I had the camera out this evening and took a few pictures of what's going on in the garden (some citrus, some not). If anyone's interested, I put them at this link:

I see your Riored. Mine are in the same state. When do you intend to harvest them?
Mine are getting pink but they are still hard under the thumb.
How do we know when they are ripe? Thanks.

I've harvested a few already that appeared to be softer, but I have a hard time knowing when they are ripe also. The few that I did have tasted great to me, but my wife thought that they were a bit sour. My 2 year old son saw me eating them and wanted me to share. Supprisingly, he loved it and wanted more. He must take after his crazy dad!!
