    Depends on the type of tomato, but if it’s supposed to be red, then yep just give it like a week or so depending on weather

        You could probably pull it today if you have critters around, because it’ll continue to ripen inside. Around me critters will wait till it gets red then eat everything (if I don’t cover everything with nets). If you don’t care about critters, you should maybe give it a 1-3 days.

          Pro tip: if you pick them at the “blush” stage and put them stem-side down on a windowsill, they’ll ripen evenly and still develope great flaver without risking critter theft.

          I already pulled it the moment I saw it being slightly red :D

          It’s very red now and joined by a few others! There’s rabbits outside and squirrels and…some brown furry thing that’s super fast that I do not trust so I’ve been watching for them to redden a lot!
