@thefrenchiegardener: Stop waiting for your tomatoes to turn fully red before harvesting 🌿 Once a tomato starts changing from green to orange or slithlt red, it has already received almost everything it needs from the plant. Harvesting at this stage often reduces waste 🍅 It reduces the risk of cracking. 🐛 It keeps birds, insects and other animals from getting to them first. 🌧️ It helps avoid damage from rain, heat and disease. ☀️ They will continue ripening beautifully indoors at room temperature. Just don’t put them in the fridge, cold temperatures reduce their flavour! Green Love to you 💚 #tomato #garden
