There appears to be a reasonably wide window of ripeness which is acceptable, particularity for processing. I like them quite ripe for this use. This means leaving them on the vine until required.

For table slicing there seems to be an ideal time to pick which is subjective. I prefer mine not too ripe.

But all said and done my procedure is to leave on the vine until required for the table or processing. Obviously this means having your own garden to put fully into effect.
