Me again, I have lots of little green toms, a couple turning red, but my tumbling toms are still producing yellow flowers and are getting pretty huge, should I stop them producing flowers now? I just want them to ripen!
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'd just let them get on with it , if we have an Indian summer you will lose out if you stop them now

They won't ripen until the fruit is mature. If they are in hanging baskets or containers you need to feed at a higher rate than normal.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Mine are huge too, two foot across, and covered in green tomatoes and flowers. Not much to do but wait.Comment

Glad it's not just me. If I was growing them just for the plant itself I'd be a happy bunny but I can't eat flowers! (Well not this type anyway) Toms seem to be taking forever to set and ripen. Perhaps I'm just too impatient.Comment

No, I had Maskotka last year and they were much earlier, though not so fecund.Comment

Go on, I give up, what is fecund?Originally posted by ButternutSquash View Post
Re Maskotka, they're the best, most tasty, tumbling toms I've grown. They're a must every year now. Personally I've found basic tumblers tasteless.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment
