A tomato is at its peak of flavor when it becomes fully colored (whether thatâs red, yellow or green-striped) and the texture is somewhere between firm and soft when you push into it with your thumb. In many cases, they will mature to this ideal state on the vine. If so, pick them as they ripen and enjoy.
Timing of Planting. Transplant tomatoes only after the danger of spring frosts has fully passed. Seeds can be started indoors eight to 12 weeks before this last expected frost date. In southeastern Texas, it is possible to transplant tomatoes in late summer about 100 days before the expected first fall frost date. The opportune time for tomatoes is when temperatures are between 75 and 85 degrees during the day and between 60 and 70 degrees at night.
