My Mum tried ripening tomatoes with a banana in a paper bag - she read about
it somewhere... however, it didn't work! So she's gone back to her usual
technique of shoving them in a bowl on the kitchen window!!

Has anyone actually tried any of these 'ripening off the plant'
techniques,
like putting green tomatoes in a drawer with a ripe banana and hey presto
they're ripe. Or in a warm room (ha-ha in this house). I'm trying the
first but they've been in there for about three weeks with no sign of any
ripening. Hardly any ripened on the plant so I've chopped them all down
today (no chance now that the frosts and snow are here) and have a lovely
harvest of green tomatoes, but that wasn't the original plan. I'd just
like
a sanity check.
