I'm doing something wrong. I've had a little bit of luck with the old standby 'Sweet Million' this year. I think it's the fact that I've got the pot set up against a warm south wall. <br /><br />I guess mother nature wants to remind us who's boss. Those baby carrots look so yummy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-8246485699482336652010-09-11T16:57:01.492-07:002010-09-11T16:57:01.492-07:00Nicole, thank you for the links!

(They really do ripen - even turning red and very tasty!) I sometimes leave them on the vine so I can hang them but other times, just take individual tomatoes off and set them on a drafty north windowsill. It takes several weeks and you can speed things by putting an apple (I think) in a bag with some of the tomatoes.katehttp://www.portlandmonthlymag.com/blogs/plantwisenoreply@blogger.com
