There are Pixi. After the hot early spring I thought I would be ahead this year HB but the cold nights this summer put a stop to that!.

We still have some green tomatoes and yes it's supposed to be warmer this weekend so hopefully that will get them ripening again. A ripe banana placed near green tomatoes is supposed to help them ripen.

I have cut the rest of mine off Lindak and put them on windowsills I will try the banana.

they look very good, I've been growing a newer variety in the GH called 'Tamina' and its performed well, no 'black bottom' or 'greenback' and quick ripening ( tastes good too---) bought a packet for next year in a garden centre sale, now I just need to remember where I store them.....

These look really delicious. I have found if I put green toms in an eggbox and close the lid they ripen really quickly, but I don't use the plastic kind, but, maybe you all know that already!!!...

I find they do ripen up in the dark Breda, I think an egg box is a great idea
