Outside tomato plants
7 Answers
I should have added this to my query re my potato plants.
I have 2 lots of tomato plants in a gro-bag outside.
It was kind of hit and miss as I got them from my Mam but one is obviously a plum tomato and the other plant is producing a round tomato.I dont know the variety.
They have been fully formed for weeks.Quite a good yield,sadly they are still green.
Would you be tempted to pick them and take them inside and put them on a windowsill or again am I expecting too much too soon?
You'll guess by now this is my first time with planting out vegetables.
Thanks for any advice you have to give.

Thanks for your replies.Think I got too excited when I actually saw formed tomatoes and then nothing else seemed to be happening!
I'll definitely enjoy them when they ripen.Cant beat homegrown tomatoes for taste.Mam ends up giving them away :O

Have a look at the date on this question I posted last year...seems as though you had the same concerns as I had...

Great alahalf,looks like you weren't convinced like me.Couldn't see you pic but by all accounts they ripened :O)
They'll be glad to know that they still have some nurturing left.Have to say however that i've not been pruning them,which i'm off to do right now.Think that may help as we have the formed fruit, so any stalks I remove will be redundant ones and may let the sunshine in :O)
Thanks all for your advice.
