I'm in the no difference camp, so I pick at first blush and get to enjoy beautifully ripened, incredibly tasty tomatoes before the backyard critters decide to treat themselves to a bite or two from each before throwing them around the yard. The key is to wait until you see some color.

And, I picked about 15 totally green Carbons at the end of one season before frost. At least 10 turned ripe and pretty tasty. Surprised me.
