@theshilohfarm: 3 Quick Garden Tips You don't have to wait until your tomatoes are fully ripe to pick them. Once they're over 50% they're ripened color, you can pull them off the vine and let them fully ripen on the counter! Sweet corn juice is the key to determine if it's ready to pick. pinch a kernel and if the juice is clear and watery, it's not ready. If the juice is milky AND opaque then it's over-ripe.
