Nice SupaM. Next year 8t is my mission to try and get the skins softer and also for them not to split as much when harvested....what's with that splitting nonsense. I have tried fridge, out of fridge, in a box, in à bag etc etc and some still split....grrrr.

1 Chile can do a lot of damage Don!

I am not sure how it could be either to be honest as they have only ever got water. The soil was definitely not to hot either. And they are all in pots and it's been hard to keep them watered enough over the summer since its been warm here.....hmm mm. These dolce rosso toms also.have quote tough skins when bought as well.

Same here, almost all in pots with good soil, and barely watered here lately....found some strange bugs about tearing up a few good ones when I picked those...had to toss about 5-6 good ones...maybe that'll give the squirrels a meal so the others can finish properly. I'm determined to just pick them a bit early, and let them finish inside for the rest of the season. ATB!

Brown bag em SupaM. The colour comes out. I tend to do that with all the late finishers. Maybe it's restricted roots. Saying that. They seem to split after I take them from the vine(not all of them though). But it means I then need to refrigerate or use them as the fruit flies then appear 10 minutes later lol.....so quite annoying.

I attempted my 1st tomatoes this year ... and the first batch shrivelled up and died... then the black ones were very very nice easy growers BUT had skins like rhinos!... then the other batch I had seemed to grow nice and fat and look all perfect but if you picked one it'd have a soggy bottom! HumFFFF! :D

Soggy bottoms...sounds like the Great British Bake off lol.
We picked the main load of our tomatoes today. We've been grazing on them for a while.but it was time....there's still a load ton ripen but all depends on the weather. Also for the Plemon. Everything hinges on getting some sun in October.
Here's the toms we picked today. A long with a cheeky little so and so munching them...

I was the fussiest growing up. I was mainly brought up on rice and katsup, or rice and sugar and cucumbers, we lived in the Far East and I spent most of my time with the Amah (live in Nanny/Maid) and her kids. Subsequently when we moved back to Scotland I found it impossible to eat meat and was generally sick every Sunday lunch (sorry Gran!) Now if it moves or doesn't, I'll eat it:)

The whole of Eastern Europe thinks different lad, lol. Gin has always given me suicidal hangovers.....or Genever has anyway.
