Default Tomato "green shoulder": always means too much sun?

Some of the old heirloom oxheart-types I've grown have had massively
green shoulders, while others have not. We've had an exceptional
amount of sunshine in the last month and a half. Of the varieties
I'm growing this summer only one of them 'Juliet' is showing any sign
of green shoulders (tiny ones). I'm growing 'Juliet' mainly for drying
so will just cut the green parts when I halve them.


Veering off the topic of green shoulders a bit. We also often plant
Juliet. I did not realize they dried well. Do you do them in a
dehydrator? Have you planted Sweet Baby Girl? That is my husband's
favorite. I have been slow roasting and freezing those all summer.
