Hi all I have loads of green toms left on my plants. Now the weather has turned should i take them off? if so will they rippen indoors as i dont like wasting anything?

Secondly can i use the soil from the grow bags to add to my raised beds even if they have slight blight?

Cheers all

Stick them in a paer bag with a ripe banana - that should get them going - someone else can explain about the gas! 

anything showing disease (even compost) should be binned - again I am sure someone else will concur though...

Bananas give off ethyelene gas which encourages ripening.

You'll be safe using the compost , blight needs live plant material in order to survive.

Depends what the disease is, I wouldn't go spreading stuff around that's infected with clubroot, for instance.

Chillis - haven't got a clue really - mine have ripened OK outside, but I'm not normally a chilli grower, best ask someone who is!

[mickeyboy]

I've picked my big chillis (cayenne) and stuck them on the kitchen windowsill and they've turned red nicely. The small ones (SuperChilli) I've picked and strung on a ristra, and they're turning red and drying out nicely too. They seem to only need a bit of warmth. I've got a couple of SuperChilli plants which were later, and the chillis still look a bit undersized, so I'm going to bring those plants in the house and stick them on a windowsill, to let them grow on a bit more before picking.

Thanks for that i have some cayenne also but all mine are orange....
I thought that was the final colouring so will do as advised by your kind self
