Why are my tomatoes not ripening?
Every Man wrote:
Very strange. I'm in eastern Virginia -- Northumberland County, along the Potomac River. 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. Last year my plants were loaded down with green tomato's that never got rip. I picked twenty and put them on the kitchen counter and they still didn't get ripe. This year we had so much rain it killed the tomatoes I planted so I don't have any. |
