How can I tell if they are ripe, There are prickles on their skins, and a bit yellow on underside. Do not want to pick too early. They nare looking pretty good.

They're ripe now at my place. I just pick them at the right size.

I thought the little bit that joins to the stem shrivels when it s ripe

Try one and see. The underside won't colour if in shade. Get in quick, before you know it they'll be marrows!

yellow is getting too mature, just pick when they are a reasonable size.
