Organic Tip

From: The Fruit and Veggie Gardener's Year


You can help tomatoes to ripen by placing fruit onto some paper and then putting it into a drawer. Adding a Banana will enhance the ripening as the ethylene gas present in the banana is a natural ripener.
Suitable companion plants to grow alongside tomatoes include parsley, sage and basil. Flowering French Marigolds and nasturtiums are also thought to be beneficial.
