How to Ripen Green Tomatoes off the Vine

- Just discovered how to ripen all of our green tomatoes off the vine. We planted our tomato plants a little too late and they never got a good chance to ripen but this method worked fast! All you need is a brown paper bag and a banana and you're set.

Thanks this is a very helpful and your girls are so cute! Glad you include them to help with family chores.
They got to work to eat, haha
Your my favorite ! I am addicted to your videos! Thank you Mike!
Thanks for the really nice comment, Barbara! I love making these videos for you guys.
Oh my goodness so cute!
Awesome tomatoes too!
Thanks, Marina! I think I'm going to be in trouble in a few years when they get into their teens.
Thanks girls I am going to try this absolutely amazing
Wow that’s so great! Thxs for the tip
Nice video Mike. I have lots of green tomatoes and gonna try this. I suspect the banana idea might be one of those, put WD-40 on for arthritis :) Bananas ripen quickly so of course it will help tomatoes ripen? You know the old story about mom cutting the end off a ham because it makes it taste better only to find out that Grandma did it because her pan was too small.
Funny you should mention that story. I tell it in this video: th-cam.com/video/SyDY0dXrCV0/w-d-xo.html
@@MikeKincaid79 Hi Mike., I watched the video and you told that story great. I think I got it from the book, "7 habits of highly successful people". Many years ago so I may be wrong, and it may have been the oven not the pan :) I also saw someone put apples in with green tomatoes. Does it really help or just bring in more fruit flies?
Bananas emit the harmless gas ethylene that facilitates ripening of immature produce. Apples do too, but to a lesser extent. Rotate the banana/apple out every few days and use it rather than letting it go to waste.
I love the team work happening ❤️
LOL
@@MikeKincaid79 Including you, having to have a dad moment 😂
Such a lovely video! Very helpful too :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks good video. And helpful, Also the kids seemed cute and polite, Plus helpful
Glad you enjoyed it, Malcolm, and thanks for watching!
Awesome dad!
Thanks Marina!
Awesome video. nice tasty tomatos 🍅 good work girls 👍 ☺
The girls say, "Thank you, Michelle!"
*Incredible now I don't have to waste my green tomatoes growing on the vine*
You sure don't
Now there's a tip I didn't know of before, thanks Girls !
They're happy to help, Reg!
Nice video
Un saludo amigo, gran video e aprendido algo nuevo lo del platano no me lo sabia y esos tomates han de estar deliciosos. Yo sembre tomates este año pero tube mala suerte con las plagas y no tube buena cosecha, pero no me desanimo porque igual que tu me encantan las plantas y trato de sembrar todo lo que puedo en mi pequeño patio, saludos de por aca.
¡Hey, gracias por el comentario! Los tomates saben muy bien y este pequeño truco realmente ayudó a madurar bien. Siento oír hablar de sus tomates. La buena noticia es que siempre hay el próximo año. Gracias por mirar y tener una caída y un invierno impresionantes!
Thank y'all, pulled 100+ cuz of freezing weather. Hope it works.
Blessings, julie
It definitely works, and good luck!
@@MikeKincaid79 awesome results. Thx for sharing
Most of my neighbors are tired of tomatoes. Ha! I could never be tired of them, growing some Siberian tomatoes, banana peppers, candy cane peppers and nadapeno peppers in my home. Doing well so far
Blessings, julie
I need to clear up some space for my winter garden so now I can pull most of my tomato plants which still have green fruit. With this technique, my wife and I can get these babies canned in one fell swoop. Thanks for the tip.
Awesome! It worked great as you could see. My wife made a ton of pico de gallo salsa with them.
Lol@ technical difficulties. That was great!! So, how did the tomatoes taste? Thanks for the great tip!!
Lol, they tasted great! Fresh from our own garden
Tell the girls their welcome ☺ looking forward to more videos
I'll do it!

Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box.
lmao, those little munchkins look like they're plotting something.
Sometimes they remind me of the twins on "The Shining" hahaha. They just stand there side by side staring at me.
Omg Forget the Tomatoes lol ! You're as Handsome as anything 😁🤣
LOL
Most helpful.. thank you! Perhaps the background music can be tiny bit quieter? Many thanks!
Thanks, I'll work on it.
Going to try that cause I am waiting for ever for them to ripe on the tree
It worked great
2019 - still have fruit on my vines. want to take off before frost.. still got a little time though.
Do ethylene ripener work?
Yes
@@MikeKincaid79 I have heard rumors that it might cause cancer.
I would fry those green tomatoes.
Never eaten fried green tomatoes but always wanted to try them. Maybe I need to get on that one.
Great idea but I have too many green tomatoes.
Nice looking tomatoes, what kind are they?
I'm not sure of the variety. My wife and I picked them up from a nursery way back in early spring and have long since lost track of the tags. If I can remember, I'll let you know. They sure are good though with a lot of flesh and not too much juice so they hold up nicely to chopping.
Hybrid for sure
Your tomatoes look perfect! Mine have a lot of cracks on them🤨
Sometimes, overwatering right before harvest will cause fruits to swell and split.
Hi Mindy, after harvesting my tomatoes I noticed most were full of cracks, I thought it was the type of tomato at first. The are ok but not nice and round like apples or Mike's tomatoes. I compared my nice ones to the bad ones and it appears as though dirt settled on the top of them over time (around the stem) and this caused them to grow around the dirt so to speak. I do not know if this is the reason (did not research this) but my tomatoes closer to the ground were worse. The ones on the ground were really bad also. I also noticed the young ones were perfect. Next year I will spray the tops of the tomatoes once in a while during development perhaps it will make a difference? I did landscaping and garden work near my tomatoes and I stirred up a lot of dust and dirt this summer.
@@ottawadrone5914 I think it might be the type of tomato! Last year I grew heirloom tomatoes and they all had cracks and were miss shaped. This year I took seeds from the vine ripe tomatoes at the grocery store, and they are all perfectly round with no cracks. There are 6 tomatoes per vine, but what IS weird is that after the 6 tomatoes are pollinated the fruit vine continues and makes a sucker on the end with more flowers?!? I don’t know if I should cut them off or leave them to see what happens? Usually the suckers grow in the v of the plant not on the actual fruit vine
@@parrotsandmore7446 Thanks parrot for your input. You may very be right as I do not have much experience as of yet growing tomatoes. The young ones I had close to the top of the vine were perfect. It was only when they got bigger did they crack. Next year I'm giong to try and different type and see if there is a difference.
I put pieces of banana peels with my cherry tomatoes.
I've heard of that. Does it work well?
@@MikeKincaid79 I don’t know yet because I just put cherry tomatoes in lunch sacks with pieces of banana peel yesterday. I am in Arizona so I thought since it is going to 112 today that I should probably pick most of my tomatoes 🍅 and I have one ☝🏽 enormous pumpkin 🎃 that I am going to pick soon too.
It's been 2 weeks, how did it turn out?
Mike, please help. My 4 tomatoes plants are eating by ants, I don’t use any chemicals only baby powder, they aren’t killed, they transfer to different locations. Any idea how to solve this problem.
Cinnamon will keep ants out. I'll have to make a video one of these days.
I’m sorry but tree huggers starve
Do the tomatoes taste like bananas?
Anyone know the science behind this - is it the moisture from the banana mixed with the lack of light and air?
The banana gives off a gas called ethylene and this gas helps the other fruit to ripen.
They always say to put an apple with your bananas to make bananas ripen faster. I wonder if putting an apple with the tomatoes will do the same trick.
As far as I know, they all give off ethylene so it should work.
I watched another video with same process but they put an apple in with them.
Apples and bananas are both high ethylene producers and ethylene causes ethylene sensitive fruits such as tomatoes and strawberries to ripen. Good if you are trying to ripen tomatoes, bad if they are already ripe and you are trying to save them.
@@jeremyzielinski2286 never tried strawberries just tomatoes...wish I would of known that
Saw you let one go too long.
Haha, a little bit.
Green tomaoss will turn red without locking them into a paper bag with banana,
They'll do it faster in a bag
@@MikeKincaid79
That s right, yes it will.
why would you cut the good part out with the kids grabbing the camera man and take him down buckling his knees and his eyes pulled out and loss of hair dang i missed that part lolol
Hahahaha
Sadly doesn't work :(
What do you mean it doesn't work? I showed it on video, lol. I guess seeing is not believing.
@@MikeKincaid79 I did it ond there still green.. Disaster
@@MikeKincaid79 im gonna try again ive tonnes of green tomatoes
This absolutely did not work. It didn't even start the ripening process after 6 days.
It absolutely did work, lol. I've got the proof right here in this video.
