...ripen.
Earlier in the year I bought Mum two tomato plants. To begin with they didn't seem to do much and then they just went mad. The plants grew huge and they have been smothered in tomatoes.
Here are 6 I picked about 5 weeks ago...
...and they just don't seem to want to ripen...
...apart from the one on the end.
Anyone got any tips?.......................................................................

I don't know how true it is but I was told once that putting them in a dish with a banana will help them to ripen. Failing that there is always green tomato chutney! Anne x
Aren't you meant to put them on the window ledge/ mind you I may have got that totally wrong lol xx
Bananas do release a gas which assists with ripening.... I was going to suggest green tomato chutney too!!!
In a drawer or box with a ripe banana... the fruit releases ethelyne, but the gas needs to be trapped with it.
