My veggies are starting to show me some love--just in time for our family vacation. There are a lot of developing fruit that will be fully ripe while we are gone. It's a span of only 3-4 days, but I don't want the plants to slow production b/c there's overripe veggies just hanging out. Dilemma is whether or not I should remove some of the veggies that are very close to being ripe, but aren't yet, or just let things go. In other words, should I commit veggie-cide? A neighbor has offered to water everything, but it's a raised deck with no ground access. Advice?
