Fw: Shelf-ripening tomatoes

[Guest guest]

Good morning (EDT) from Morgantown, WV

I had a small garden this Summer but it's been getting quite a bit of shade from

a neighbor's trees as they get taller. At the end of the season I had lots of

green tomatoes. I've been ripening them on the shelf in the kitchen, but I know

this isn't ideal. Can anyone tell me how un-ideal it is? Can it actually be

harmful in any way? I'm assuming it's still better than organic store produce

that's been shipped from faraway.

 

Thank you.
