tomato ripening question

[lily51]

Here'swhat's happening with the tomatoes...as they get a bit of color I pick them and let them ripen on windowsill. They turn a beautiful red color and then we put them on salads. Most are about the size of romas although they're not . Temp in greenhouse stays between 60 & 70 for the 100 poinsettias that have been growing on the benches above the monster tomato.
Only 28 poinsettias left to deliver then emp will be turned down some and tomatoes will go.
I did take a chance with this as both of these attract white flies.
It was an interesting experiment but next year no tomato plant

Here's an update....

Good, Lily!

Since I did my best to hijack your thread 6 weeks ago, I may as well provide an update, also . . .

The tomato plants in the greenhouse didn't get a week into November. Overnight temperature dropped to 20°F and they ♪ ♫ ƒřøźé ♪ ♫.

It serves me right .

All my tomatoes and eppers are fine in my solar greenhouse. Double plastic and water storage is all you need. I will like last year get through the whole winter without freezing most of my plants. The temp in Pa. was below 10 for a week last year and my temp stayed around 30 that week!
