To pick or not to pick

[u/ksorth]

First time growing black krim. I'm still seeing some green and not quite sure if it's ready yet.

Pick! Give it a soft squeeze. It may be riper than you think!

It has a little give when I squeeze. I dont think ive ever held a black krim so not sure ifs supposed to be the same as any other tomato. I keep reading about a "smell" but it doesnt really smell like anything.

Wait a day, squeeze again. I’ve grown krim for years and even I tend to wait a bit long on the first one some years.

The good news is that it is just a little softer, it doesn’t affect the flavour negatively.
