I was complaining this morning, to myself, that the garden seemed slow this year. I’d harvested a few jalapenos, but everything else was taking its sweet time. This morning, when I walked through the garden, I was surprised by a few tomatoes – dark cherries a friend gave me and some Early Girls.
They need to sit on the counter for a few days to fully ripen. I follow a tomato guru and in his videos, he says the flavor will be the same if they finish ripening on the counter or on the vine, but you’ll have fewer problems – bugs, weather – if you bring them in as soon as they are ripening.
