The problem with my tomatoes is they are not rippening - not turning red. They are large and there is a ton of them. Can anyone help me?

I second this question- I'm having the same issue. Lots of big green
tomatoes, that have been on the plants for weeks.

When the heat is on lycopene production(makes maters red) stops.

I like to throw banana peels or an old apple or peach near the plant not just for the nutrients, but for the ethylene (banana gas:) that will both induce the ripening of fruit & blooming of flower buds too.

Also the bigger the variety the longer it will take to mature, like a German Johnson vs a cherry.

Hopefully the cooler weather this week will help?

Best, Vanessa
