Growing tomatoes

[doodab]

Are you sure they're not green tomatoes by design, as it were? At sasguru towers we're trying to be self sufficient in veggies and although I haven't grown green tomatoes I know they exist and are more tasty than the red variety.

Which red variety?

I've found the tastiest tomatoes come from sunnier climes, particularly some of the Italian "plum" varieties when properly ripened on the vine are something else. We get baby plum ones in the supermarket here that are great cut in half in a greek style salad.

The little yellow ones can be very nice as well.

Stop watering them and the fruits will ripen out of shock.

I did think that but dismissed it as they do get sunlight but I guess it is not enough.

Is the best thing to do to leave them as they are until they reach their mature size and then pick them and ripen indoors?

(They are not in pots so can't be moved).

•Wrapping individual green tomatoes in newspaper and layering in a box, no more than 2 layers deep. Place the box in a dark, dry spot and check weekly for progress. It usually takes 3-4 weeks for the green tomatoes to ripen, but check frequently and remove any fruits that show signs of rotting.

You can also make green tomato chutney.

WHS if they're in pots move then so they can get more sun, just be careful the soil in the pots doesn't dry up.

Here you go. Sounds quite simple to sort.

My grandad used to take them off the plant once they reached a good size, bring them indoors and put them on the windowledge to ripen/turn red.

I have about a dozen tomato plants all bearing a healthy bounty of tomatoes.

Only one problem, they are all green and failing to turn red.

What am I doing wrong?
