Nancy Drew and the Secret of Shadow Ranch Hints
Exactly what should I pick?
1 of 8: The ripe Beefsteak tomatoes are obvious -- they're bright red.
2 of 8: The Golden Queen tomatoes are ripe when they're orange, so take the orange ones.
3 of 8: The Black Turtle beans aren't picked until they're dry and brown, so skip them for today.
4 of 8: The Northern Lights tomatoes are ready when they're pinkish, so take those ones.
5 of 8: Ripe Old Ivory Egg tomatoes are hard to spot; the ripe ones are yellowish, the unripe ones are whitish. These are whitish, so leave them alone.
6 of 8: Romano beans should be picked when they're green and full. What you have here are two overripe ones and a bunch of unripe ones. Take just the overripe ones; Shorty will toss them, but they'll be out of your way.
7 of 8: So that's:
8 of 8: 2 Beefsteak tomatoes 2 Golden Queen tomatoes 4 Northern Lights tomatoes 2 overripe Romano beans (optional)
