Great info! Love how you teach not just gardening but, what to do with your fruit & veggies after you harvest it. Very helpful for new gardeners like myself.
I'm going to have to get this done Saturday. We have frost on the way this weekend and I need to save those tomatoes!!
*Best idea on CZcams*
Fabulous information!
Glad it was helpful!
Good video. I've got bushells of not ripe tomato. We had heavy frost warning and I picked till midnight. Most I piled on a tarp in my shed and the rest in three kiddy pools with a tarp on top. I already had about 5 bushells inside. i put them out at a stand for sale a bushel or two at a time. Leave for several days. If they dont sell i bag them and freeze them and replace with a new bushel at the stand. I have these wooden boxes I've started putting greener ones. On newspaper between each layer. Greener on the bottom , riper near the top. Four to five layers. The first was packed a couple weeks ago 9/20 or so. I've been to busy to check as I'm still packing more as the tarp tomatos ripen , but while i inspected closely there will some going bad. I did not remove stems either. I'll try to get back with you'all on what happens. Cheers
Great information.
Thanks for watching!
Great, thanks. In the south, we will pick all of the tomatoes and make Green Tomato Ketchup (Relish). And of course, we will fry some for supper.
Something I've yet to try. I guess I should!! We are going to have plenty this year. I think we will have frost tonight.
Thanks!🍅🍅🍅
You are very welcome!!
Thank you.
You're welcome!!
Great video. I live on Catoctin Mountain in Maryland and the tree cover + elevation makes the growing zone closer to Massachusetts. Every Sept/Oct we have tons of green tomatoes left over so I'm going to try this method. Thanks man!
😊 thank you for this great video ..
You are so welcome!
Thank you for all the great information. The idea of wrapping them in paper was a thought that I did not like. 3 separate boxes sounds much easier and monitor them weekly. I can do this.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, It would be nice if you would say what state or zone you are in. That helps people with their gardening.
I am wondering how cold the garage can get before it's too cold? I live in Zone 4 and my garage can get pretty cold overnight. I'm wondering if my cellar in my basement would work?
You don't want them to freeze, so if your garage gets that cold I would opt for the cellar.
@@StoneyAcresGardening thanks!
What did you end up doing? I am also in zone 4.
Was going to ask same thing
Can I do the same thing with cherry tomatoes?
Yes, my experience is fewer will ripen. But many still will. They won't taste nearly as good as vine ripen though.
But how do keep them from getting soft and mushy from being so for from harvest?
Which country are you based out of? I'm in Canada 🇨🇦
USA, we live in Utah.
So this wont work with cherry tomatoes?
I honestly have never tried it with Cherry tomatoes. Give it a try this year and let me know if it works!!
It does. I’m doing it right now and they are ripening on my window sill.
whers is the proof?
5:18 can you put them in an egg crate?
I guess, but I don't usually keep the smaller ones that would fit in a egg crate. The bigger more developed fruit have the best chance of ripening.
Thats why my green cherries aren't ripening@@StoneyAcresGardening
Doesn't matter what you do or don't they will all turn red its not rocket science
