  • 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.
