When harvesting tomatoes, it is important to know a few rules and secrets.
How to Harvest Tomatoes Properly
When harvesting tomatoes, it's best to use soft gloves, such as cotton work gloves, wool, or leather gloves, to avoid damaging their delicate skin.
If you're unsure about the ripeness of a tomato and hesitant to pick potentially ripe fruits, simply taste them to check.
Tomatoes should be cut rather than broken off or plucked. Using scissors is safer and more convenient than using a knife.
After harvesting, sort through the tomatoes to identify any that are damaged or affected by issues like late blight.
Set these aside and process them immediately.
