Use This Hack To Protect Your Tomatoes From Pests!

Are you tired of sharing your tomatoes with outdoor critters? Use this hack to harvest tomatoes before the birds and squirrels! 

Tomatoes continue to mature off the vine, so you can pick them before they’re fully ripe. As soon as the end begins to change color, you can begin to pick your tomatoes!

Once picked, store your tomatoes in a dry and dark place inside to fully ripen. (This could be as simple as a cardboard box.) Remember to check your tomatoes frequently and remove ripe fruit to prevent spoilage.

Happy Tomato Season!
