I harvest the tomatoes a little early, otherwise, they’ll often rot on the vine. They WILL continue to ripen after being picked.
It’s hard to say exactly when I’ll pick them. When they’re showing some good color, earlier if I see any spots that might turn mushy. I lose a lot of them that way. Sometimes I’ll see a good one, especially those close to the ground and then grab it; splat! A fully mushed one! Sometimes a slug, bird or mouse will take a bite and cause premature rot.
Better to throw those out!
The ones I see are about 2/3 orange (on top) with green the other 1/3. Maybe some slight tints of red.
What’s your best guess? I’m a rookie. Thanks again.
