For some reason won't ripen. They have been at this stage for a month now. I've always planted better boys but have never had to wait so long for them to turn red. Any thoughts?

You are about the 3rd person I have heard this year with tomatoes not ripening. Don't know why though. I have had buckets of red ones.

I planted them Joe the weekend after Easter.

Have u fertilized them at all? Have you tried picking a few and ripening them inside? Also some of those leave look a little discolored, you may have a virus. Do you smoke cigs my any chance?

I too am curious if you have picked any and had them ripen inside the house.

Are they in shade?

I read that if the temps of the mater is over 85 they wont get red at all...It was on the internet so you know its true...

Mine a very similar. I figured it had to do with how dry it's been for us.

No they are in full sun. I haven't picked any to ripen inside yet but I'm going to since I'm on leave the next few days. I don't know why the plants are yellow we have gotten a steady afternoon thunderstorm weekly and almost daily.

Bite the bullet and throw some flour and cormeal on those babies and eat up.

I'd try picking a few and placing them in a brown paper bag and putting them in a dark place. Supposedly this will help ripen them.

I picked about 3 duzen Saturday and placed them on the countertop to ripen. Looked like a couple are starting to turn red.

Good deal. Enjoy! Nothing like homegrown tomatoes.

Mine had no problem ripening but once there formed bruised spots on them.

IIRC, that's caused by a virus.
