Today's harvest
(lemmy.world)
It's so late in the season but I'm finally getting something. I feel like it's a guessing game on when to pick stuff tho, tips are welcome!
Thanks for the tomato tip. I have so many that have been blushing but then the rabbit has gotten to them, and my good for nothing dogs aren't guarding shit.
I had no idea you should place them upside down. Is there a known scientific reason for placing upside down? Or just an observed best practice?
Tomatoes (all fruits?) ripen from the blossom end up to the stem end, meaning that the blossom end is always at a softer, more delicate stage of ripening compared with the stem end. So by storing the tomato upside down, you're putting the most pressure on the stronger, less ripe end.
