August is, as we know, time of harvesting and summing up all your efforts in garden. For a long time on kitchen gardens at all cucumbers, bean, peas have kept up. Well, and owners of greenhouses begin collecting tomatoes, pepper and eggplants.
Tomatoes remove at once as soon as they have begun to sing, that is do not wait for absolute reddening. Why so to do? The fact is that collecting some part of fruits from plant gives the chance to other tomatoes to ripen, and some – to gain weight. There are 4 types of pospevaniye of tomato: dairy is when tomato still green, but with some (small) part of ripeness; brown (greenish fruits with purple reflected light under fruit stem); pink (from brown color to final ripeness, – such fruits keep up completely only through period from three days to one week); red – end of ripeness, is is possible as much as necessary, without being afraid to get poisoned.
And now I will tell small secret how to help to ripen to tomato fruits most quickly and simply. The fact is that if to break tomatoes which still are in the first stage of ripeness then this can most secure them and to protect from adverse effect of phytophthora. Here full algorithm of actions: at first it is necessary to break tomato together with fruit stem and to lay in several layers in box, further to strew all with shaving.
But there is also other option which is not less effective. It is necessary to remove tomatoes in the second stage of pospevaniye, to turn thin layer of paper and to spread out to floor (the best option – under bed that did not disturb), between them to place several completely ripe fruits. It must be done, that nedospely tomatoes have quicker completed ripening process, using the ethylene produced by ripe tomatoes. Many use this method, however there are also those who never heard about it.
Tomatoes, in well aired room at temperature up to 20 degrees, stop keeping up approximately in week. Professional gardeners insist that the darkness and the lowered relative humidity are necessary for tomatoes for high-quality maturing. If there are finance and desire, then it is possible to organize the perfect place for pospevaniye, using forest moss or sawdust instead of simple paper.
