Don't know where you are, but here in Southern California, with the
"June Gloom" we had this year, is my tomato scorecard:

Three Early Girls plants, which normally have many ripe fruits by June:
Two (small) ripe tomatoes by last week (Aug 4), plus maybe three more
small in a couple of weeks.

Lots of Romas (normal crop).

Three yellow tomato plants (don't have the name): maybe 10 ripe tomatoes
so far, maybe 10 more before the end of the season. (Delicious, by the way)

Maybe two dozen cherry tomatoes from 6 plants (a few more to come).

It's a meager year.

But I thank God for whatever harvest we got. After all, I couldn't have
done it myself...

I wonder if anyone in the NG who experienced the cold wet spring has
ripe tomatoes. All my tomatoes aren't ripe yet...I thought I messed
up, too much nitrogen or such.

My "4th of July" (Burpee, 49 days) and "Healthy Kick Plum" (Burpee,75
days) are in ground 70! days. All still needs to grow some and are
green or whitish green. My "Burpee Burger" (72) and "Big Mama" (80)
are also behind. I don't expect either to harvest for ..im guessing ..
2-4 weeks.

How long do tomatoes take to ripen, once it starts to change color?
