Congratulations! That is great.

My Blue Java have been hanging on the plant over winter. I have tried cutting hands off at that stage of maturity and they never ripen. Blue Java has to be very plump before you can remove a hand. The good news is that in my experience hands ripen at different times and you can really spread the harvest out over several weeks.

Good luck and keep us posted.
