They were gronw from seed by a friend and somehow lost their labels so I have two plants that could be yellow, green, or black cherry tomatoes. I'm hoping for black, but how do I tell the difference between ones that are supposed to be green and oens that are just not ripe?

TA / JKS - the tesco blokes round here usually carry the trays in to the house. I ask for no plastic bags and unload the trays myself to make sure I haven't ordered 500 loaves and they haven't done loads of annoying substitutions.
