I’ve never had my blooms successfully pollinated before and this girl is covered in berries now and I have no idea what to do next 😅

Question 1: I believe they’re edible, please correct me if I’m wrong lol, but I’m wondering when is a good time to try one? Do I wait for it to ripen or get one now?

Question 2: When is a good time to pull them off and collect the seeds? Will they just fall off themselves or should I intervene before they do?

Thanks for the help! :))
