(That's a lot of baby Jeffs). According to the 1963 U.S. Social Security Administration data, the name Jeff ranks #28 in popularity as a baby boy's name in Idaho. Imagine that, 51 babies in Idaho have the same name as you in 1963. Across the entire United States a total of 8,111 babies also bear the same first name during the same year.
Granny Smiths that are ripe have mostly converted their starches into sugars. Farmers cut an apple in half and spray it with the solution. If the inside of the apple remains white with only a thin black line near the outside flesh, then it is ripe. If the apple turns mostly black inside, it is not ready to harvest.
Other varieties take on a purple or deep red color when ripe. Press the flesh very gently. It should give, much like a ripe peach, but not be mushy. Leave the fig to ripen longer if the flesh is still hard. Test several fruits to get a point of comparison. Look for signs the figs are drooping on the branch. Unripe figs will stand straight out from the branch, defying gravity, while ripe figs begin to sag downward. Check the fig for signs of a curved stem. Examine the outside of the fruit.
