How To Ripen Green Tomatoes Indoors

Yes, it is a lot of fun growing tomatoes, and having a garden full of them. What is not fun is when the season starts to wind down and you still have plenty of green tomatoes. Of course you could can your green tomatoes, but you can also ripen your green tomatoes indoors.

The really good part, is you do not need any special equipment to ripen your tomatoes. Actually you only need two other things, besides your green tomatoes. Oh and you will need a little patience, while you wait for your ripened tomatoes.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • green tomatoes
  • old newspaper
  • cardboard box

Make sure that you pick green tomatoes that are starting to yellow a little. They should also have a short stem attached to them, which will help when they start to ripen. Leave the really green tomatoes on the plant for a few extra days, before picking them off.

Wrap your green tomatoes in newspaper, and lay them in one single layer in the cardboard box. Place this box in a cool area in your room and wait for your tomatoes to ripen. Now you will be able to enjoy fresh ripe tomatoes, a little longer. Yippee!
