A couple of days ago, I posted about my tomato harvest. Being a new gardener, I was not exactly sure what stage the tomatoes should be picked. Some gardening sites indicated wait until completely red, others said, light red is fine, and others said green is ok to pick too. So I purposely picked them in different stages. I was pretty dubious about the green ones, and was really suspicious about a red one that had pin holes in the skin-what if it has worms?
Well, today I am happy to report the green ones do turn red after sitting on the counter for a day or two. I opened it up and it tasted great. As for the one with the pin pricks, I sliced across the tomato and found the tiny holes did not go deep. After searching the internet for an explanation, I found that tiny beetles occasionally make these holes but they move on. No worms-what a relief!
