Identify the Ripe Tomatoes:
- Look for tomatoes that are fully colored, whether they are red, yellow, or another color depending on the variety.
- The tomatoes should be firm yet slightly soft to the touch, indicating they are ripe and ready for picking.
Harvesting Process:
- Gently grasp the tomato and twist it off the vine, or use a pair of garden scissors or pruners to cut the stem.
- Be careful not to damage the plant or other tomatoes while harvesting.
- Place the harvested tomatoes in a basket or container, avoiding stacking them too high to prevent bruising.
Post-Harvest Handling:
- Bring the tomatoes indoors to sort and inspect for any damage or overripeness.
- Lightly wash the tomatoes and allow them to air dry.
- Store tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight until you are ready to sell them.
