A tomato is at its peak of flavor when it becomes fully colored (whether thatâs red, yellow or green-striped) and the texture is somewhere between firm and soft when you push into it with your thumb. In many cases, they will mature to this ideal state on the vine. If so, pick them as they ripen and enjoy.
Mangoes flower in spring, and the fruit matures from October through to April, depending on the variety and the location. The fruit is ready to pick when the skin turns from green to yellow, orange or red (depending on the variety). Itâs also a good idea to pick a sample mango and cut it open. If the flesh next to the seed is yellow, the crop should be ripe in one week and can then be harvested.
