...when limes are ready for picking/consuming?
They start out life as a little lime-green nubbin, and they never seem to change colors from that state until they are this big. These are Mexican Key limes, so I know they'll be smaller than standards, but these seem especially tiny...
Since I usually get asked, I'll tell you the nailpolish looks more sea-green in person, but the base coat is Funky Fingers Emerald Depths #73 and I put a glitter coat on top of that in Sinful Colors' Nail Junkie #927. ooh, shiny!

Limes get a yellowy blush as they ripen. Limes in stores that are all dark green aren't quite ripe yet, kind of like the tomatoes that have to be artificially reddened.
They should come off the tree easily, as opposed to having to pull them. Ask the agricultural agent in your county for more specifics in your area.
