Strawberries and tomatoes

2 replies

DD has been growing strawberries and tomatoes his year and has enjoyed looking after them. They have grown really well and have loads of fruit on them but the fruit doesnt seem to show any signs of ripening. We have been feeding the tomatoes and giving them lots of water but I am worried that the fruit might never ripen. Am I just being too impatient or should I be worried?

Not a garden expert but my strawberries have now finished (had last one about 2 weeks ago) but my tomatoes are still green - not expecting them to go red for a while yet. Just know they need sun to ripen. Be patient I reckon!

Tomatoes won't go red for another month or so. Hope for a sunny August!

On the strawbs front, it depends on the variety in terms of when they ripen. If the fruit is full size, if in direct sun, they should ripen within a week or so.
