I have grown Sungold year after year in my greenhouse.
This year quite a few of the fruit are very mushy - but not all of them. Never
had this before.
Any ideas please?

The weather this year? It has been strange and perhaps not the climate for
your Sungold toms. I think most home tomato growers are having problems
this year, at least the ones I have spoken to on a local allotment site and
this newsgroup have had less than the normal average crop.

We've found that the Jersey Sunrise have fruited prolifically but the
toms are quite small. Now I'm desperately hoping for sun to ripen the
hundreds we've got hanging there!
