Yes. I often pick unripe fruit from my garden (tomatos at this time of the year) . If I am in a hurry to bring it on, I put it in a bag with a banana. len |

Tried green tomatoes, and ended up making green tomato chutney.... |

I used to pick fruit from my garden and ripen it indoors, tomatoes were usually lined up in the sun along the windowsill. I have had no luck whatsoever in trying to ripen Supermarket fruit. I reckon when the fruit is chilled it just stops developing and dies. |

It's probably because it's been irradiated and waxed to make it last longer and look nicer. |

I crunched my way through the final plum this morning. I bought them 2 weeks ago on a yellow ticket 'Quick sale', 6 for 19p. I've been waiting for them to soften a little, ever since, -but no. Gwyn |
