Subject: RE: BS: Green tomatoes
That right, SRS.

Once the tomatoes are light orange or yellow they will ripen inside (although I find they ripen better away from the light). They turn a nice dark red. The trick is to pick them with a bit of the stem attached. My uncle says they have all of their flavour when yellow and that if you pick them at that time, the others have a better chance of ripening.

Works for me. I always have lots of tomatoes and they are very sweet.
