You can pick it now and store it upside down on the countertop and it continue to ripen. However I only pick my Tom’s when they’re fully red on the vine bc my finance says they taste better. I’ll only pick them green/less red off the vine if the vine is broken or we’re about to get single digit temps

Well I think they are nearly ready for picking
