That's a lot of tomatoes!
Why do you pick them so green? I always wait until they are more red than that.

Gotcha! Thanks for the explanation. My grandma didn't like green tomatoes and any green ones that fell off while she was picking got tossed into the pasture.

I know tomatoes continue to ripen after being picked but we never picked them green. There just wasn't enough space on the porch to let tomatoes set to ripen.
