I have 6 Rosada tomatoes plants in my greenhouse and whilst they are abundant with fruit so far only one has started ripening. What are the chances of me getting a decent crop or due to the lack of sun Am i going to be making lots if green chutney!

Fear not, warmer weather is (allegedly) on its way this weekend.

Don't give up on them yet 

[mumofstig]

tis funny but once they start they all turn red at once

Mine  are outside, and still in flower!!! So at least you are ahead of me.

Thanks , I have read good reviews about these toms and am looking forward to tasting them.:-))

I'm in the same boat, you're not alone. I've had a Tigerella, a couple of GD's and that's it.  Waiting patiently though

I only have one ripe tomato amongst all the green ones!  I got quite excited when I spotted it - how sad!!!!

That's mostly the case here, I'm surprised you are not further advanced than that in Essex.

If they're in the greenhouse, throw in a banana skin, this technique ripens them - obviously the banana skin will turn black.  But it does work

No, not sad at all - I very nearly took a picture of the few nearly ripe tomatoes that have appeared this week I was so chuffed!  It's not been such a good year for toms this time for me but I blame the hit and miss weather

My toms are outside next to a south facing brick wall for heat.  I've harvested 1 lonely mini tomato.  Everything else is pea green.  When I lived in hotter climes I never harvested tomatoes before the first week of September - so yours have some time yet!

I've had a few and still waiting for the flood gates to open... so I'm guessing next week when I'm away

Ditto - I always come back to a good harvest - it's as if they're shy

The advice to put a banana in to help them ripen works BUT it also stops any new tomatoes setting.

I've been growing a number of different varieties (about 15 different sorts) over the last few years and, in general, the cherry tomatoes ripen first, then the beefsteak and then finally the "normal sized" ones.

This year the tomatoes are behaving strangely, poor setting rates on many varieties (I've got 3 or four plants with only one tomato on them) but those that have set seem to be growing very large. Sub-Artic Plenty - a variety I've grown for about 10 years - seems to have much larger fruits this year than I've had before. Red Cherry are usually the first to ripen but this year they're still green.

Weird

If they're of a decent size, I put my green tomatoes in a brown paper bag together with either a ripe tomato or a ripe apple, then close the bag up.  They soon ripen that way and any that don't, or if I have too many, they are for chutney or relish.
