i planted 6 Balconi mini-toms this year - some yellow and some red. Put them in greenhouse until May and then moved a few outside. Only just started cropping a few weeks ago, but i am getting a handful every few days. They seem to have taken a long time to ripen - is this the lack of sun?
I would reckon we prob got a month left of tomato growing...

Mine are well grown, with lots of flowers and teeny tomatoes. These are outdoor varieties, but even the greenhouse ones are few and far between. Most of the ones on our allotments are the same. I thought it was just me! Not much sun for ripening. Its not for lack of watering either!

Ours are hanging in there...... plenty of green toms and a few ripening slowly ......... orange "sungold" good, yellow "golden sunrise" and "ildi" coming .......... still waiting for red "hector" to colour.
Must find a good recipe for green tomato chutney, fried green tomatoes ...... etc......

I put some recipes on a couple of weeks ago for fried green tomatoes, two variations that I do, also a recipe for making a sweet pie filling with the greens. I made chutney today .

Is that why they are called greenhouses? Two of them full of green toms and we don't eat chutney :'(
