When to pick

Bulldog · June 22, 2016

How ripe do you let them get on the vine? I've got some Bwine sudduth and Margaret Curtain turning color.

Since I've got squirrels and ground squirrels and it is a race between them and me, when would you pick them?

I have tulle bags over them, trying to cover any that turn color to disguise them. But some of the big ones won't fit.

Usually, I have 4 plants, a couple cherry type and 2 big ones, and the squirrels get them all except for a few cherries.This year, since reading Tomatoville, I have a lot more plants, so I am hoping to at least taste some of the bigger tomatoes.
