When do you reap tomatoes?
You can reap the fruits either green or red. Once they get sufficiently big, they can be picked green and ripened off the vine in a dark cool location or make fried green tomatoes, or they can be allowed to turn red and ripen on the vine. The best flavor will be realized when allowed to ripen on the vine.

How do you ripen green tomatoes off the plant?
* Place them in a paper bag or even just a bowl with fruit that is already ripe such as bananas, apples and other tomatoes. This allows the ethylene naturally produced by ripe fruit to ripen the others. This is preferable to the artificial ripening done commercially with ethylene which produces fruit that look ripe but are hard inside. * I pick all my tomatoes just when they begin to change color. They are still green and I take them inside and place them upside down on a beach towel. You can wrap them as green and they will last for up to 3 months before ripening in newspaper. If you place a ripe tomato with unripe ones, they will ripen faster. === ===
Why does tomatoes ripen bananas?
I think you mean an apple will ripen bananas or green tomatoes. The apples as they ripen give off gas that aids and speeds up the ripening of other fruits, like placed in a brown bag with bananas or tomatoes and other fruits. Apples stored in the frige crisper drawer will make other fruits ripen quickly, thus go bad before you use them too.
Why does a green banana and an apple ripens faster?
All fruit produce ethylene gas in order to ripen, so by keeping your apples and bananas together in the open you are speeding up the ripening process. Bananas ripen faster than apples, which is why they spoil first.
Is it better to pick tomatoes early and allow them to ripen off the vine?
It depends on the variety of tomato. The seed pack gives you the days to maturity. This assumes that the plant has grown in a pot for 8 weeks prior to being planted. A seed pack that says 68 days to maturity would then take 89 days (including 7 days to germinate and 8 weeks to grow before planting in the garden). Then, that will be when the first individuals mature. Most tomatoes will produce a lot of fruit a little bit at a time until they die back.
Why does an over-ripen banana in your fruit basket cause the other fruits to begin to spoil?
As bananas ripen they give off a gas that causes other fruit near them to ripen faster and then spoil.
Why do fruits ripen faster during sunny days?
They give off ethylene gas which will ripen other fruit. Ethylene gas is also used in greenhouse to artificially ripen fruit commercially.
