I hang them up in bunches on a length of string across the kitchen
window.

Put them in a drawer/box with a ripe Banana. The gas given off by the Banana
will do the job.

I find that keeping them with their ripening peers "on the vine" works well.

Yes, just in a basket on the counter. They don't need bananas or apples or
sun or heat. Just keep picking them over daily and removing the ripe ones as
you want to use them.

Mine are still on the plants in the greenhouse, when they stop ripening
there I'll cut off the vines and bring them indoors - so that I don't have
to go down the garden every time I want a tomato or two.

Mary

Many thanks one and all

Stick them in a bowl on top of a layer of ripe ones.
Seems to works for me.

Never bother myself, I just turn them into green tomato chutney. :-)

My late mother used to wrap them individually in newspaper and put them in a
drawer. She still had a few to eat on Christmas Day.

One of my delights on Christmas morning is to go out into the garden and
dig up a biscuit tin that I had buried in July full of new potatoes stored
in dry peat. Beats your roasties any day :-)
