Q&A - How do I keep my picked tomatoes from ripening as fast?
Question:
How do I keep my picked tomatoes from ripening as fast?
Answer:
Right before the first frost you can pick the green tomatoes off your plants and let them ripen on the counter. But what do you do if you have too many ripening at once? Tomato expert and owner of Tomato Baby Company, Alainia Hagerty says you can speed up ripening, but you can’t slow it down. She also says if you have too many ripe at the same time you can just put them in the freezer. The tomato’s skin makes a nice seal and then you can use them in cooking through the winter.
