I'm no tomato expert by any means, but tomato's will be in the ripening stage (green to red) for 15-25ish days. they don't all hit at once but they will ripen within that general timeframe.
as for the early ones before a big batch, eat em? nothing you can really do other then leave them on the vine and hope they don't over ripen, or leave em on the counter or something until you have your desired quantity. they might start to go bad if left too long. nothing specifically you can do to stop nature from doing what it does.
Yeah I guess that makes the most sense, I just wanted to know what people's procedure/opinions for these things as I'm still starting out gardening as of a couple of months ago. Thank you.
We get around 3 cherry tomatoes ripening each day so there's that for some context lol, more ripening as we speak.
