Good morning check in before I leave for churhc.

NOW LETS HOPE THIS THREAD STAYS AWAY FROM FOOTBALL & CONCENTRATES ON MORE WEIGHTY MATTERS !!!!


Like, I have a question... If you pick tomatos & the are half ripe & want to ripen them on the window sill.. does it matter if the green part is up or down.?

I have had normally so many tomato plants that this isn't a consideration but now I have just a few in pots & it I leave them on the vine too long they burst.. & so I am tryng to pick them "half done" & ripen in kitchen.

Yes, I am a sorry biology & horticulture major, aren't I?

Hope you feel better soon, Molly!

Off to Maine for a few days to visit family. Brother is making lobster tonight. Hope he makes enough!
;)

Take care, everyone, and have a safe and blessed week.

Put them in the window with the stem UP but if you don't want to, do not put them in a window, on a shelf where they will get a air folw will be fine. The part of the tomatoe that is not ripe will be doing all the work, not the already rippen part.
