Waiting patiently for this to happen


My last year's harvest end of July and first week of August. This year, I am behind on the tomatoes with not a lot to harvest yet, am I alone?

    You’re ahead of me… you’ve a few red ones there!

    Are those ready to pick? I usually wait until at least 50% of the tomato has started to turn red…

    Normally by early August the novelty of fresh ripe tomatoes is starting to wear off.

    This year my early variety has only just started turning orange, probably a week before they’re proper ripe.

    I put it down to a lack of proper sunshine earlier this year, so they took ages to get going.

    I’m new to this, should I be picking my tomatoes when they’re green then wait for them to turn red? Cheers

    Mine are still light green too, it doesn’t look like they’ll be ready any time soon.

    i prefer to leave them on the plants so they get sweeter and stronger tasting. but the weather the last 4 years has been so bad and inconsistent

    It’s the weather. My tomatoes are only just flowering, and I planted them at the same time I have for years.
