Hi All,

It was with fear i saw the fog this morning!

For my tomatos most have been planted late - they're nice and juicy and
round, but very very green.

Will they still ripen? ( They're just outside in the garden ) or will i
have
to pick them and put them on the windowsill or something?

Never done them before, so please bear with me!

Thanks!
Dan

Fog isn't a problem - tomatoes can go on cropping until the first frost,
which wipes them out.
It depends where you are, but near the sea in Suffolk I have had outdoor
tomatoes still cropping in November (albeit not very enthusiastically).
Dammit - it is only the start of September!
Once one tomato starts to ripen then the rest will follow.
I force ripening by putting the tomatoes in a lunch box or old ice cream
carton (clear one) with at least one ripe tomato and leaving them on a
windowsill.
The 'ripening magic' spreads around and they all ripen quite quickly.
They will not be as sweet as those ripened on the plant - more like
supermarket tomatoes.
As stated elsewhere bannanas are the king for ripening other vegetables and
fruit - close proximity to a ripe bannana does wonders.
