Tomatoes in February?
As fall wore on, I was enchanted that my volunteer tomato plants were still producing prolifically! I had 30 tomatoes on the vines all the time. Aside from the plants looking a little sad from the Tomato Hornworms I have yet to find, they’re doing remarkably well. If I picked several tomatoes, poof, a few more would appear. It was great! That was then, this is now. And now it’s just silly! I have loads of green tomatoes in February. The only problem is, that they aren’t ripening. I even put them in a brown paper sack which I know from experience will lead to ripe, red tomatoes in a few days. Well, as time has gone on, a few ripen and the rest rot while staying green. The couple that ripen surprisingly taste just like the winter tomatoes in the grocery store…cardboard! I was shocked. I was going to just leave them in till spring but I guess they’ll be coming out very shortly.
