I'm not sure why tomatoes ripen at different sizes.<br /><br />You can wait and let tomatoes ripen on the vine, but if you find bites taken out of them from birds, then you may want to beat them to the tomatoes.<br /><br />Thyme2garden, you can harvest cucumbers at any size, but they are best before they get large enough for the seeds to develop.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-49754567644263163232010-07-29T21:46:15.914-04:002010-07-29T21:46:15.914-04:00I've been wondering the same thing, too, not j...I've been wondering the same thing, too, not just about tomatoes, but also cucumbers.
