Apologies in advance if I'm spamming too much. Do cherry tomatoes (or tomatoes in general) not ripen together all at once? Do some ripen faster than others? (lemmy.world)

And how do I keep my ripe tomatoes fresh so as to not use them and wait for the others to ripen for a bigger harvest?

Tomatoes produce ethylene gas as they ripen which actually helps nearby tomatoes ripen too, so you can put your almost-ripe ones in a paper bag with a ripe banana to speed up the proces!

I guess that makes the most sense, there's a big bunch that seems to be growing at the same time at the moment. But if I've grown impatient I'll try the paper bag trick
