Alright, time for some dumb questions. I'm sure it won't be the last and hopefully someone else will learn from this too.
I picked these tomatoes because they split from being watered. They've been blushing for about a week and I didn't want to chance them rotting. All three had green shoulders but the bottom looked ripe. Since these are the first to ripen I wanted to see the inside so I cut 2 open and was confused as to whether these are ripe or not from the color.
Would you call these ripe? They were a little soft, not really firm but not very soft either.
Here's the big round one that I still have sitting to see if it all turns red.
I scraped the flesh off the skin to see the color. I'd call this yellow, what about you? This pic is with a flash.
This is without the flash.
