Tomatoes need heat - have your days cooled down?
You can pick them while they are still green and set on a window sill in the house.
This may be neccessary if the cold comes and you have not picked them yet.
If you have a lot, wrap some in news paper and they will stay green longer.

Similar problem in my garden inNewEngland this year' too much rain in June . Late start on all veggies. Start trimming back some of your sucker shoots and some of the flowers. getting to late for them to mature. Get the suns energy into those green ones, keep fertilizing with the water soluble fertilizer. You still have time.

Maybe the weather isn't hot enough for them to ripen. If they don't ripen make yourself fried green tomatoes. Yum yum!!

Here in the Northeast it is just miserably chilly weather.
If you are lucky they will be ready to pick before a frost. You can pick them all if there are frost warnings as long as they are yellowish or pinkish ("mature"). They will finish turning red indoors.

you have to go out to the garden in a bath robe and expose yourself to make the tomatoes blush...if it doesn't work, at least the cucumbers will grow quicker...

Maybe they take longer to become ripe...
