Tomato House (fruit-fly free storage)

[NJCher]

Here's how I'm ripening my tomatoes on the counter this year:



I have three of these little glass houses so I can enjoy watching my tomatoes ripening, but they also keep the fruit flies out.

To the left is an upside-down wine glass, but it isn't working so well. I don't think there is enough oxygen. For whatever reason, it is not as effective as the "tomato houses."

FYI, these are beefsteaks.

1. Nice. Thought your beefsteaks were

large apples at first. Tomato houses, what a great idea! Will have to get a few. We are overflowing with tomatoes and apples at my place. Have to juice apples this afternoon to make hard cider.

2. Try a paper towel or napkin under the wineglass -- may be just porous enough. nt
