First time growing tomatoes, I have 6 plants and this is the first one that's turning red
I love green pickled tomatoes and would like to try pickling some. but are those just unripe reds? and at what stage are they developed enough that they won't taste just bitter?
One opinion I heard was that I had to wait till this stage when it's just about to turn red

When I pickle tomatoes, I find the greenest, hardest tomatoes from the very center of the plant. If they even have the tiniest bit of yellow, they’ll become squishy during pickling. I go to a U-pick farm to get enough to make it worthwhile. Adding a little pickle crisp before sealing the jars also gives them a better crunch.
