1) Suggest it is too soon for the tomatoes ( none of mine are ripening yet). 2) My cucumbers and courgettes were also planted at the same time - lots of courgettes but no cucumbers yet - be patient.

I got fed up seeing loads of green tomatoes and picked a couple of bunches, they ripened beautifully in my fruit bowl, on the (sunny) bench.

Yep all tomatoes you buy on shops are picked when very green

It is better to let tomatoes ripen on the plant. They have better flavour.patience people, they'll get there.next thing you'll have a surplus.

The birds have now found the tomatoes as soon as they start to show colour.Darn!
