I wouldn't mind picking sooner, as there are some really large, clean ones.
Whats too early?

For our personal use, we find that watching for the star at the blossom end, then picking them any time after that, depending upon weather, etc. and bringing them into a room temperature countertop or shelf that is *not* in the sun produces good tomatoes with less risk of damage than leaving them out until fully ripe.
