tomatos still green?

savingmummy

Yes ALL my tomatos are still green and showing no signs of colour
I have so many trusses with nice sized tomatos yet all green.
My 1st year of growing my own and i must admit it has put me off for next year:(

I have money makers which i started from seed in April and have 2 tomato plants that were just normal tomatos according to the person who gave them to me.

Mine are all green still and I grow every year. This year they're very slow but we've been lacking the sunny days we need.

Last year I started mine earlier (January) and did great with both the indoor and outdoor ones. Was eating my first cherry tom in late June. Wish I'd been more organized this year!

Mine are the same but starting to turn. It's just been the weather up here that has been the problem. Patience is a virtue as they say..... but if they aren't red by the end of aug they are going into green tomato chutney!

Quite normal for toms to be green now, they will turn red eventually even if you end up bringing them indoors.

Pinch out the growing tip so they concentrate on the fruit they have produced already.

Oh I'm so glad it's not just me, I was starting to worry that mine would never go red!

I am considering buying a big bunch of bananas so that I can drape the skins around the plants as I've heard that can help!

Or , do as the rest of us , be patient.

Mine are still green too. Nothing to do but wait :whistle:

I have grown tomatoes for a few years now and normally this time of year I am giving them away. Mine are all green and I can only put it down to the lack of sun. I have cut off every shoot and flower and trying to ensure my tomato plants only put their energy into the fruit already grown. Feed and water them well and wait. It is only mid August so we have about 5/6 week really before autumn really sets in. I have tried the banana trick this year and this does not seem to work.

Mine are mostly still green, but do have a few red ones now

And lack of sun is not problem in my case, it has been hot & sunny for what seems like months [Hampshire]

Been growing toms for over 30 years, green at this time of year, outside, green is fairly normal, they should though be going from dark green to a paler shade of green, that is them starting to ripen

All mine are green and also now cut heads off.

Most of mine still green too, and I'm in Surrey. One truss has started to go red, and a few other trusses seem a bit paler green, but most still dark green! I'm hoping they will ripen!
