The gardening guru has explained the science behind the tip that can speed the ripening process.
As the growing season winds down, gardeners left with unripe tomatoes can speed things along with one trick shared by Monty Don.
As reported by the Express, Monty explained: “Tomatoes ripen best when the temperature is between 26 and 30 degrees so this summer was too hot for many of them - especially if grown under glass and meant that many stayed green much longer than in a cooler summer. In fact, commercial tomato growers commonly pick tomatoes while they're still underripe because the green tomatoes will continue to ripen during shipping. When growing and harvesting underripe tomatoes from your own tomato plants at home, look for green fruits with spots of light red on the blossom end and tomatoes that have a slight give to them when squeezed.
