I have plenty of tomatoes but they are still green and showing little sign of ripening. Plants are healthy, watered everyday. Any suggestions.

Send the wife in and get her to take her clothes off, they will turn red blushing.
BUT a word of warning, watch out if you have cucumbers close. Mine grew massively, haven't figured out why yet?

Patience. I pulled one plant out, showing signs of some disease. I kept the green tomatoes and and a week-ish later they ripened. But best to wait before picking. they'll get going when they are ready.

Mine come off soon as they blush. Not because of my naughty nudies - but my beastly blackbirds, lol.

Aunt Daisy's book has a recipe for green tomato chutney/relish and it's very good but it's too early yet to worry. Toms ripen as late as April/May.
