Sungold split so badly for me that I couldn't get a ripe one off the plant without tearing it apart. It ain't worth it to me.

Yes, skip the bag! I've been picking at first blush and ripening in baskets and trays on the fireplace hearth in the living room for years. It's a spot where they are not getting any sun, they aren't subjected to the temperature spikes in the kitchen if I have the stove or oven on, they are out of the way, and in the evening I can sit on the couch and gaze upon their beauty instead of the TV if there is nothing good on! It's been a few years since I did a side-by-side with vine ripened, but I don't recall any difference. As for Sungold, I'm about a week or two away from trying it for the very first time. Can't wait to see what my tastebuds think of it. |

OK thanks. I'll try some ripened inside but I'll lose the paper bag.

Aristotelian or Kantian philosophy using judgmental logic is of no value with tomatoes since neither ever ate one. But then, perception is truth.

Some types when ripe on the vine don't last at all once you bring them in, e.g. Black Krim. If you pick it ripe, by the time you carry it to the kitchen and about to slice into it, it turns into mush. Instantaneously
Seriously, those are best eaten in situ, and why I carry a slicing knife and a salt shaker when i visit the garden |

Tormato,
So, I guess that's one less ingredient for salsa. Sungold salsa … I wonder. |

A thread from last year.
