My tomato plants are four feet tall and are laden with full market
size green tomatoes. Seem to me that some should begin to ripen but
they continue to stay green. In fact it seems that they have been that
way for almost a month. When may i expect to see some ripe tomatoes?
BTW I'm in the north Atlanta area.
Thanks,

are they getting enough sun? try picking one or two now, and sit them in
the sun, outside or inside. they should turn in a couple of days, depending
on variety. or you could get your fill of fried green maters! lol

just slice in round slices, batter, & fry..........folks 'round here love
them.

wonderful. I asked online for green tomatoes and had a bushel full
last fall. I started with batter (tempura batter is excellent), then
did dredge in amaranth flour, finally I just zapped em in the
microwave when I got tired of all the grease. they are great side
dish. they DO need to be salted for maximum flavor. Ingrid

Patience. It sounds as if the plants have their hands full. But if they
have gotten this far, they will complete the journey. They know what
they are doing. Relax.

Do you know, off the top of your head or do I have to look it up, if
green beans need to be replanted to maintain production during the
season? One end of my row (1/3) is cranking. Beans every other day. the
other end has just set flowers and the middle s still growing. No, not
all planted at the same time.

I await you Delphic pronouncement.

Butt right ahead gentle lady.

I'm happy to read that I won't have to replace the plants.

My main worry right now is that I'm going to burn out on green beans.
The recipe that I use for green beans can be used with carrots,
mushrooms, parsnips, and peas. But I need to find another variation so
that I don't lose interest in green beans since I seem to have brought
in a gusher of green beans.

ok, just to make sure we are completely on the same page............

your green beans are what us country folk call "string beans" right? or are
you refering to lima beans as green beans.

I assumed the "string beans" in my first post, but i grow and cook both.
clarify my mind and we can possibly move onto recipes.........

Just some reassurance here. Same story here, except one of the larger ones
has finally shown some orange hue to it. They'll probably all ripen within
a week of each other at this rate. Still making blooms as well.
Like the tomato to ripen on the plant, vice the window. Lot richer taste in
my opinion.
