Rhonda at Down-to-Earth blog picks her tomatoes green and ripens them inside so I am going to experiment and do just that.
I have noticed a little green stink-bug type looking thing on them lately which has me most concerned so I need to go and look up on the internet what he might be up to on my tomatoes. I've go my suspicions it's not anything good!
I am very impressed with these bush tomatoes - each plant has at least 30 tomatoes on them so I should end up with a minimum of about 180 tomatoes! Yay. We love tomatoes - DD's eat them for snacks. They are just the Sunnyvale First Prize tomatoes and I will be definitely be growing these again (as long as they taste good of course!)
Now off to do some research on those bugs....

Umm watch out for "Stings" on your tomatoes (just a very small puncture mark)....Stink bugs sting them and inject some yuckky stuff in them and a beautiful looking tomato on the outside can be full of creepy crawlies when you cut it open. As a rule of thumb, try avoid bugs on the fruit, bugs on flowers are good, but bugs on fruit isnt.

Ewwwww!! I have found some with small holes but I had thrown them out not wanting to know what was inside LOL. I will be extra wary now thanks. I have been getting rid of the bugs as I see them but fortunately I haven't seen too many. Thanks again!
