No sign of any of ours reddening up yet either-thought it was just ours.

As they're in a greenhouse is that a problem?

My tomatoes finally started to turn red on 18th August last year. I was so pleased I made a note of it.

mine aren't showing any signs of redness yet either so don't panic. Previous years I've had them still ripening in October and only given up and made green tomato chutney for Halloween! so lots of time yet.
