Default Tomatoes not ripening

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?


Patience, Grasshopper. Around here we set out plants around May 1st
and expect (the first) ripe tomatoes by 4th of July. With a cool
spring, this may be over-hopeful. "...on the vine for (literally)
weeks" begs for factual data. My sister hasn't answered my last e-mail
in months. Well, weeks and weeks. Well, looking it up, 9 days.

Your tomatoes will ripen. Not to worry.
