That tomatoes were longer and better

Proper ripening - the increase and preservation of the crop.

Some leave the tomatoes ripening on the bush, so say that tastes better. And I do not. Differences in taste, I never noticed between those that are ripe on the vines and those that have matured in the room. But this, if you have provided the necessary conditions for maturation.

I pick tomatoes still green, and not waiting until they become much larger. In my opinion, large tomatoes lose the taste, fine tasty. If you collect tomatoes before the beginning of ripening, ie. E. before long begin to blush, you can even increase productivity. Bushes increase tying and accelerate this process by trying to catch the seeds.

The fact is that the smell of tomato can be stronger and more intense when ripe on the branches, but what if they mature at times, not when I'm ready to eat all or roll for the winter. And in the fall it would be desirable as long as possible to enjoy the fresh taste of slow-ripening fruit. It remains to create conditions for proper storage.

I describe the conditions for the delay ripening or different ripening. If you need to speed up the other way around in the autumn turning red tomato, do exactly the opposite.

Store tomatoes should be in one layer on wooden shelves, boxes and so on. provided humidity of 80%. The lack of light as delaying ripening, but it is important not to forget about airing room or drawer in which lay the tomatoes. Be sure to make sure that if there are any among green tomatoes, which started in some places to get a red or yellow color. They always need to sort out and clean up in a separate box in order to avoid "contamination" of the ripening process.

Incidentally, sunlight and at least one ripe red or yellow Pomidorka heap able to accelerate the ripening of all. Even experienced Summer Resident-hostess advised me to put a banana and red apples and pears, they allegedly emit a gas that is precisely the effect on the acceleration of ripening tomato. So I honestly have not tried, because red tomato and so is always full, the problem mainly in the maturation delay.

Thank you in advance for the Huskies;)
