Why are my tomatoes as green as grass, and are not ripening? I have four plants that are loaded but not ripening. A gardener at the local farmer's market said his were the same. He blames the high humidity we endured for a couple months. I'm thinking if that is so, they would never ripen in Ontario! |

This year 2014 was bad for not ripening. Cool nights were to blame. Th quality was excellent but the quantity was poor. This situation is rare in my experience. I got plenty for the table but production was about 1/5 of a good year. |

Same here. Just the year. I ripen them on my counter. Do not put them on the windowsill. |

My mother used to ripen them in newspaper. I'm thinking in about another two weeks I'm going to have to do that. If I was really energetic I could make green tomato pickle ~ but I'm not! |

Lucky you who have some to ripen. This is the first year that, not only have I not had them ripen, but I have had very few to even ripen. From what I've heard all around, it was not a good year for tomatoes anywhere. |

Oh no---they are very good here in the Wack. Exceptionally good as often we get an early blight with all the rain. I am getting offered juicy ripe tomatoes and have had to turn down some as it was to many laugh123 |
