Pick the green tomatoes, put them in a paper bag along with some
of the branches and leaves that you have cut off of your
(now defunct) tomato plants. Fold over the top of the bag(s)
and place in a cool - but not cold - place. Wait a month or so -
but check them regularly for ripeness or the beginning of rot.
If they start to rot, toss 'em.
The drying/decaying plant material will emit some ethylene gas
which will take cause the green tomatoes to get somewhat ripe.
Vine-ripened tomatoes are obviously better - but these bag-ripened
ones are better than green tomatoes.
I personally do not care for green tomatoes.
The local deer DO, of course - but they have had ENOUGH
already for one year!
