green tomatos

Post by chookmike »

Hiya

Could anyone please advise how to get the last of the toms to go red before we pull the plants out for the winter - I think the sun is finished.

Is it something like putting them in a brown paper bag with a banana?

Cheers

Yes, a ripe banana. I think you're supposed to keep them in the dark.

Alternatively you could make green tomato chutney or fried green tomatoes.
