WOW! Tomato harvest 2017! CHALLENGE TO MY VIEWERS STOP WASTING GET CHICKENS!

What happens here

Walk through rows of tomato plants, specifically looking for Roma tomatoes or other sauce varieties. Focus on picking tomatoes that are beginning to show color (e.g., turning from green to yellow, orange, or light red). Avoid tomatoes that are already deep red and soft, as these are best for immediate consumption and will spoil quickly if stored for sauce-making. The presenter emphasizes picking any tomato showing color to maximize the harvest for later processing.

Goal: Walk through the tomato garden to identify and carefully pick tomatoes that have just started to change color, avoiding fully red ripe ones to prevent rapid spoilage.
