Keeping tomatos home in 2017.

I threw away a lot of green tomatoes, too. I tried bringing some in to ripen on the counter but they just shriveled. They went to compost. Sorry to hear you only scored one tomato. That stinks.

I had no idea how heavy the Marzano plant was going to get. I had it caged and I kept having to reinforce the cage with metal stakes.
