Wanna make sure I actually get to eat this instead of the animals getting it, is it ripe enough to pick and let ripen inside?

You can absolutely pick it. I have been picking all of mine as soon as they start to blush so that the critters don’t get to it first. You can put it in a brown paper bag with an apple to speed up the ripening inside.

Pick it? yes but I’d wait. Eat it? You’d have to wait anyway.

WTF! It looks amazing! Great job. What zone are you in? I am in Central Texas and my beefsteak plants are about 4-5 feet high but no tomatoes. Pretty sure its just too hot for the pollen/flowers at this point.

This is the perfect time to pick it.

You can pick them once they start to change color, they will continue to turn red over the next few days

I pick all mine at first blush so I get them before the critters. Nothing worse than patiently watching a tomato ripen with big plans for a mater sammich and come out to pick it and someone’s already taken a big bite out of it. 😡😤😅
It’ll ripen on the counter and will taste exactly like it ripened on the vine.

Not fully ripe. Give it a tug, if it easily comes off then it’s ready to eat. You can still clip it off and let it ripen near a window
