Green tomatoes.
24 Answers
I have 4 tomato plants which I have fed and watered to their hearts content, I have at least 60 tomatoes now of varying sizes but they are still green and hard, they are outside in tubs. Will they ripen on their own or do I pick the big ones and bring them inside.

Thanks for all your answers. I am now happy that my first attempt at growing tomatoes is not in vain. I do hope that I might get some lovely ripe juicy red ones, but failing that I can look forward to home grown green chutney to accompany my left over turkey this coming Christmas (excuse the swear word beginning with C).
