good grief, what sort are they?

I got millions, would have been nice if one or two of them had turned red, eventually they rotted on the vines.

Did you mean they're named "Millions" or you planted so many you don't remember the name?
Anyway, perhaps it is a pink tom that stays pink when ripe?

Couldn't you have picked them in the green and put them in a dark place in gravel trays wrapped in newspaper?



They would have started to turn then put them on a tray in daylight



Some of these were saved from blighted vines even. You can discard any that develope the signs as they try and ripen.

When i say 'millions' i mean a potato sack full. They stayed green on the vince so long they became very thick skinned and uneatable, the vines withered and they started rotting. But they resolute stayed green. Not one single tomato broke ranks and ripened.

ive had no problem getting ripe toms this year in fact i would have liked them to slow down a little before ripening .

im not sure of the true origin of these seeds i think they are either big zak or delicious .
but im a member of the european giant veg growers asociation and got some seeds in the annual seed promo and i got some seeds from a friend in usa the seed that i got from usa grew these toms the seed was a perry 3.59 thats about all the info i have right now all the best mal
