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.
Give Them a Thump. Another way how to tell when pumpkins are ripe is to give the pumpkin a good thump or a slap. If the pumpkin sounds hollow, that the pumpkin is ripe and ready to be picked. The Skin is Hard. The skin of a pumpkin will be hard when the pumpkin is ripe. Use a fingernail and gently try to puncture the pumpkinâs skin. If the skin dents but doesnât puncture, the pumpkin is ready to pick.
