In Virginia, it is feeling like winter. We have already had our first frost. This means that the few tomato plants that were hanging on are done and it is time to put the garden to bed for winter.
So, what do you do with the green tomatoes still clinging to your plants when the temperatures drop and Jack Frost threatens to make his seasonal debut? Pick them!
Green tomatoes will ripen for you inside. Granted, they will not taste as mouth-watering as your vine-ripened summer beauties, but they can still be enjoyed.
Here are some pictures of my final pick.
Hint: Place your green tomatoes stem side down to ripen on a paper towel.
If you do not want to wait for them to ripen, you could try fried green tomatoes or green tomato relish.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you will enjoy your winter harvest.
