RE: Top Tip for Tomatoes!

in HiveGarden25 days ago

Very nice! Tomatoes is about the only thing that I can grow without killing it. Even then it is kind of a crap shoot. Mine never look quite as nice as those. I just don't have the time to tend to them in the summer.

Sort:  

Thanks man. Yeah, these are definitely way off of their potential when it comes to size but they taste damn good. Who knew that a simple banana could save my harvest though?!

For sure. I've heard that about bananas before. I think it was in reference to avocados though. Something about putting them in a brown paper bag with a banana. I'm not a huge fan of banana flavored things, so I think I would be afraid that the smell would penetrate the avocado.

It's to do with the ethanol that they produce as they ripen I believe. They produce lots of it, which helps the tomatoes. I noticed a slight difference in taste but not much at all really.

Good to know!
