A tomato is at its peak of flavor when it becomes fully colored (whether thatâs red, yellow or green-striped) and the texture is somewhere between firm and soft when you push into it with your thumb. In many cases, they will mature to this ideal state on the vine. If so, pick them as they ripen and enjoy.
The best time to set out tomato plants is after danger of frost, which is usually anytime in April, May or early June. If you started seed indoors, the seedlings should be about 6 to 8 inches tall and hardened off before transplanting outside.he best time to sow seeds directly into the garden is after all danger of frost and soil has warmed, usually in May. Prepare the soil by amending with compost, peat moss or leaf mold, and deeply spade or plow the area. When sowing seeds, place three seeds in a 1/2-inch-deep hole with 1 inch between holes.
