    Don't pull them yet Mike, best to nip out the top so the plants put all their energy into swelling the fruit. Also green tomtatoes will ripen after picking if you keep them in a drawer late in the season.

    Ok. I'll stick with them just now. Just need to get them to set some fruit to ripen.

          I really wouldn’t worry too much. I find that I’m picking ripe tomatoes well into October. There’s plenty of time! All mine are still green - I expect them to start ripening in August and my big black krims probably won’t start to ripen until september!

            15316547597505213027337386421263.jpg Iam sure they are a determined variety but haven't a clue?

                    usually some rips in the plant are fine, water will find its way there. my whole plant fell over and i just taped it back up and it healed itself

                      My first 6 Indigo Cherry Drops have ripened. Ate one and it tasted lovely.

                      My Moneymakers look to be going red on two trusses. either that or I'm seeing things.

                      My Cherokee Smokey Purple ones I'm getting loads of but no sign of ripening yet. I've now snapped off top even though some only have 3 or 4 trusses on all of my tom plants bar 2 bush ones.
