These are the last tomatoes in the garden. We have to harvest them prematurely now as the cold autumn air is starting to kill them. Hopefully we can ripen it indoors off the vine. Now searching online tips on how.
It was fun cultivating them and it kept me sane when I was off sick for 6 weeks. I can't wait to do it again next year.

I have not had tomatoes in our garden for quite a while. They look good.

@allknowing I feel like if I were to redo my life I would love to be a full time gardener than a nurse.

Nice. My mom would love to have even just a little garden in our apartment but there is no way.

They are lovely tomatoes. I remember our last harvests in Latvia, Always had something still to use, We ripened out last tomatoes by wrapping them up in newspaper pages and storing them at room temperature, I found this on the net
To ripen green tomatoes, you can wrap them individually in newspaper and store them at room temperature Alternatively, you can put the unripe tomatoes in a paper bag, close it up, and store it in a warm location. The idea is to trap ethylene gas to speed up ripening. Make sure to check your tomatoes often.
