[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 49982, member: 2315"] Yep, newspaper and/or paper bags are the way to go. When tomatoes ripen they release gases that speed along the process. A paper wrap allows these gases to accumulate around the tomatoe in higher concentrations while also allowing them to breathe and mosture to disapate so they do not rot as they would in plastic. At least that is what my dad taught me as he always had tomatoes in his garden when I was a kid and during the season our windosills were loaded with them. -RM [/QUOTE]
