We have a birdbath on the porch and they still ate my 'maters!
Ate them when they were totally green, so I didn't even have
a chance to wait for a pink star like Sandie mentioned.

Sigh.......

Look closely at the bottom of your green tomato. The rest of it still
looks
green when that faint pink star first starts appearing. The star I am
talking about looks kinda like the startburst pattern that you see around
lights in the rain, etc. At first it looks like a different color of
green -
leave it till it the star starts to look pink.

Good luck!

I'll do that, next season, when I do this over again, the
squirrels took them all..........
