Good Morning All
I have grown a few tomato plants from seed (from a tomato bought from a store) since March. The fruit started appearing around mid-late August.
As it is now mid October I have plenty of fruit all different sizes....but all green. I did pull 2 tomatoes and left in kitchen and within a few weeks one has turned completely red the other has a slight red tinge.
Do tomatoes take a long time to ripen?
How and when will they all ripen? As they they are all different sizes will they all turn red?
Do I take all the tomatoes from the plant and bring them indoors to ripen?
What do I do with the rest of the plant once all fruit harvested?
Many thanks in advance.

Green ones can be used to make chutneys - there are quite a few threads if you do a search [top of the page ]
You can just compost the plant once everything is removed.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
