What is the latest great idea for ripening green tomatoes?



There is none except ethylene gas. Usually, green tomatoes are placed in

a bag with bananas, which give off ethylene gas as they ripen, and they

will ripen, so to speak, the tomatoes. Don't expect vine ripe flavor.



If the tomatoes are showing some color, you might put them on news

paper, on a window ledge, not touching. Invoking the aid of some deity

may help also, at least to sooth your mind.




I tried a banana, but didn't seem to do much. After few days, got hungry for a banana so had to take it out of the paper bag and eat part... Some tomatoes are redding, a decent looking couple.
