Do you pull them off early due to pests or just to allow the plants to focus on producing more? I'm terrible at this, I leave mine on pretty much until I'm ready to eat them lol.

These were pulked off , because my mom is impatient and she wanted tomato now

Haha I don't blame her! We had 2 big heirlooms a month ago but then nothing else yet aside from some cherries (the 2 we got formed while the plant was still in its pot and I missed them, and once I planted it in the garden the plant ripened those two but focused all its energy on growing nice and big, which means more tomatoes *overall* but not tomatoes *now*).

Put them in a brown paper bag for a few days until they ripen, make sure to close it If they are too unripe they can make you sick

Why the dv??? This is a legitimate method from someone who's grown tomatoes her entire life

I didn't do it. I'm gonna do that once I get one when I go to mom's after work. Play shouldn't may be able to just ripen up on the counter already without the bag. And shouldnt i put a banana in too

No need for banana, just give it a few days and tell turn nice bright red
