So far,

I pick mine when they just start to turn blushy looking. One year I didn't

get one good tomato due to varmints getting them, so now I don't wait and

put them in my kitchen window to ripen. I've got a few small ones, too,

about the size of large plums. I'm looking forward to the larger tomatoes

when they finally put on fruit!

Inquiring minds need to know: Were you able to discern any difference in taste between vine ripened and kitchen window ripened?
