Learning for Life: Green tomatoes

Our warm summer produced a good tomato crop for most folks lucky enough to have a greenhouse, but no matter how we try, there are always some that don’t ripen during our season. Not to worry, the Cooperative Extension Service has a free publication on a Harvest of Green Tomatoes, which provides ripening methods and tasty recipes for those green fruit to help you use all your harvest.

Your local Cooperative Extension Service is your year round resource for a variety of topics, visit us today at: http://www.uaf.edu/ces to find this publication and more or stop by and see us in the Doors and Windows Building on Kalifornsky Beach Road between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. We are “Learning for Life.”
