Growing Tomato

View the Tomato page

16 Feb 11 emma (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I have planted bushy type (non staking) tomatoes on a high hot balcony. They grew nicely and produced flowers, then fruit which have grown to about small apple size. They seemed to be taking a long time to ripen; then as each one has changed colour, a flattened, smooth & rippled bottom has developed on the fruit which is olive green in colour. The fruit inside looks ok; still a bit green; but I'm not sure whether we should eat them. What do you think?
