Tomatoes Taste Best Right Off The Vine! As fall approaches, the nights get colder and in certain regions, our Tomatoes reaalllllyyyy begin to slow down their ripening. This is unfortunate because Tomatoes really do taste best when picked right off the plant fresh.
Fortunately, I have 6 unique ways that you can speed up Tomato ripening for your fruit still remaining on the vine, ensuring that you get to enjoy your crop’s full potential!

That was really good, I learned a few things.
Do you have any tips or a video on organic tomatoes that have those splits/cracks? Mine don’t necessarily go all the way through to crack but they have circles of a brown line.
Thanks for the great video.
What I like to do is pick some while they're still green and pickle 'em in a vinegary brine with a clove of garlic, black pepper, mustard and coriander seeds and some dried hot paprika(crushed, not ground), basically just applying the roman military concept of 'decimatio'.
I think it motivates the others to try harder.
Seriously though, properly prepared, green tomatoes are actually a delicacy in some parts of Europe. If you like your sandwiches/hamburgers/hotdogs with some sour cucumbers, you'll absolutely love them with a few slices of spicy hot green tomatoes.
I like it alright, but I know of people whose faces light up like a Christmas tree at the mere mention of it.
Thank you for another wonderful video with excellent tips on how to get the most out of our already hard work. I'm sure I'm not your only viewer from the Pacific NorthWest who is trapped inside their home waiting for the dangerous air quality to reduce so that we can get outside and take care of our gardens. It has been days since I could safely go outside to tend to my plants and it really breaks my heart looking at the garden from the safety of my house. More importantly, are the first responders who are battling these devastating wildfires and risking their lives to protect people and property. I look forward to getting outside again once we've had rain to clean our air and protect our forests. I'm sure there are others in the same spot.
I have lots of ripening tomatoes on my plants on the south side of my house but the leaves are covered in mildew. Even the stems are starting to mildew. Will this affect the fruit? Do I need to pick all of them including the green ones if I want them to be edible? The fruit is currently beautiful and healthy. If I take off all the mildew leaves, the plants will be naked!!! BTW, I live on southern Van. Isle.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. There is so much to learn! I watched all your garlic videos. I plan to plant some once I build the cedar containers. Can I use grocery store garlic buds?
I didn't do any of these things last year. We got our first frost around September 26 and right before that date, I pulled all the green tomatoes off and put them in a brown paper bag. They were all smaller than the fruit that I had already harvested during the season; but, they all ripened in the bag. Then I sliced them and put them in the dehydrator.
Good video for those who grow outdoors!
I FEW TOMATOS BUT ALSO SWEET PEPPERS
Great tips! I needed this!
Just in time my tomatos were planted late as I was gone for a week I usually plant them in early February and sprouts mid February but this year it was mid March and sprouted late March
Thanks for the reminder Jeff! I need to prune my tomatoes to speed them up. We're only 30-45 days to frost and still have hundreds of green ones on the vine
Saw this video come up the other day but didn’t get a chance to watch it. I actually did all those things to my tomatoe plants today but I was guessing about it. Seemed it would reduce using the plants energy on things not needed right now. Funny, as I was working with the plants I kept thinking I need to watch this video to see your tips. Glad you reaffirmed all that work wasn’t for nothing lol. I was also thinking as soon as any of the tomatoes started to turn, I will take it off and into the house to finish ripening. Then more energy could go to ripening others. What I was not sure of was how many leaves I should leave on the plant. I did want to compromise the plant getting its energy. What is your thoughts on this? How many leaves to leave to not compromise the ripening? Thanks!
I am running out right now, shears in hand, to do my duty as a diligent gardener.
Did I mention I love you? You have shared so many great methods and tips with all of us, you are a fantastically generous man. Thank you so much : )
Bravo! Excellent video.
Most videos show sucker removal by fingers but I use small scissors. Would a sharp cut be a problem?
What do you do if you want to keep all or most of your tomatoes that are already ripe and picked and save them for when the rest are ready so you can cook them all at once for stuff like salsa
Wow… It is nice…
beef steak tomato plant toppled over and the main steam snapped in half. should I just pick the green tomatos or do I have other options ?
Very helpful thank you
