Thats real interesting info- perhaps Carolyn was right after all " when she said -tomatoes are deemed ripe when they show the first touch of red- sometime back this year.
No, I never said that tomatoes were RIPE when they showed the first touch of red ( insert here first touch of any color). What I've said is that when they show some color that the seeds are OK to harvest.
Commercially, tomatoes are referred to by breaker stages and there are four of them/
Breaker # 1 is green fruit with no color
Breaker #2 is a touch of color at the blossom end as Keith showed.
Breaker #3 is color about half way up.
Breaker #4 is an almost ripe tomato fruit.
