Tend not to get a glut now as I only grow in a greenhouse and they will keep ripening OK in there.<br />You can also ripen them by laying them spread out on a tray in a cool room with a couple of ripe tomatoes among them - they will mostly turn red given time.Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-11030046626387598142019-09-30T14:28:25.708+01:002019-09-30T14:28:25.708+01:00Do you ever have a glut of green tomatoes?

Because of that my eldest grand-daughter did have playdough which didn't change my mind. I am always tempted with the Christmas magazines, but from my experience with them they are all the same year after year, so am resisting the urge this year.<br /><br />We have a solid wooden 6' high gate and side panel to our back garden and my husband is in the process of painting it and we shall get some gekkos and other ornaments for a bit of interest to it. We have a fairy door with fairy dust to put on the panel for our youngest grand-daughter when the weather is drier. I like fun things in the garden, lol.Joan (Devon)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-13279109988746790082019-09-30T08:41:51.581+01:002019-09-30T08:41:51.581+01:00I could never get past the awful smell of the boug...I could never get past the awful smell of the bought playdough - we had plasticine! I do however like to buy one Christmas mag for a bit of inspiration - Country Living usually though was disappointed to find repeats in it.<br />Gates are expensive we had to buy two large ones for our cottage.

Fantasic stuff. I used to store it in the fridge (in an airtight bag).
