Growing salad tomatoes can be compared to an art that requires certain knowledge and skills from the gardener.
One of the important aspects of caring for this crop, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained, is harvesting.
In this article we will tell you how and when to pick fruits from salad tomato bushes.
First, let's note that some varieties of salad tomatoes may lose sugar content when ripening directly on the bush.
Therefore, it is recommended to pick them before they turn completely red, approximately 50-80% "ready".
Such fruits are stored better, ripen well and acquire a rich tomato taste and aroma.
By the way, after harvesting, the fruits should be stored with the shoulders down, since the skin is thicker in this place, which allows you to store tomatoes for a long time without the risk of rotting.
Well, if you pick tomatoes to extract seeds from them, it is recommended to leave them on the bush until they are fully ripe.
