A womans garden is growing beautifully but the darn tomatos wont ripen.
Theres a limit to the number of uses for green tomatos and shes getting
tired of it.

So she goes to her neighbor and says, Your tomatos are ripe, mine are green.
What can I do about it?

Her neighbor replies, Well, it may sound absurd but heres what to do.
Tonight theres no moon. After dark go out into your garden and take all your
clothes off. Tomatos can see in the dark and theyll be embarrassed and
blush. In the morning theyll all be red, youll see.

Well, what the heck? She does it.

Next day her neighbor asks how it worked.

So-so, she answers. The tomatos are still green but the cucumbers are
all four inches longer.
