Thanks. Also, if leave it on the cubbard for a day or two do you think it will ripen good? I ws always told that if you pick something too soon it wil get a little more ripe when left out for a few days. I heard that you are supposed to pull the stalks at the bottom since it is an established plant and it will grow back. I didn't know the leaves were toxic to dogs but there are no dogs in her fenced in yard except when I bring Autumn with me when I do yard work.
