  • They do make great Green Tom chuntney and if you don't have enough you can always use apple as well to make the amount up. It's great with cheese and various meats and lasts for ages. At the little toms would not go to waste.

    Eat some bananas and hang the skins on the branches of the tomato plants. Sounds nutty, I know, but the potassium ripens the tomatoes!

    My Grandad used to take them off and put them in an airing cupboard though, that always worked.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    When I was young my mum always had green tomatoes on the window sills. She said something about the moon/nighttime turning them red.

    I was young, she could have lied.
