2cent wrote: @HawkTheSlayer, WOW, quite the boatload.     But I must ask; why do you pick them so early?  So the plants produce more, or is there some other reason?

This variety ripens quickly after picking. 2 days.
But the main reason for picking them as soon as they start to turn is to prevent cracking from occurring.

Better quality and I can control the ripening process by watching all of them as the ripen. I move the ripest ones to the front of the cookie sheet and use those first. Then I move the next ripen ones into position with the greenest ones in the rear.  
In 2 days they will all be red. Too many pests and creatures here to peck the red ones.

Ooh, I loves fried green tomatoes. I'd cook some up w/dinner tonight, but the biggest ones might be the size of golf balls.

They aren't really green. I pick them when they first start turning.

I know I'm going to hell for this . But in the fall, when I was in my 20s one of the last houses on the paved road to the camp before it turned to gravel, then dirt, was a local sports casters camp. He had a big garden there and spent most of his time there although he lived in Baton Rouge.

He liked to drink heavily and was a pretty good guy.

One night I left the camp and went to a bar on that particular lake(not the one here) . He was drunk and told me something I didn't like. I just let it slide.

The next week at dusk , me and a podnuh were going to the camp to hunt for the weekend . I pulled in at his garden. No one was there. I picked all his green tomatoes! Man we fried dem tings for over 2 weeks at the camp. Lolol.
