Fluffy textured tomatoes?

I grow my tomatoes outside East of England in a semi-shaded very sheltered organic garden for several years I grew perfect tomatoes in their masses. However my seeds failed this year through lack of attention (over watered) so I bought the plants to save time I usually start them earlier another mistake. I had red ones this time last year they had fluffy texture I have a green house should I gently dig them up now and transplant there to ripen off? My tomatoes are still green I had a couple of red ones that were perfect and a couple that were fluffy. The last couple of years have been lacking sun is this the cause of fluffy texture? I don't care for green tomatoes but I may have to eat some green ones *groans*. Chuckney?? *gags* Thanks for the WIZARD!! TIN IDEA I've got some of that. A bloody bugger I didn't think of that earlier when I suggested reflective dangling objects in my garden once here on Yahoo I got laughed at.

1. Mine are the same green they were last week! Everyone seems to be in the same boat, lack of sunshine and heat. You can still pick them if you think they are ready and place them in newspaper or tissue paper in a drawer to ripen them. Lousy weather for tomatoes this year.
2. Green tomato chutney Moley... ? You know it makes sense! : )
3. When Penfold eats them make sure he doesn't eat his teeth too.
4. Hi There! The tomato season was stink here to(NZ).Tomatoes prefer full sun,no wind.Best grown against a tin fence.The tin reflects the heat.I wouldn't eat any that were fluffy.As far as green toms,they make into green tomato chutney.Very yummy!
5. Fluffy? You might have been chewing on a chihuahua.
