g'day ben,

gald to be of some help as all the others will be.

the ultimate is to leave them on the vine until they are well ripe and
pick early in the morning, but i have things that are atracted to nice
vine ripened tomatoes as i am they are colled rodents, along with the
fig brids, black faced cuckoos and king parrots.

yes a ripening apple will work as will a ripening tomato we pick early
then put them onto trays on a cloth and cover with a tea towel to keep
teh gasses in, it works and the flavour will leave any bought fruit
hands down.
