Green tomatoes

Bernadette Bourke asked 14 years ago

I bought 2 tomato plants money spinner & ailsa craig, planted outdoors in June in a shelltered sunny spot. Lots of big green fruit on both plants but no sign of them turning red, is it too late now for them to ripen and if so what did I do wrong?

Tomatoes are really a greenhouse crop but you can get them to grow outdoors, especially in a good year.

They ripen later outdoors, even into October, although much depends on the weather as wet weather can cause rotting.
