My friend S gave me these green tomatoes she was forced to pick from her garden due to danger of frost a few weeks ago. She said they would ripen if I kept them in a sunny spot. I considered planting tomatoes for myself next year but in our weather it is an annual plant, I prefer planting perennials. Oregano herbs and tarragon herbs are perennials, not basil.

I hope your tomatoes will ripen soon! Hugs, Valerie
Looks healthy and organic
or make fried green tomatoes :-))
Tomatoes are tricky here. Some people have better spaces where they grow. We don't have that..and a ton of critters seem to hang out in our backyard too. So something eats them before we do. Lovely green tomatoes!
Very thoughtful gift from your friend. Tomatoes are a favorite with us.
That was kind of your neighbor.
I prefer perennials also.
Bellissimi green tomatoes di varie forme, sembra un quadro.
Time for fried green tomatoes.
I always wonder how commercial farms deal with frosts
If they don't ripen just slice the green tomatoes thinly and fry them up in a bit of olive oil ... quite yummy :)
All the best Jan
Lindos tomates. Te mando un beso.
Wasn't there a movie called Fried Green Tomatoes? I wonder what that's like.
Even if they are annuals, you should give them a try. You can't go wrong with the harvest-smile. Enjoy.
I considered planting tomatoes, too, but I prefer perennials. I don't want to spend more time than necessary in the garden. I'd rather be out and about doing things, seeing people and enjoying life!
Nothing is better than Hometown veggies
Not sure how I got so far behind, but I'm playing catch up today. Yes, basil is an annual, but it is easy to grow from and keeps on giving all summer long. I can't get good results with grown oregano and tarragon from seed, although I've tried. And mine must both overwinter indoors. You need a large area to grow tomatoes. I had trouble getting into my plants because they were planted too close together this year.
