And how do I keep my ripe tomatoes fresh so as to not use them and wait for the others to ripen for a bigger harvest?

    Tomatoes produce ethylene gas as they ripen which actually helps nearby tomatoes ripen too, so you can put your almost-ripe ones in a paper bag with a ripe banana to speed up the proces!

      I guess that makes the most sense, there’s a big bunch that seems to be growing at the same time at the moment. But if I’ve grown impatient I’ll try the paper bag trick
