Do you keep tomatoes in the fridge?

It depends how ripe they are.

I do the banana thing. I wonder if it's true or a myth.

Fridge here, but have left them in the cupboard for a day or so to ripen as needed. I do this with other fruit (stone fruit, pears etc) too!

Cherry toms in the fridge, but normal ones I just keep on the bench, I think it makes them taste better.
Apples in the fridge though.

Interesting! I always assumed they would keep longer in the fridge too. Maybe the taste factor is why they recommend you keep them out then. We struggle to get through the punnet before they start getting wrinkly so I think I'll stick with the fridge then.

Little-O & Onyx - the banana thing is supposed to be about the gas a ripe banana produces isn't it? I think I remember learning about it in high school science... so it must be true

I do keep stuff out to ripen as well (pears & avos) but have always just bought ripe tomatoes.

Astrid, that would be nice But I am an absolute brown thumb. I kill the lowest possible maintenance plants. Except wandering dew - we have loads of that going gang busters.
