Passion fruit harvest

Hi I have passion fruit growing in my garden, I’ve looked up and it says to pick fruit when it’s purple but mine only seem to go from green to orange then dies can you advise?

The purple fruited variety blooms earlier and is ready to eat earlier too - usually at the end of summer.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The fruits are dark green/brown and slowly turn black with a hard "shell " . I find mine usually are ready to harvest by October in most years.
The plant in your photo looks more like the basic P cerulea which is not particularly edible. The flowers and the colour of your fruit would suggest that may well be what you have.
