Don’t Make Me Blush
A Blushing Black Krim
People often ask us when to pick tomatoes from the vine. Once you see a faint blush on the fruit, it is time to bring them inside. Otherwise, fully-ripened, red fruit are just advertising that the buffet is open to all the squirrels and birds in the neighborhood. Do not fear that picking early will in any way mar the flavor. Once the tomato has reached this stage, it can ripen inside safely. At least until it encounters a hungry human.
