I am growing 9 tomamto plants. All seem healthy, and have set fruit. The tomatoes have been full size for 4 weeks, but are still green. What's going on?

How warm is your weather? They can be slow if the weather is cool, don't worry, just have patience

Sounds ok, probably just being a little slow as it does take a while once they reach full size. If you haven't already you could give them a little feed to give them a boost but don't overdo it.Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad -

Force them onto your children, neighbours, family and friends.
Otherwise, Chutney, pasta sauce, tomato soup, chutney, tomato sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, casserole base, or chutney.

organicfarmer:hey SIAN eat them or rot
Nah, can't stand them myself.
I grow them because I like to give my kids at least one tomato every day, and hey, I just like growing things and seeing the results.
Unfortunately I didn't have much success with my first 8 plants recently. Either the relentless heat, or some disease.
Will try again when weather cools down.Coming at ya from Sunny Kalbarri, WA. -

cut them in half and fill a baking tray. Add a finely chopped onion and 3 or 4 cloves of garlic that have been chopped into quarters. Splash of olive oil and good glug of balsamic. Pop in the oven at 180 for about 40 mins. When they come out either have as a warm tomato salad OR put through a seive. Then you have homemade pasta sauce. If you dont fancy tomato sauce add a couple of spoons of sour cream at this stage and stir well and you have tomato soup.
As you can imagine we have an enormous tomato glut at the moment!
