+1   Especially with Jersey tomatoes. And throw a little pepper on for good measure.

Neat.  We've eaten our first home grown tomatoes this summer, and they were delicious.  I can't garden at all so my wife does most of the work. :D

If you have some that are not what you would call ripe batter them and fry'em, nothing better than fried green tomatoes

The whole idea of growing tomatoes is to get sweeter tomatoes. The last thing a tomatoe does in the ripening stage is sweeten.

That is why homegrown always taste better. The ones at the store have to picked green so they can make it to market before they rot. If they let them ripen on the vine and pick them they'd spoil before they got to market.


Oh and.... BLTs baby

Looks good, getback.  I may suggest trying to get a little more sunlight evenly to the plants if possible though, as it looks like you have some pretty uneven ripening going on.  The more you can regulate the sunlight and temperature that reaches the fruit, the more steady your ripening will be.

You can also toss em in a brown bag to speed up ripening, but yea Shuffler is correct -- the longer they can stay on the plant (without insect or other damage!) the sweeter they will be, particularly in dry weather.  

Enjoy!

Good solid advice. Next year I'm going to be a little more attentive.

I tell you guys this, you cut them open and the aroma is magnificant as is the flavor.
