Should have had ripe tomatoes 3 weeks ago. They're getting a huge size, but won't ripen. Never had this happen before. Anyone know any reason for this?

    It could depend on your weather. If it was hotter or colder than normal, that can affect the ripening times. I found a website that has some ideas for you to try. Click below to see if any of their ideas help you. Wishing you the best.

    I just picked my first early girl tomato today. The really hot weather we have had was fine for the plants, but didn't produce the tomatoes as early as they usually do. Even my cucumbers are that way, I'm still waiting to pick the first one that should be big enough in a couple of days. Despite watering well, I still lost some flowers on all my plants.
