Ripening green tomatoes the easier way



Nothing beats the taste of freshly picked ripe tomatoes.I like my tomatoes fresh from the garden.The feeling that comes with eating the fresh ripe tomato is  a feeling I cant trade anything with.However, as the  temperatures  drop, there are  lots of green tomatoes left on the plants that take 'decades and centuries' to ripen in time.This always tests the farmer's patience and at times farmers like me tend to rely on the "Good things come to those who wait"  quote but at end of it many get frustated.But thanks to a little hack,farmers will wait no longer.


  Here is a simple hack that will really come in handy.
*Place a green tomato next to a  ripe banana or rather  place 5 green tomatoes in a jar contain a ripe banana and tightly seal it,Keep checking on the tomatoes on a daily basis. The tomato will ripen due to the ethylene gas produced by the banana.



VOILA!!!
