This will narrow down our search.<BR/><BR/>But perhaps we have simply chosen the wrong State Fair category in which to enter Ruby. I am working on a concept plan to incorporate her into one of the FFA Landscape Design dioramas. I am particularly fond of dioramas and think Ruby would make a good addition to one. Or perhaps as part of a diorama on how a volcano works.crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191075496948008704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528879424571213504.post-18426481338026767062008-08-17T23:41:00.000-04:002008-08-17T23:41:00.000-04:00Make sure you cool her as soon as possible to redu...Make sure you cool her as soon as possible to reduce water loss, and store her above 7.5°C (45°F) or she could suffer more water loss and shrivel. Storage at 7.5°C (45°F) is best for maximum shelf-life. She will respond very little to ethylene; to accelerate ripening or color change, so just hold her at room temp. Just some tips for next year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827853288158959772noreply@blogger.com
