My tomato plants are enormous and several Sweet 100s have grown up to the top of the cage and spilled down 5 feet or so. I am collecting tomatoes as soon as I see a blush and bringing them indoors to ripen, to keep them out of greedy squirrel mouths. Of course the cherry tomatoes ripen fast so sometimes they will be ripe and red when I pick them.

There is so much foliage that sometimes I'll pull back some branches and the interior will be dark like the dead of night, and sometimes there will be perfect vine ripened tomatoes that were not seen and picked earlier because of the lack of light, those are my 'dead of night' tomatoes. There were 3 of those today. Fortunately, the squirrels don't seem to see them either.
