Loads of tomatoes - but still green

Any chance of them going red now?

Should I keep feeding them?
Should I remove the flowers that are still appearing to concentrate energies into going red?

Phew - I've stripped and cut off the flowers that were still appearing. Toms still getting fatter - but just not red!

Mine are tomato trees They are about 5 foot high and really bushy as I have never pinch out or stripped anything!!!???? Didn't know I was supposed to. How and why do I do it please?

I was just dead chuffed they grew from seeds but now they have grown too big for the canes and are starting to lean over!!!

I think sposed to pinch out to divert the growing tall energy into fruit producing energy. But my mums tomato plants are trees too - and she's got thousands of tomatoes!

Yes I have a fair few on there. Guess I'll just leave them alone for a bit longer

Have tied all of mine back this morning to expose the toms to a bit of daylight as they were all hidden underneath and it looks the sun is fighting its way through the clouds
