Regarding green fried tomatoes, you-gotsta-have-patience.
First you have to get sick and tired of eatin red ripe and juicy variations of tomato salads, one slice filling (about 3/4" thick) tomato sandwiches on mayonaised toast, roasted tomatoes coned-out somewhat and loaded with sugar, and passing-out tomatoes to friends and neighbors for a few months.
After the growing season and/or when expecting first frost and pulling out the plants,...there are nothing but green tomatoes stripped from the plants (about 3 shopping bags full). Then, and except for the tomatoes turning red in the bags (they all would if not eaten green), for a couple of months we pig-out on fried green tomatoes,...naturally fried with The Wifes Super-Duper (great on chicken, veal, steak or ANYTHING pan fried or deep fried) Breading.
Still, and since some tomatoes got and get knocked off or fall off green during the season, we did sort-of cheat tonight (as throughout summer also), by having some fried green tomatoes.
