2023 - What I harvested today

Tomatoes starting to trickle in steadily now. Does anyone else find the first few tomatoes from a plant always taste a bit rubbish? They've improved massively in flavour over the past week or so.

Is it also that we tend to scrump the first few perhaps a little before their optimum ripeness because we're eager to taste the first tomatoes, then later on when they're in full flush we can afford to let them really ripen up on the plant.  I've noticed that on the windowsill Red Robin, the first few are watery and tasteless and usually a disappointment whereas others left to ripen properly are much better.
