The ripening time may vary according to your location. If you find the tomatoes are not getting red when the vines die out, leave them as long as you can in the garden, they may take on a red color or ripened tones, if not, take them inside to continue the ripening process. You can find Heirloom seeds and information at the Martha Stewart web site or you can use your search engine to find other sites that have information to assist you.

You must have patiance. Anything good takes time. Different types ripen at different times, It also depends on do you start from seeds or plants, do they get full sunlight, the type of soil, the weather, do they get enough water and all sorts of things. Don,t worry, they will ripen when their ready.
