Thank Celt - that sounds a lot easier than the way I had heard about. I wish I had known about all this last year, when I was left with most of my crop as green balls of disappointment.

Permie, The dining room works, too. Every year, I go out and get the green tomatoes at the end of September and lay them in shallow cardboard fruit flats, one or two layers thick. Line the flat with newspaper and put more newspaper between the layers and over top. Check every few days and pull out the ones that are starting to turn color to ripen up on the counter. They aren't as sweet as the vine ripened tomatoes, but they make great sauce. It's possible to have fresh tomatoes into December.…

I was listening to The Self Sufficient Homestead podcast today (might have been an old episode) and they mentioned that you can pick all the green tomatoes just before the first frost and wrap them individually in newspaper and put them in a cool, dark area. You then check them every 3 or so days for ripeness. Not sure if it would work or not. I will be trying this I am sure. Only a fraction of my many tomatoes have ripened so far.

Hey Celt1 Sure wish I lived closer! I would come over whenever I smelled some of your recipees, or you needed a help in the garden!<br />
I've got chive seeds in the garden, but I need to remember to catch them before they fall and while they are dry for your seed project!
