Frost forecast, and green tomatoes still outside
"Spider" wrote in message
...
I suggest you harvest your tomatoes and put them in a drawer/box with a
banana. The ethylene (sp?) gas given off by the bananas will encourage
the
tomatoes to ripen. If you leave them outside 'on the vine' in wet weather
you are risking blight.
I didn't see the OP but I bring in green tomatoes along with the ripe ones
and leave them in a basket in the kitchen - no special treatment.
In time they all ripen, we usually eat the last on Christmas Eve with the
pork pie.
