Should I be picking these tomatoes for indoor ripening?
I’m in the East Midlands, UK. It’s getting chilly now and the tomatoes are very cold!

If you can protect them from the cold with blankets, sheets etc, do. They maaaaaaay ripen on vine, but you want them to have at least 50% blush on the fruit before you can try to ripen inside for good flavor or texture. If not, plenty of fried green tomato recipes.

That pot is way too small. Miiinnnin 5 ga for one plants. with a 6 ft trellis. A tomato plant can put out 50+ fruit. Yours needed more space. That pot is a good size for a basil or strawberry but not a tomato if you want abundance.
