An old gardening trick to speed up the ripening of tomatoes
The secret of apples and bananas
Experienced gardeners have their secrets to success. One of them involves scattering apples and bananas among the tomato beds. But why do gardeners use exactly these fruits? The secret lies in the substances contained in apples and bananas. These fruits contain ethylene, a substance that stimulates fruit ripening. This effect is due to the gaseous emissions of ethylene, which affect the fruits and make them ripen faster.
Ripening using apples and bananas
The idea is simple! When you place an apple or banana near the tomatoes, the gas emissions will spread to them as well. This will contribute to their faster ripening, resulting in juicy and sweet fruits ready for picking.

If you’re still in doubt, there’s no better way to convince yourself than to try it yourself. Try scattering apples and bananas near your tomatoes and watch them ripen faster and become tastier. Try this trick and enjoy a bountiful harvest of fragrant and juicy tomatoes that you have grown yourself.
