Hi, this year I have made my first attempt at growing tomatoes on my patio. I have had a bumper crop but unfortunately they are still green with no sign of going red. Is there still time for them to go red? If not, what can I make with green tomatoes please! All suggestions welcome. I have a feeling it is now too cold for them outside.

Cheers for that, that was really useful. Just wished they had turned red though!Comment

Some will turn red off the plant - whereabouts are you in the UK, maybe time yet? We've still got a few outdoor & greenhouse toms cropping.

Unfortunately, we are in the frozen North 11 miles west of Leeds. Maybe I will wait another week.Comment

Are they in pots? If so you could bring them indoors, that would give them the extra time to turn red. You could try picking a few off and see if they turn on your window sill, I do that with any green ones that get knocked off. I've heard putting a banana skin next to them helps too.Comment

Hi, I am in leeds and have had the same problem with my polytunnel toms. I hung a couple of bananas in there and they are slowly but surely ripening. The riper/blacker the banana gets the more red tomsI am getting.
Cheers

Just to thank everyone for their advice earlier in the year. I can happily say everything worked. My tomatoes all turned red and I am still eating the last of them. Brilliant thanks. Didn't think they were going to turn but suddenly I had a box of red tomatoes!Comment

Same story here. I picked a huge box full of green tomatoes and was looking for ways of using them up. I now have a box full of red tomatoes having just left them there. Made pizza toppings, salsa, chilli and all sorts out of them.Originally posted by BrenLiz View PostCurrent Executive Board Members at Ollietopia Inc:
