tomato plants?

Question

My tomato plants have tomatos on them, but they are still green. They are not getting ripe at all. should i leave them, or take them in and just sit them in a window sill???? will they ever rippen?

Answer 1

As soon as tomatoes show a color change, they will ripen indoors, but will not contain as much sugar as those that ripen on the vine.

Ethelyne gas, which is released by ripe apples, can hasten the ripening process. Just put the tomatoes in a bag with an apple or two.

Cover plant to protect from light frost, If heavy frost is coming, pull up plants and hang them upside down in a protected place.

Answer 2

I am not sure where you are but mine have had many ripe already. The ones left are still green so I will leave them as long as I can before picking or untill frost. The larger tomatoes can be put on the window sill to finish up, the ones that are not ready when it gets cold are great fried. Hope that helps

Answer 3

Tomatoes are not ripening this year in many parts of the country because it is too cold at night. If the nights go below 60 tomatoes will not ripen. Leave them out until fear of frost. Some might ripen. When frost comes bring them in and wrap them in newspaper. They will ripen. They won't be as good as if they ripened on the vine, but better than nothing.

Answer 4

Make sure they are planted in a sunny spot in order to receive full sun (around 7 hrs daily). Tomatoes need lots of warm sunshine to taste good.

The garden bed must contain lotsa compost in the soil the soil. Make your own or use store-bought compost, and ask them how to use it properly!

Plant tomatoes deep! There is no harm to bury some of its leaves.

Remember to give your plant about 1 gallon of warm water during the first ten minutes of transplanting to avoid transplant shock. (CUTE)... water each tomato plant about 16 ounces of warm water daily for the first week. The tomato plant should be watered 2 to 3 times weekly (so, water each plant with about .75 to 1 gallon each time).

Your tomato plants must be spaced out 18 to 36 inches apart!

Tomatoes may take time to appear (50 to 90 days after planting). Usually starts with small green fruit. Wait until its of good size with a red color (ripe and ready to be picked).

Leave them out if the weather is still about 50. If it turns into the 30s you need to pull them from the vines and put them in a brown paper bag close it they wil ripen.

Why this I don't know,,maybe the pollution or something

Answer 8

They take 30 days to ripen sometimes. Why don't you have patience. The longer they stay green the larger they will grow, so that's a good thing.

Answer 9

They will ripen. Be patient. If you remove them from the plant, they will not taste anywhere near as good.

Answer 10

By all means leave them-- unless you're weather is turning cold (frost). Keep the plants evenly watered . . . and wait.
