[Ag-eq] Eggplants

[Nella Foster]

Tracy it seems to me if you let them go to long they taste bitter.  I have
used the color identifier to see if it seems uniform.

I prefer the long kind of eggplant; they seem to have a better taste and
they don't seem as sensitive when it comes to picking.

Does anyone know how to tell when an eggplant is ripe?  It's so seldom I get
one to actually make it that far, I'm not sure when to pick it.

Do they soften up, like tomatoes do?  Do the flower remnants on the top
loosen up?  Should I get out the color detector and try to tell if it's
purple?  Not that I know what color it is when it's not ripe.
