Garden Notes Guidelines for your fruit harvests
Pears ripen best at 60-70 degrees F for seven to ten days in sealed bags. Apples mature at minimum maturity with crisp flesh and stored at near 32 degrees with high humidity. Grapes should be tasted for sweetness before harvest as color alone misleads. Winter squash and pumpkins ripen when skin is firm glossy and stems retained. Potatoes harvest after vines die store best at 40-45 degrees with high humidity. Richard Freeman Linn County Extension director.
