Harvest the fruit as soon as it ripens, breaking off the short stems where they join the vine. Tomatoes are sensitive to cold, so harvest outdoor crops before the first frost. Never store freshly picked tomatoes in the refrigerator, as this will affect their flavor and texture. Unripe fruit can be cut off with part of the stem and brought indoors to ripen naturally. Green tomatoes can also be used to make tasty chutneys or homemade preserves.
