I use a few tests to tell if an orange has gone bad:

- The rind is no longer orange

- It no longer smells like an orange

- It no longer tastes like an orange

Basically, if you have doubts, throw it away.

Or that most revealing would be, the orange wasn't appeelingly.

Touch the Okra. Ripe okra should feel tender to the touch. Wear gloves and long sleeves when feeling and harvesting the okra, as its small hairs are often irritating to the skin.

Measure the okra. okra should be picked when it is 2 to 3 inches long. The okra becomes too hard to eat when it grows any bigger.

Cut the okra from its stem with pruning shears when it is ready for harvest. A stem that is difficult to cut through indicates the okra is tough and too ripe.

You will find most nuts are ripe right about the time of first frost. But to be sure watch the squirrels. They will tell you when the nuts are ripe. I will bet they will get more than you do. You also can press into the husk with the ball of your thumb and if it leaves a dent the nut is ripe. Good Luck
