Gardening

I tend to let them over ripen on the vines...certain ones have some great flavor.

When we were growing up we had to basket pick tomatoes in a specfic prescribed manner on the family farm. Slightly greens went to the bottom and the ripest to the top. They were all wiped and then the baskets were covered with towels or cloths and left in a shady area out side. We never had a problem selling them they were in high demmand. My uncle learned it from his father and grandfather they came from the old county. Hybrids tend to produce more meat but they do lack a bit in flavor and thats what most growers use.
