Why are my tomatoes not ripening?
In article ,

Last year as we were building our house we planted a dozen or so tomato plants along the back of the lot and harvested tomatoes all summer and into the fall. This year, I have 26 plants, all heirloom varieties. They are in raised beds that are filled with half-and-half compost and topsoil. I prune my plants so there are 3-4 main stems. I have lots of foilage, healthy plants, no pests, and lots of green tomatoes. However -- only two of my plants are ripening. I have been picking an occasional ripe tomato from these two plants for 3 weeks; the rest of the plants show no sign of ripening although they are loaded with tomatoes. Any suggestions? Thanks. Slow here too in northern DE. I blame the weather as it's been cooler and rainier than normal. http://www.john-daly.com/stations/st...rica%20(excl.% 20Arctic What the stations worth a look.
