When do i pick my tomato off the plant? It's mostly green still but the bottom is start to turn red?

Question

Are you supposed to wait until it's all red or is now alright? I don't want to mess up my first tomato picking.

Answer 1

always pick the tomatoes when they are fully red.green tomatoes shouldn't be picked until they are red!!!

Answer 2

Let it ripen on the vine as long as possible for the greatest taste. If you see signs of splitting in the fruit, you have let it go to far and need to eat it right away.

Answer 3

let it go just all red but not too red.

I pick mine when theres just a hint of green left...delicious
