Apologies in advance if I'm spamming too much. Do cherry tomatoes (or tomatoes in general) not ripen together all at once? Do some ripen faster than others? (lemmy.world)

And how do I keep my ripe tomatoes fresh so as to not use them and wait for the others to ripen for a bigger harvest?

some ripen faster than others, you know they're ripe when a gentle touch can pull them off the stem

nothing wrong with harvesting a few, eating them, and then harvesting more the next day, IMO

Yeah I harvested 3 cherry toms earlier, these are the orange variety of cherry tomatoes.

You're not wrong there with the eating them part, it tastes so fresh every time, making the wait so worth it!
