This is what I get for trying to grow tomatoes in Washington...

I finally gave up and picked the rest of the tomatoes after this morning's frost. I planted really early, too! Oh, well. Someday I'll enjoy garden fresh tomatoes again. I just hope some of these ripen up a little on my kitchen counter.

Carrie,
Put your tomotoes in a box and cover with newspaper they will ripen, you just need to keep checking on them! You must have to much shade were you plant them, they do love the sun! Looks like you'll have a few salads yet!

Oh, Carrie I remember those days!! I spent years trying to get the tomatoes to grow. From covering them to Insulating them. You name it we tried it and every year it was the same green tomatoes! But they do ripen in the house!! Just so you know not all is lost!
