How to ripen tomatoes

Trying out the banana trick here. Bananas cause other fruits to ripen quickly because they give off a gas called ethylene (apparently).  So you put a banana next too fruit you want to ripen and, hey presto! (apparently).

We'll see.  If these look like working after a couple of days I'll try it with a load more of my green crop.
