yellow!

Those Boothby's look interesting!
