Well here are the last of the tomatoes, picked green in early November and left in the basement to turn, not bad as my best before was Thanksgiving Day. Location----Eastern Shore of Maryland

Very nice , and they look yummy too ! Years ago we liked to do more in the garden , and we found some Tomatoes called "long keepers" . They never got ripe before frost , so we picked them , and wrapped all the tomatoes that where blemish free in newspaper, and put them in a box in the cellar. Every week or so we would go and take a look to see how the ripening was coming. We ate the last of our garden tomatoes at Easter that year.I think we bought the seeds from Stokes Seeds . Bruce

Pretty cool! I did manage to hang onto my last watermelon until Dec. 2, but, alas, it was kind of mushy by then. I used my last eggplant around Dec. 15. (This is in southern Minnesota.)

I'm guessing the shorts have been put away and the 'long johns' are in vogue now. Happy N Y.

Yeah Bruce, Burpees first develop the "Long Keepers". I grew them back in the 70's. Never came close to keeping them till Easter,good job!

Tried some probably 20 years ago. Rotted on stalk before harvest time. Never tried again.
