Anyway for me to speed up the ripening of my green tomatoes?? About to leave for India on the 30th and really want to use these tomatoes before I go....am I dreaming???? So much work went into gardening, I hate to waste.

Thanks gal friends...you are always there when I need you.

Beverly...you don't need to put anything but the tomatoes in the brown
paper bag...I do it all the time.

You can put a banana or an orange in a bag with the tomatoes to hasten ripening.

How about green tomato pickles? These were always a favorite in Maine where I grew up. Tomatoes didn't ripen very often.

I put green tomatoes wrapped in cardboard boxes; they ripen quite well.

Apples in the bag will ripen the tomatoes. My dad used to put the last of the green tomatoes each fall into a styrofoam cooler with a few apples and we would eat them up as they came ripe. I always thought they still had the sweetness of spring, but it was probably just the apple smell on them.

Can I just put the tomatoes in a brown bag without the avacado????

It might be time for some fried green tomatoes.

the only way i know or have done is to secure the tomatoes in a brown bag with a couple of unripened avacado. Seal and in a few days they will both be ripe.
