Last year I seemed to ripen most of mine on the windowsill, but I still had some that wouln't turn, so, I made "fried green tomatoes" after watching several Southern Belles on YouTube!!
When you reach the point of despair with the green tomatoes, pick them, pop them in a paper bag or a drawer along with a ripe one, and leave them for a while, until they get the message and ripen too.
That is my prayer too. They've been so slow to ripen this year and I am becoming impatient. Fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteLove that last tomato picture, ripening tomato-ness encapsulated ... I can practically smell them!

ReplyDeleteIts taking along while this year, isn't it. We have one red one so far. Maybe myself and OH can have half each.
ReplyDeleteChutney is the way, I feel.
You have quite an eye for those tomatoes! That last photo is like watching "follow the leader".
ReplyDeleteWe aren't doing too bad here with the tomato ripening. You have chosen one of my favourite films there........ the carpark scene is such a classic!
