    Question - how far north are you & do the plants have full sun ? we are in a good spot in N Yorks. We have the advantage of an early start in a heated greenhouse, so the plants are 6 inches & straight out after last frost. This year we had gardeners delight red & ripe from end of July (21 plants was over-doing it somewhat, but last year only 1/3rd took)- in green house and against a sheltered wall . Bush variety (Garden Pearl ) cropped later and were not so good ( Nibbled by Hedgehogs! we have video) . I notice that they are a larger type vairety- how many trusses set before you pinched out the tops? my neighbours did not ripen either because they were in shade, started late and not pinched out. Green tomato chutney beckons!
