Slow ripening
There was some mention at the poker table last night about how the tomatoes
around here look good, but aren't ripening. I mean, mine are still green without a trace of orange yet. Anyone else noticing a slow ripening of tomatoes this year? I'm in northern Ohio. |

Update NY here (1/2 way between NYC and Albany) and I'm experiencing the same exact thing. -- Steve Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it. |

Anyone else noticing a slow ripening of tomatoes this year? I'm in northern Ohio. Ditto here in east central NJ. a couple of small ones have turned yellow and soft. I've eaten these and they taste very good. It hasn't been near 90 yet. A couple few 80 80's days and very cool nights. It was 65 last night and been in the 50's recently. -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |

There haven't been too many of those lately. It must have something to do with global warming ;-) Ray |

Slow ripening
I've been pulling in ripe ones... I'd hate it if my whole garden full
of tomatoes ripened at once... We have to have time to eat some of them first! (To make a long story short, we started plants, the frost got them, and then we got more plants, and I had started seeds, and they're all now growing. 14 ripe tomatoes so far, with more turning.)

Anyone else noticing a slow ripening of tomatoes this year? I'm in northern Ohio. We just got back from visiting relatives in Ohio last week. I carried some green tomatoes from my son's garden. Ate the first ripe one at lunch today. He still has not had a ripe one there. Kate |

Anyone else noticing a slow ripening of tomatoes this year? I'm in northern Ohio. I thought maybe it was the plants I bought this year. I grew a Sweet 100(grape tomatoes) which is now a 6-7' tall bush and they just starting turning in the last week. I figured they would have turned by late june. I've had green tomatoes on that plant since early june. Most(80%) of the ripes are split on that plant. Maybe sweet100's are prone to splitting. I don't think I'll grow it next year. Mine and my neighbor's beefsteaks look good. I had two go ripe a week ago. Several days ago a few of the lower branches started blushing. One or two almost there--1-3 days more. My Roma looks like a lost cause. It is still only a foot and a half high. The Beafsteak next to it, transplanted the same day is 6'+ and growing. My healthy kick seeds which I planted AS SEEDS in May are bigger and healthier and bearing fruit. If I wasn't worrried about disturbing roots of the surrounding plants I 'd dig the Roma up and plant the Healthy kicks in the ground instead of the tiny bowl they are in.

Slow ripening
Things are slow ripening here in NE Oregon with the exception of Stupice
which has been producing since July 1. Usually Stupice starts producing in the second half of June.

I buy everything from Territorial, which is in OR, and Stupice is my early season mainstay. It is in full sun in SE MI, but it just started producing, and in fact after five Stupices I picked the first Costoluto and the first San Marzano (both main season toms). The Big Boys are not far behind. The Brandywine and (much to my suprise) the yellow pear are well behind. I wonder why the Stupice do not get red tomatoes a full month ahead of the pack, as they are supposed to do. They have not been anywhere close to 40F, ever. |

I've been picking cherry tomatoes in NYC for weeks, but all of my other
tomatoes decided to wait and ripen over this weekend. Everybody is invited for spaghetti with my special scauce in Brooklyn! Yay! Jack |
