My first season is over, and i made a lot of mistakes… for one, I transplanted most of my plants in late June when my last frost is May 5th, so my plants were basically two months behind… plus, i had gotten plain topsoil from home improvement store which probably stunted everything since they were relying on whatever fertilizer i gave them and the soil retained basically no water. Next year I’m gonna splurge on more soil, more beds…. i’m excited but it’s gonna be expensive for sure.

Paper bag with an apple. They’ll be ripe in no time.

* I just keep taking the red ones for dinner. Most have ripened over a few weeks.

I’m in the same boat! I am going to leave them on the counter for a week or so to see if any of them ripen and then I plan on making green tomato jam! I’ve never had it but it sounds great lol

Put the big ones on a counter indoors and watch them ripen. Unless they are extremely immature (none of them look to be), they’ll color up and be fine. I love fried green tomatoes, but I make them only when I’ve had a big glut of ripe ones, and especially if the rest are unlikely to ripen off the vine.

You can wrap the large ones in newspaper and set them aside in a cool (not cold!) dark place. They won’t turn bright summer red but they will ripen into a reddish color with a decent flavor.

I was in the same boat in Arkansas a few years ago . I looked up what the heck to do with green tomatoes, and found recipe for chow-chow which is like a southern relish, and I have been making it since I started gardening five years ago at the end of summer…in my uneducated opinion having moved from California to the mid south? It’s basically sweet pickle relish. however with the cabbage and the onions and the other additions it really is delicious and people love it around here.

This was my starting harvest and now I’m down to a small plate of greens after ripening them indoors and turning to tomato sauce
