Color

WildLife · June 1, 2006

Hello all
I am growing Marvel Stripe for the first time.
It is suppose to be a Bi Color. Gold with Red Stripes.
I picked it early for reasons to numerous to type.
It was just blushing yellow. As it counter top
ripened it turn a nice gold, then hint stripes of red, OK
so far so good. It still felt a little firm so I gave it another
day...........Now it is red with a hint of Gold stripes.
What is up?

I've only grown one bi-color before, but they ripen quickly and turn to mush quickly. They have practically no shelf life. So don't wait too long to eat that sucker! You may want to go ahead and do that today.
