Question by yupgigirl: When do garden tomatoes ripen?
I planted a tomato plant about a month ago, in June. A lot of tomatoes are hanging off the vine, but green… very big though. A week ago, a few started turning yellow… and that’s where they stayed.
I couldn’t stand it anymore so I picked the deepest yellows… and was surprised to find out that they taste exactly like red tomatoes?! Do you think they’re really ripe? I thought I bought a red-tomato plant… Do you think I should pick them when they’re a deep yellow? I’m so confused…

See if they turn any redder on the vine. If not, pick them and see if they turn red on your counter. …If not, then you bought yellow tomatoes. Or, maybe it could be something funny with your soil?
The variety of tomato you bought must have been a yellow tomato. So, deep yellow would be ripe. They should be a little less acidic than red.
If you like them they’re ripe enough. ever try fried green tomatoes? slice them ’bout 1/4 inch thick, flour, cornmeal, etc. both sides(or plain) and fry on med till golden brrown. yummy.
Usually in about 75 days. Most people keep start getting them by July. Maybe you planted a variety that is yellow. Why not pick one and see.
You have a yellow tomato plant, like a yellow beefsteak, not a red. These are good, just a bit sweeter than the pink or red.
September, or when they are plump and ripe
