With the cold weather comming... we picked everything out of the garden over the week-end. There were still alot of tomatoes!!! I wish I had kept track of how many bushels we had picked this year, it was a LOT!!
 |
| So it looks like I have a little bit of work to do with the ripe tomatoes, but today I wanted to share with you something I learned from my Dad. He would pick the GREEN tomatoes too! |
 |
| He would take the green tomatoes-- wrap them in newspaper and place them in a box. They will ripen, and taste just like vine picked tomatoes. We keep ours in the 4th level where it's a little cooler. Then you can unwrap one or two every couple of days and enjoy garden fresh tomatoes for weeks after they have been picked. |
