That's the dross. Barely enough for a good green tomato fry-up!!

PS - Meaning, of course, not too many unripened.

Looks just like my collection!!  ;D ;D

...and mine, but about three weeks ago... :-\

I think they look great!!....silly questions but....

can you really fry green tomatoes??

do you add anything to them for flavour?

will they give you stomach ache?

just inquisitive  ::)

Mine tomatos are still going strong!! getting about 30 red ones a week, we are now picking off the green ones too and making a gorgeous green tomato cake.

Yep! I'm still picking red ones too! Picked 2lb yesterday for some soup.

Green Tomato cake sounds interesting, could we have the recipe please?

1. Of course!
2. Not really.
3 No!!

I use oatmeal. Cut them thick. This is one site that keeps coming up. You'll often find green toms pink inside.

I just found a book today "Gardening made Easy"  ( laffs at that) by Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall  .. is she his (a) mother (b) wife or (c) just one of those weird coincidences ?     {:¬)#   < ... genuine question by the way  ....

Jane is Hugh's mother and also author of 'The Good Granny Guide'

That looks about the extent of my whole crop ... a terrible year for tomatoes.

Now if you had been talking carrots ...

There is always next year ...
