How to get those green tomatoes to ripen!

The growing season is coming to close. Yet none of us wants to fill our basements or closets with green tomatoes, right? It’s a topic of great interest to gardeners these days because they’re frustrated and watching the days zip by.

As you might already know, I’ve been filming short videos on how to get your green tomatoes to ripen, because it works best when you do it in stages.

My methods involve pruning tomato plants late in the season. That way, the plants will focus their energy on ripening green tomatoes, rather than blooming.

Here is the third in my series of videos about this topic, which covers the last few things you should try:

And just in case you missed the first two videos, here they are:

Video #1: How to Prune Back Tomatoes (usually done in early August)

Video #2: How to prune tomato plants to ripen tomatoes (late August)

I hope all of these videos are helpful to you. I’d love to hear how these methods worked. Just drop me a line at Susan@susansinthegarden.com. Happy gardening to you all!
