Questions About Organic Gardening. Please?
I was thinking about growing an organic garden. I have two questions
1. How do you know if your (example:tomatoes) have fully grown?
2. After you pick your(example:tomatoes) what are you gonna do next? as in, is it already fresh or do you have to do something else.

1) When they turn red
2) Eat them. Or cook with them. Or preserve them as in canning, freezing, drying…etc.
1) The plants never quit growing but you know the fruit is full grown when it has a light star shape on the bottom while still green or you see any color. When these things occur with a tomato fruit you know that the fruit is not going to grow any larger. But do not confuse fully grown for fully ripe. The fruit is ripe when it has turned red (or purple, orange, yellow, black or white). But there are different criteria for different crops (you might want to get a book on gardening produce)
2) Eat it if it is a tomato. Actually, you can most things you grow as soon as you pick it. Eggplant and potatoes need to be cooked first and things like squashes are much better cooked.
