It’s been a weird season this year and my figs are finally starting to ripen…
Okras are going into overdrive…it’s $7.99 a pound at the stores and the ones they have are pathetic looking…
My bagseed is also doing well…I’m so glad that the floods didn’t mess up my garden…

Was always told by my next door neighbor in my teens to wrap it in newspapers so they can ripen up…almost 24 hrs. later here’s the results…

Do you think it’s the paper or being in darkness

I think, trapping the gases close to the fruit kinda cooks them. I use brown paper bags, 6 or 7 to a bag, if i want to ripen some quicker. An old salt told me about the gas thing, makes sense I guess.

Ethylene is a gas produced by fruits, including tomatoes, that promotes ripening . Many commercial tomatoes are actually picked while still green for shipping and ripened at their destination by introducing them to an ethylene-rich environment. Although it sounds a little nefarious, the practice is common.

It works folks, instead of wrapping them individually in newspapers I just put a few in a small cardboard box…

Fig tree cuttings for next year…wrapped in wet newspapers then put in plastic bag and then put in bottom vegetable drawer in the fridge…I will pull it out in 5-6 months later to root them…they will go into stasis folks.

They ripened up sooner than I thought…I got a lot of work ahead of me cutting/slicing them up for freezing…
