I'm trying a few tomatoes to add to my offerings this year and here's a simple beginner's question for you. At what stage should I pick tomatoes for sale at a local farmers' market? I think I may have waited too long for my first picking, thinking that they should be as ripe as possible. They are pretty, but more than a few have a few small darker red areas that are a little soft. Are they just a little over-ripe, or is something else likely to be going on? It doesn't really look nasty and haven't seen anything like it in photos of tomato disorders. Also, I have yellow shoulders on some fruit. Does this generally make them unsalable, or can I just sell them separately at a lower price? ============== Tom at Tom's Gardens Cut Flowers & Veggies Northern Lower Michigan |
