- If you've had to harvest your tomatoes a little early, here's the method we use to keep ripening those tomatoes (sometimes until December!). This is a great way to extend your tomato harvest. Fresh marinara in November? Yes please!
It is also a good way to handle an early frost in the garden (or just a short growing season).

Roasting them... what a great idea I would have never thought of. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.
Great info, thank you! I have been watching all of your videos starting with the oldest up to this one.
Thank you, I was wondering about the fermenting of these and you answered my question. :) I had a wonderful time canning with my daughter-in-laws last week. We taste tested some tomatoes I was fermenting. "The lowly tomato has risen above all other fruit and vegetables!" Kristen declared!!!
Try pickled green tomatoes! Here in Arkansas those are a delicacy... Try them with fried fish or beans
Green tomato pickles are really good. Also chutneys, picallilies, etc, and there's always fried green tomatoes!
I'm just starting new plants here in FL. I hope they don't go crazy like they did before, I had 15 foot tomato plants... ha it was quite funny. I only had a mix of black cow, peat and bag soil ( anything will grow in that ) because of the terrible soil here. I'm going to have to stop them from growing so high.
I hope you all stay warm and healthy. When you did the last video you were making chicken soup it sounded so good I made some too : )
I received my herbs and elderberries yesterday, time to get back to my class. I've got to watch it time and time again, so glad it's a lifetime class I will need a lifetime to learn .
As always Ty
Love the info.. very pertinent for what I'm looking for.. presentation is different.. kinda like Martha Stewart teaching a 2nd grade class...
Like your vlog, I know its a lot of work but we wrap each tomato with news paper. This keeps them from touching so they don't spread anything that might have a disease or the like. That way by going through the tomatoes weekly, I find the bad ones leaving dtains on the paper, and even have had some last till February and once had some last til March. The small green ones i use once they ripen make salsas and other tomato mixes.
Put the greenest ones on the bottom..then the riper ones in top.. It's easier to check..
Just a tip you could alway make Green Tomato Mincemeat out of these I have my grandma's recipe. If you would like it. Awesome
Thanks for the tip
Ferment green tomatoes cut in chunks salt pickle spice garlic and a hot pepper. Yum. I put pickle spice in little cotton bag to stop floating
Thank you I learned lots
My mom made green 🍅 tomato pie! So delicious. Look up the recipe and try it. It's a Autumn harvest favorite in my family.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIPS ON USING GREEN TOMATOES, HAVE A GREAT DAY
This is just the video I needed! Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVISE. EXPERIENCE LENDS HELP TO THOSE WHO WILL BE HELPFUL TO THEM. HOW KIND YOU ARE.
I always put my tomatoes in a brown paper bag and they rippen just fine.
In the south, we made Green Tomato Catsup
We usually pickle them as they are and yummy!
Green Tomato Pie ;-) So good
Mock apple pie with green tomatoes is a great use for the tomatoes.
I am amazed this is a person who had been through 9 pregnancies... wow.... she looks so healthy
Wow, I didn’t know that she has 9 children! She looks amazing!
Ten children
Thank you
Put bananas in with them,they will ripen quickly.Theres a reason why bananas are a bad omen on boats,this is the reason.
Wow, I always wondered why they were supposedly bad luck!
Apples also ripen other veggies because of the gases they emit as they ripen and rot...
We are in Northern Nevada and experiencing the same weather. We put a banana in our box and they are turning nicely.
We make green tomato jam with our greenies
Thank you for sharing! What are your favorite varieties to grow?
I always put the more ripe on the top the row
*Gud...* 😊😊😊
You can also you an apple in a brown paper bag to ripen them. The levels of ethylene gas hep riped the tomatoes.
I'm going to try this. I'm fermenting all my chili's could I have done this with them? I'm also in N. Idaho and this has ruined my chili's and my cherry tomatoes so I'm fermenting all to see what I get.
I use a 50 50 mix of water and 3% hydrogen peroxide on a cloth to wipe them off first. Not too wet, wrong it out. It helps keep bacteria at bay, and also, sometimes there could be worm eggs on the outside that can be removed. They're barely visible to the naked eye.
I did not hear and not was mentioned where to store this box of tomatoes until they ripen? On the floor in the house? A cold garage bench or floor? Please help as I will need to do this. My weather here went from 80 to 50 something in 1 day and has been cold and rainy ever since. All the tomatoes on the vine are green and flowering also to struggle to grow the tomatoes I should have gotten through the end of October like 2 years ago. :(
Every 18°F drop in open air temperature doubles storage time. This doesn't work for refrigerators. IMO, just use them when it nears 50. Disinfecting the fruit first helps, along with the container.
Back where we come from...we don't ripen green tomatoes, we soak them in buttermilk, dress them in cornmeal and fry them suckers up...
You can make pickle relish from them...no one knows it is not cucumbers.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it next year. Our tomato growing season is short here up north.
As you mentioned, you can make green tomato salsa: th-cam.com/video/cVbl3gZdHHo/w-d-xo.html
