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.
Limes, on the other hand, are yellow when they are completely ripe, but are picked while they are still green and are best when picked just before they ripen. Ultimately, the best way to determine whether or not a lemon or lime is ripe and ready to be picked is to pick one of the fruit, cut it open and taste it. Harvesting. Unless the fruit has been exposed to frost, lemons and limes not do well if they are picked before they are ready.
