Alis girls Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I thought I was being clever having read about ripeneing tomatoes on vine, but silly moo here has cut them off and hung them in garage on stalks. I then checked google after and found you should hang whole plant. As usual we have loads of green ones so green tom chutney is a possibility also green tom soup. Won't tell OH - but they were raised and nutured by moi so he cant complain. Well he can and will but I won't tell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 put them in a bag with a banana, that will ripen them nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I shouldn't think it will make any difference. It's just easier hanging up one plant than four trusses. I have loads of greenies as well. You don't HAVE to make chutney with every one. Fried Green tomatoes are heavenly ............ yum yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Update - ripening faster than I can. We've had roasted tomato soup, salads you name it we've had it. So not for next year to ripen off in garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well done! Can someone give me step by step instructions to tomato growing next year please. I have no luck whatsoever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I couldnt begin to advise you as some yrs I have failed miserably others like this - have had a blip and done well. Pick off side leaves and feed feed feed is my advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
