Im in Southern California and the day temps are in the mid 60"s and at night it is in the low 40"s and maybe into the high 30"s. I had a Raji bunch that first appeared in mid June and really does not seem to have matured. The fruit is about 3 -4 inches and no hint of yellow. It's been this way for months now with no apparent change. I would have thought that these would be ripe by now.

I also have a Kofi bunch which first appeared in early August. No yellow here and they seem on the small size as well.

With the cold weather that I have now, does it make sense to harvest these now and see if they ripen indoors?

I also have a Cardaba bunch but they emerged only 2 months ago. Don't know if they will develop with the cold.

Thoughts?
