When the leaves turn color, it is time to pull up the tomato plants. Today we are pulling our grape/plum size tomato plants for sale. And those plants only. You can hang them and pick the fruit as it ripens. These plants are $5 each - quite a deal. Here is a picture to help you understand the size of the tomato.
You can either:
* Pick all the tomatoes off the plant and make green salsa!
* Pickle the small unripe tomatoes;
* Pick all the tomatoes off the plant and let them ripen on
your window sill; or
* Hang the entire plant upside down and let the tomatoes
ripen.
Hanging the plant upside down is supposed to help all the
nutrients finish making their way to the tomatoes.
In addition, the tomatoes need good airflow
as they ripen and hanging assists in this cause.
Some are of the school that the leaves should be removed,
probably for better airflow. Others
believe the leaves should remain.
Further, some say to hang them in a dark room. We hang them wherever we can and leave the
leaves! You decide.
