Hi all,
As of right now, over twenty tomato plants, I've been lucky enough to grow in excess of 300 fantastically large and disease free tomato's (beginners luck much?). My only concern is, that with August well under way, and September on the horizon - how do I convince my tomato's to ripen?
They're a fantastic green colour - and I feel like I'm half convincing myself at times - that slight shades of yellow are intermingled amongst it. However, I have yet to receive one ripe, juicy red tomato.
I've heard plenty of theories, take off the leaves - they need sunlight to ripen them, don't take off the leaves, they'll provide the resources to ripen them, take them off the vine and place them on a windowsill - etcetera, etcetera.
I was wondering, is there a definitive art to procuring red tomato's? Or is it sadly, a waiting game? My only concern being, how long is left on the clock before the sun fades away and is replaced with autumn.
