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.
Big Boy tomatoes are ripe and ready to harvest approximately 78 days after germination, depending on weather conditions. Unusually cold weather will delay ripening, while warmer weather can cause tomatoes to ripen faster on the vine. Harvest green tomatoes before the last frost and ripen them indoors.
