Anyone got ripe toms yet ?

I have planted loads of types and they are all still green.None are in the greenhouse though maybe i should have left some in there

Nothing going red yet either in the GH or outside, but Red Alert cherry toms are slowly starting to change colour. They are on the south-facing patio in pots.

No red tomatoes on my plot in East Finchley yet, or anyone else's on the site as far as I can see.  But everything is now growing strongly and looks fantastic.

Had the first few of the "absurdly early" Latah from real seeds last week. Better than last year, when I didn't get any until mid-August. Didn't have a lot of taste, but better than shop ones (I think)

Not even here in Western France! And I was quick off the mark this year ;)
these are outdoors of course. But there are some green ones growing so could be quite soon, epecially if we get a drop of rain.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Yes, here, but Delaware has such a different climate than you're dealing with over there.
"Polfast" variety. The earliest I've ever grown, usually don't have toms come in until close to mid-July but this year tried this new variety and used a coldframe. Then when set out used mirrors and pruning. Not sure how much the mirrors have helped though, may be just my imagination.
The handle on your recliner does not qualify as an exercise machine.

Thats kind of good to know that we are all in the same boat, but i'm sure last year we had had toms all through june and at this rate we'll be lucky to get a few by end of july

I've had some cucumbers though so not all lost

You couldn't make it up!

I haven't even got flowers yet!  :o

Flowers but only the odd marble-sized green tom so far.

It would help if in my hurry to cut off some wayward shoots on my lottie toms that I didn't cut off a fruiting branch by mistake...... :-[

Have some green fruits, but all plants not as far on as this time last year.. :-\
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
