I've been growing tomatoes for years, and **today** is the first I've heard about the "breaker stage". That is, once the blossom end of a tomato shows its first blush of color, **that** is the point that it should be harvested. Leaving it on the plant adds nothing to the flavor, encourages the plant to produce fewer tomatoes, and also increases the risk to the tomato on the vine.

Is this common knowledge?
