SWMBO has spent lots of effort in getting a bumper crop of tomatoes (not
sure of the type) and the blighters just won't ripen either on or off the
vine.

We have a small greenhouse with a few in, no ripening there either, and
plenty of watering for the outside plants which has produced good fruit
all still green.

Anyone any tips?

The acetone given off by ripe bananas will assist picked tommies to redden,
so place a banana in a basket (the sort florists use) and place them
somewhere cool. they should redden nicely.
