When Are Huckleberries Ready to Pick? Huckleberries are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 9. The first berries are ready to pick when the bush is three to six years old, but it may take 10 to 15 years to reach maximum production. Huckleberries don't continue to ripen after you pick them. Harvest them when they are dark black, slightly soft, and dull instead of shiny. Unripe berries are bitter while ripe ones are sweet, so taste a few if you aren't sure. They become sweeter if you leave them on the bush a few extra days.

- Shell color is not necessarily a sign of maturity or ripeness. A pineapple can be ripe when it is practically all green outside. The plantation calls it “green-shell ripe.” Shell color of ripe fruit are divided into seven groups or levels ranging from No. 0, all green, to No. 6, all yellow. A pineapple will not ripen any further – get any sweeter – after picking. It is sugar that makes pineapple sweet after ripe. The sugar comes from the conversion of starch reserves in the stump at the time of ripening. Fresh pineapples from Hawaii are picked at maximum ripeness for delivery to U.S. markets.

When is Corn Ready to Pick? First, look at the top ear on your corn plant. The top ear is always the first to ripen. It will look fatter than the other ears on the plant and it will start to lean away from the stalk, almost at a 90 degree angle. The silk on an ear that is ready to pick will turn brown, will feel very dry, and should peel right off in your hand. If the silk near the very tip of the ear of corn is dry, then that ear is very ripe for picking! The silk on an unripe ear of corn will feel soft, wet, and will be red in color. If the top ear on your corn plant is ripe, ears further down the stalk should ripen about ten days later.

How to Ripen a Plum Place the plums in a clean paper bag. Any paper bag will do, but it should be empty of all contents except plums. When plums (and other fruit) ripen, they emit ethylene. Placing them in a paper bag with the top folded over keeps the gas close to the plums, speeding up the ripening process. An even quicker method is to put a ripe banana in the bag with the plums. The extra ethylene produced by the banana will cause the plums to ripen fast. Don't place the plums in a plastic bag. Using a nonporous bag will prevent fresh air from entering, and the plums will end up having a funny taste.
