Re: Last Tomatoes
The key to figuring out whether a late-ripening tomato will ever turn red
consists in turning the fruit upside down and checking the end opposite the
stem. If you see a whitish five-pointed star radiating out from the
center, that individual fruit has passed the point of no return. It WILL
ripen indoors off the vine.
No whitish star shape? That fruit will NOT ripen later.
Depending on your first-frost timing, now might be a good time to harvest
all remaining greenies. Set the ones with stars aside indoors out of
direct sunlight and not touching one another and wait. Fry up the
all-greenies in a pan for a side dish with supper.
