Tomatoes Not Ripening?

2008.08.10


The tomatoes around here aren't ripening very fast. It's been too cool at night. Sometimes too cool during the day. Tomatoes need optimum temperatures between 68-77F. Things have not been optimum around here. This has been a very cool summer. It's only 67F now.

What happened to global warming? (The midwest is always slow to get the latest trends).

leocheung We have so many hot days here.
Yes, it seems to be ripe to my eyes.

photopoet We've been enveloped in either torrid weather or downright downpours accompanied by thunderstorms. Your tomato looks good enough to eat.

jenjung my parents used to grow tomatoes and they were so good! I miss that : ( Hope your tomatoes turn out yummy! the weather here is unbearably hot and a little humid, which isn't typical.

pzf64 Your last comment cracked me up ~ I said the exact same thing to my husband a few days ago!! Ours aren't rippening either ~ my hopes of canning lots of salsa are quickly dwindling :o(

veganess No, I don't think it just the midwest. I have 2 tomato plants that are full of green tomatoes. Somehow I thought I'd have a heap of them to enjoy thru the summer, but no, we'll have our first frost before they turn red !!! My daughter lives in Houston, and hers didn't do very well either.
