This is an interesting post from the local wannabe-farmer message board this week:

We just enjoyed our last 2009 home-grown tomato this week! For the first time we tried hanging our tomatoes up to ripen indoors when the rains arrived last fall. Last November we cut the stems that had green tomatoes on them and hung them over our kitchen sink. We just cut 2-3 foot-long stems and strung them up in our kitchen window (which doesn’t actually get any sun). It was a big improvement over the previous year, when I pulled entire plants up and hung them in our garage — and then kept forgetting to check them.

I was amazed at how much time had passed between harvest and getting to enjoy the last of the tomatoes.
