Q: I took your advice and tried some new vegetables in my garden this year. I have several colors of tomatoes that are not red. I am new to gardening, so how do I tell when the various colors of tomatoes are ripe?
A: Even though everyone thinks they know how to pick red tomatoes, I would guess that many people pick them at the wrong time. Different colors make it even harder. Some varieties are ripe when others are not, even with the same characteristics.
