Squeeze the limes in your palm. Limes are ready to pick when they give slightly under gentle pressure. A lime that is still hard is not yet ripe and won't be juicy. Pick one lime, cut into it and sample its fruit. If the lime feels heavy for its size and the fruit inside tastes fresh and acidic, it is ready to be eaten.
Pear (Pyrus communis). Pears should be harvested just before they are ripe. Pick them when they change from a dark green colour to a light or yellowish green, but before they turn yellow. At this stage they will be firm, not soft. If left to ripen on the tree the flavour will not be as good.
