Culinary gets grillin' Darragh DoironThe Port Arthur News Corn: Puncture a kernel with your fingernail. If a milky fluid flows out, it’s time. If the liquid is toothpasty, the corn is over mature. Silk should be brown.
Cucumbers: Cut from vine when cukes are a deep green and seeds are still soft. Storage onions: When about half of the leaves topple, push the rest over. Let onions cure in the soil for a week. Potatoes: Dig spuds when the vines die back. Winter squash: Harvest when your thumbnail does not readily pierce the skin. Leave a 2-inch stem to avoid storage rot. Tomatoes: Harvest at full color. An overripe tomato quickly loses its firmness. Never put them in the refrigerator. Watermelon: Pick when the tendril closest to the fruit’s stem withers and the belly turns cream to yellowish.
