I picked my Moneymaker toms before I went on holiday last week & put them in 2 paper bags to ripen as they were all green. One bag had the ones I was a bit worried about as blight had hit the plants & they had a couple of brown marks on each & the other bag had the ones which looked O.K. When I came back after a week the bag of dodgy ones had all gone brown except for one & the other bag had one which had a splodge of brown on & of the others half were ripe & the rest still green. The ripe ones tasted lovely & I've left the rest in the bag-not put a banana in with them though. It may be as well to bring them indoors now to ripen if there is any sign of blight in your garden but I don't think we'll get any frost just yet.
