Remember the Green Tomatoes?
After packing up in four cardboard boxes the gazillion green tomatoes from the dozen plants in the hoop house in Oregon, we headed south taking nearly a week to get home. We unpacked the trailer and about three days later I thought I'd better do something with those green tomatoes. So I opened up the boxes to estimate how many pounds I had to deal with . . . To my amazement this is what I discovered!
I never imagined they'd start to ripen in the dark! Was I ever excited to even think I'd be havin' some of our own home-grown tomatoes, red tomatoes. Each day I peek into the boxes and pick out the ripe ones. I currently have about fifteen red tomatoes in the fridge (plus we've probably eaten a dozen already . . . they're on the smallish side, but they're delicious).
The larger ones in the picture are about four inches in diameter!
Life is good!

Yay, you have red tomatoes! I am happy for you. They will taste fresher if you don't refrigerate them. Just keep them in a cool place.
Farmer Jen,
Thanks for the tip! It's just that when one lives in a confined space, the fridge seemed like a good idea since my counter space is limited. But I'll take your advice because I want these to taste the best they can.
