The greenhouse will soon switch to winter time...

Dear Companions, it is time to harvest the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants that are still holding out in the greenhouse to make room for the winter crops. On this occasion, we invite you to come and pick what is left. 

Everything must go!

Specifically ... the program

The greenhouse will be open to everyone starting at 2 PM this Saturday, October 18th. Pick what you like and come weigh your treasure at the store (which will remain open as usual). Everything is sold at €1/kg. 🎉

And of course, this event will be an opportunity to share and have a drink together... who mentioned mulled wine? 😉🍷

Yes, but some tomatoes are still green

No worries 😉 

You can either cook them as they are - Jam, Chutney, Pickles.

But you can also ripen them once harvested. Indeed, tomatoes are climacteric, which means they continue to ripen if provided with ethylene. And the champions of ethylene production are apples and bananas. So place your tomatoes at room temperature (+/- 68°F) in a box without them touching too much. Add an apple or a banana and let the magic happen. In a few days to weeks, they will turn red. Check regularly to remove any tomatoes that might have the bad idea of spoiling. (Short explanatory video)

Where will this event take place?

It will take place in the Company's greenhouse, Chaussée de Tirlemont 658 in 1370 Zétrud-Lumay. You can access the site through the store, but you can also enter through the gate that leads to the path at the back of our property.
