Green Tomatoes

About 3 weeks ago it started getting too cold to continue heating the greenhouse so I brought my tomato plants in the house.  I had a slew of tomatoes on the vine but they were not starting to get red.  Once in the house they started to turn red but the plant was not very happy and started to look pretty sick.

A few days ago I was at lunch with a friend of mine who said that she used to pick all of the tomatoes off her plants and lay them out on a cloth in a cool room.  They would slowly turn red throughout the winter.  I figured since she was able to do this, why not give it a try.

So here is a photo of my tomatoes today.  They are quickly turning red and we are eating them as they do.  Tonight I am making pitas with hummus, olives, spinach, tomatoes and free range chicken.  Yum!
