An outside the box solution is to harvest them green and enjoy them that

mmmm. Or boil them and puree them into soup.

No matter how long and warm the summer there always seem to be a bunch of
green ones that aren't going to ripen before the first frost. I used to
write these off every year, but last year I thought, "Hey -- wasn't there a
movie called 'Fried Green Tomatoes'?" So I went online looking for green
tomato recipes. There are loads of them! I had never had a green tomato
before -- I can't believe I was missing such a treat for all those years.
They don't taste anything like ripe tomatoes -- they have a flavor all their
own.

we are getting close to freezing at night now, & my tomatoes
are still quite green. i'm looking for ideas, other than
tossing sheets over them at night, to get them through to
ripening.



They are also good in chutney.
