I’m sure they’re waiting to start turning until I’m gone for a weekend so that the neighborhood squirrels can take one big fat bite out of each. 😭

It’s probably too hot. All my tomatoes in California are green because it’s too hot.

Because they aren’t ripe yet

Leave a peace offering of peanuts to the squirrels if you have to leave for a weekend. Although for me it’s birds that start taking chunks of my maters. They peck away a hole I guess to get some juices on hot days, and leave 3/4 of the tomato, then bugs get to them. That’s why I like to pick them soon after they start blushing instead od waiting for them to be fully ripe.

Thats sort of normal for the life of a tomato in my experience over the past 10 years, they always take too long to ripen, then BAM, you are making sauce for weeks on end. I am in zone 5b, about 90 here .. same thing

Patience is a virtue, and I am about out of virtue waiting on mine as well! They also say “a watched pot never boils “ whatever that means, ha
