    Garp; Theres not much we can do except pray for some sunshine.

    Feeding with a high potash tomato food and stripping off the lower leaves up to the first truss to let the light in helps slightly.

    a good idea to start your own thread so this thread does not go off topic:)

    The Etyhlene (??) from a ripe Banana will help the Tomatoes ripen. But much better to leave it on the plant I think. Can be used at the end of the season, pick and put on windowsill or in a drawer with a ripe banana.

    I have used that banana/drawer trick at the end of the season and it works for sure. Right now I think the best thing is to leave them on the plant and hope for sun.
