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.
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.
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.
