Ripen By Force

After seeing my green tomatoes stay green on the plant for weeks, I decided to try something different… forcing them to ripen by use of ethylene gas! That’s right, I put all the cherry tomatoes in a bag and locked them away with a banana which emits the gas to ripen itself and anything around it.
