tomatoes ripening in the compost bin

A few weeks ago I pulled up the old tomato vines so I could plant winter veggies. The worms in the compost bin are slowly doing their good work on the vines, but something interesting has been happening to the tomatoes. There were a few green tomatoes left on the vines, and over the past few weeks, the tomatoes have been ripening. I ate a few this morning and they were delicious.
