I have always...Are you expecting cold weather soon? I have always been under the impression that winter storage tomatoes are varieties that store well for the winter if they need to be picked early due to frost, but that can also be vine ripened normally. Is yours a variety that is best picked green and ripened indoors regardless of weather?<br /><br />In Catalonia, where I am originally from, the whole plant is pulled off the ground and then hanged from the rafters until the tomatoes are ripe. I mean, if you happen to have a barn with rafters, else, a bowl on the counter just like yours is the way to go.Angelahttp://growcookmake.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-42944538757841761022010-08-16T22:34:39.531-04:002010-08-16T22:34:39.531-04:00Robin, I just read your comment to Granny about MW...Robin, I just read your comment to Granny about MWC seeds.
