The folks that bred the Indigo Rose have a good description of what ripe looks like:

On Behalf Of Jay Sleichter Carla, Your question is very timely, I was just getting online to ask the exact same question. The largest ones are the size of golfballs and the plants are loaded. They have alot of leaf roll,
are yours this way too? Mine have been this way since they were very small, I am going with it is a variety thing.
I would love to hear from anyone who has grown them before too! Jay Jay's Jellies, Produce and More From: Carla Maness <manessfarm AT gmail.com> We planted a few Indigo Rose tomatoes this year, just to see what they are like. We picked a few this evening, and they are pretty, a very deep purple that looks almost black. I sliced
one up and it's bright green inside with no flavor. Obviously not mature, so how do you tell when they are mature? Johnny's catalog says " green when unripe, purple red when ripe. I'm guessing I picked too early, and the tomatoes will turn from this really
dark purple to a more purple-red? Is anyone else growing these?

There may be bugs on some of you mugs but their ain't no bugs on me... All the crops I grow are pre treated with imidacloprid. This keeps
my stuff insect free for most of the early weeks of growth. There is some disease starting to show up but so far this is a typical growing season in south Jersey... Bob.
