• Use a sharp pair of scissors or garden pruners to harvest the fruits.
  • The quality of fruit is best in early morning hours on hot summer days.
  • Tomatoes will last a while from harvest if stored in a cool area.
  • Large tomatoes like Brandywine and Cherokee Purple that are prone to splitting are better
    picked in the green - pink stage and allowed to ripen on a windowsill.
  • Store tomatoes in a cool place until used.
