How do I bring my green tomatoes (on the vine) to ripen here within the Seattle nouns?
Answers: I've kept mine covered against frost so far and I'm in Z4 N. Dakota. When a firm freeze is predicted, I pull them by the roots and hang up them upside down in a heat sunny area contained by my garage.The first to ripen will taste vine ripened, those that whip longer get the store bought syndrome.

Will not ripen on the vine, bring them contained by and place it window near sun or have some "fried green tomatoes".
Very unforced lad, you can pick them right now. Green and put them into a box or simply into the refrigerator. Theres no wrong channel to do it.
Pull out the plants by the roots and hang it upside down---all the nutrients will flow down to the tomatoes--- contained by a few days or so, they'll be ripe.
r sCOTT HAS IT RIGHT. iF YOU ARE AT THE END OF THE GROWING SEASON. hOWEVER, IF YOU ANTICIPATE 2-3 WEEks of frost-free weather, just thieve a spade, and cut a half circle around respectively plant , about 1 ft from the stem, this will shock the plant, and it will ripen remaining tomatoes. Any geen tomatoes remaining can be ripened as Scott said, or put into a bowl next to an apple. The apple emits a gas that help ripen tomatoes. Good luck.
