Yellow pear tomatoes not ripening
What's up with that? Week after week they just hang here and nothing
changes. The plant is putting out a pretty fair number of buds and I see
new fruit all over it. But the oldest fruit which is almost full size just
stays green week after week.
It has been hot here in SoCal - days in the mid 90s and nights about 68-72.
I water them heavily two times a day and that may have to be 3 at the rate
they seem to need it.
My celebrities also do not seem to be in any hurry to ripen. In fact some
of the oldest ones I just had to cut off due to brown rot on the bottom
half. Cutting them open showed they were full of brown goo inside.
