🍅✨ Did you know the best time to pick tomatoes isn’t when they’re fully red? It’s when they hit the blush stage — just starting to turn color! Here’s why I always pick early: ✅ They ripen perfectly indoors ✅ Less chance of splitting from rain ✅ Fewer pest & critter problems ✅ Longer harvest window So next time you see that little bit of color… don’t wait! Pick it, let it finish ripening on the counter, and enjoy at peak flavor. 🌿 Do you harvest at blush or wait until they’re bright red on the vine? 👇 TomatoTips Gardening101 HomesteadHarvest TomatoSeason GardenToTable growyourownfood
