Joyce: First off, I'm with Don O. Send the tomatoes to me and they won't have time to ripen LOL. Specially since I'm getting a few pods of okra lately too. Seriously, place them in a Kraft PAPER bag and then put them in a cool, dark place and they will ripen. If you add one of those apples, or a banana to the bag of tomatoes, they will ripen even faster because the apple or banana puts out more CO2 I think it is, which speeds the ripening process. HTH, Chuck

Do they really ripen inside? Any hints on how to hasten this process without them going rotten? Heard the honking of geese and saw 11 nice ones, in formation, flying overhead. Guess that fall is really here. Joyce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
