What the heck, FF?!? My last tomato of the season was a small green thing that I put on a shelf and forgot. After a month, maybe six weeks, it oh so gradually started to turn red. It blushed and softened like a tomato on the vine, until it's turned completely red. Is that normal? IS THIS A ZOMBIE TOMATO?

If you eat a zombie, do you become a zombie? Think about that.

It's normal, if the shelf was in the sun. You can stick them in a cold dark place, and they won't continue to ripen as fast. Amazing fruit, though I don't like them. Edit: Just realized the time period, so I'm going to guess it was in a cold dark place.

Yes, it's normal. Even in a cold dark place, they'll eventually ripen. Particularly if they're near anything that gives off ethylene gas like apples or bananas.

they say that if you pick your tomatoes green at the end of the summer, they will ripen. Nice to know that is true.
