I would have put a photo of my pickings, but its hardly worth taking a photo of two black russian toms
Davy, I'm eager to hear about your Russian toms. I'm trying Anna Russian and Black Krim for the first time. Anna is heart shaped with a definite point on the end and very flimsy looking plants though the tomatoes look like they'll be a hefty size. The Black Krim are just beginning to turn darkish orange but the shoulder is dark green still and cracked- I was wondering what color they should be to pick??

(A ground hog gnawed away half of a ripe-ish one last night >:( )

Congrats, Tonybloke- you swept them clean, didn't you!

I tend to go by squeezing the tomato if it has a little give in it then its ripe. The colour tends to be a brownish when ripe

All my tomato varieties are poor this year. Plenty of green growth but hardly any fruit. I usually do OK but I will be lucky if my 15 plants have enough tomatoes on to make 2 plants worth combined at the moment

Indoors, unheated greenhouse. (Shirley, Roma, a beefsteak, Golden cherry tomato, moneymaker. and tumbling tom in hanging baskets for outdoors.)

Had a couple of Couer De Beouf ripen early (BER) but cut it out and ate the rest ... :)

Great picture Davyw1, making my mouth water. My tomatos are green but are going a paler green from bottom to top, is this a sign of gradual ripening or misplaced optimism?

tonybloke · « **Reply #173 on:** July 17, 2009, 11:35:36 »

this Korol Gigantov is starting to redden, and I reckon it'll be the largest tom I've ever grown.

Not a great beauty. Had to pick it before its time becaue it was going soft.

Amish Paste.

It must be that time of the year but I`m already getting fed up with things to do with tomatoes.

I`ll regret saying that in a few months time I know :)
