Planted 3 varieties of tomatoes in the greenhouse at the same time.   Have been harvesting Sungold for 2 weeks but GD and Shirley are still green.

As others have said, tomatoes are a bit late ripening this year. We've had a cold May, warmed up a it in June, and now July, is dull and cool.
Have patience, they will ripen - eventually!
We come from the earth, we return to the earth, and in between we garden.

cool July? it is not, it is damn cold!! and if we do get a bit of sun, there is a strong Northerly wind which is awful.. Can you tell I am sick of our summer already? :(

Know what you mean Sadgit - attached is today's weather forecast for Sheffield - apart from the rain, note the maximum temperature!  :ohmy:

Don't think the GH automatic window opener will be exactly straining at the leash today.  :(

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Loads of green toms, but some of my Golden Pearl have just started to go red over the last few days.
Picked some today :)
Normally do not start picking my Toms until the very end of July or early August, so its been no later than any previous years for me.

Mine are all outside-Stupice, Galina and Tangerine.

I detected the first change in colour in the Stupice this morning so it shouldn't be long now. Last year my first ripe one was on 22nd July and the Galina the day after-shouldn't be long now! As others have said the harvest is long (if blight doesn't attack).

Tangerine (from realseeds) are a new variety for me this year so I look forward to seeing when that ripens.

The photo was taken at the allotment on the 6th August and there are happily a few more following suite down there now and I have a couple of Gartenperle starting to orange up at home.

They seem to be much bigger than I had managed to grow before. (Same variety gardeners delight)

My bl@@dy butcher have been the first ripen. I have been getting four a day from six plants for the last three weeks. Tigerella have a slight pink blush to them but seem to be stobbornly refusing to cooperate.
Pomodora have huge toms but showing no signs of ripening whatsoever. Only two Alicante plants, nice size toms but still a way to go.

They'll be like No9 buses. They'll all come along together.

I'm giving Q's away for fun from just four plants, and they are huge.

My Tigerellas are starting to colour up - probably at least a week until the first ones are ready. The first tumbling toms were harvested today - alright flavour but a bit watery.

We've been eating Sungold for four weeks now and Moneymaker for a couple of weeks, mind you we were a bit early planting out, as the seedlings had romped away in the conservatory and were needing to be put in the ground!
