Hey everyone! I'm eagerly watching my green tomatoes grow and can't help but wonder how soon I might start picking the first ripe ones. Every year, I'm always hoping they'll be ready sooner than they actually are. How about you? When do you usually begin harvesting your tomatoes?

In Northeast Texas, I usually start harvesting in late May. I've been enjoying ripe tomatoes a couple of times a day this week! It’s always such a thrill, right?
For me, I wait until the tomatoes start turning yellow or orange. It always feels like it’s taking forever, but then suddenly, they’re ripe! Once they start coming in, I have way more than I can eat!
Your tomatoes look gorgeous! What varieties do you grow?
