We have tomatoes at home and at the allotment.
They seem to have set quite a lot of fruit, with the promise of masses more
to come.
However I have had one ripe cherry tomato and all the others seem nowhere
near ripening.
I would have thought that there should be some ready by now, especially with
all the warm weather.
We have several different varieties, but the majority are Sungold.
Hopefully the current burst of rain will perk everything up and encourage
more fruit.
Cheers

My tumbling toms are healthy with lots of green toms, but no sign of
ripening. :-(

Some fruit on one of my 'tumblers' is just starting to ripen, but the
Tumbling Toms remain green. No sign of ripening yet on Gardener's Delight or
Moneymaker, either.

I agree with all of the above, I have toms both indoors and out and there
is plenty of fruit but all green with no sign of ripening as yet :-(

Don't grow any of those small Toms, but our large ones out on the allotment
are doing well, what with all the watering. Lots of fruit setting but
nothing anywhere near ripe yet. Probably have to spray with Bordeaux Mixture
before any get ripe.
