Question by AlfredAshford: If i pick pale red tomatoes, will they get more ripe if i let them sit in a bowl a few days?
I picked a few perhaps a little too early by mistake.. and im wondering if they will get redder and less firm and perhaps sweeter if i let them sit in a bowl on my counter for a few days or a week or something..
anyone have any info on this?

brown paper bag them ,2 to 3 days on your counter.
Once they show any signs of color, the sugar content is at its peak so picking them and letting them turn red is the same as waiting for them to turn red on the plant then pick.
Try letting them sit in a sunny window for a few days,this should ripen them up.
