Default Tomatoes not ripening
(Mark) wrote:

My grape tomatoes have plenty of foliage, plenty of flowers and plenty
of fruit. Problem is...they're not ripening. The fruit still keep
a-coming, but even the first set haven't even started to "pink up",
and they've been on the vine for (literally) weeks. We've had lots of
sun and temps in the 80's.

Do I just need to wait, or is this a sign of some deficiency?

Waiting for the first tomato to turn red is like a 6-year old waiting
for Christmas. It takes forever.
When the tomato is mature, it has a light colored "star" on the
blossom end. It should start turning after that. Start tracking the
variations in colors as the tomatoes mature.
