Green Tomato

Green tomatoes on a laundry rack.

This idea came from our neighbor friend, Margo who lived in Colorado, so she knows this little trick. She told me that if we hang tomatoes by the roots on in a garage, they would ripen. I already cut them all by the time she passed by, so mine don't have roots, but it seems working anyway. I just like looking at their colors changing everyday. Beautiful.

これ、コロラドに住んでいた事のある、ご近所さんのマーゴの知恵袋。

夏が短くて実らなかったトマトを根っこから引っこ抜いてガレージにさかさまにつるしておくと、実るのだそう。わたしのは根っこもありませんが毎日変化していくトマトたち。紅葉みたいで美しい。

I did this same thing in my basement food storage room and i haven't checked on them lately but some were rotting. I like how things are beautiful to you and mine are hidden in dark rooms and rotting. I did not leave the stem in tact but lay them on a jelly roll pan and they did ripen.
