Dumb tomato question

My tomatoes are getting to be a good size and now I finally have one that is getting red. Exactly when do you pick it? I know, probably a dumb question but I don't want to do anything wrong with my one and only ripe one. Do you wait until they are red red? It's been turning red for about 3 days now.

Re: Dumb tomato question

  • I like to wait until mine are red red--I think they taste better.  My DH will pick them when they're orange and bring them in to finish ripening inside.

    Green tomatoes will eventually turn red after they're picked.

    Whatever works for you.

  • I usually attempt to figure out when I am planning to use it. If I am using right away I pick when its red red - if I want to spread them out, I usually pick when they are orange or light red and let them ripen inside.
