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

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've noticed some of my tomato plants have not been doing so well. It
may be due to the "late blight."
See the link at the bottom for images of blight-stricken plants and
fruit.

NC scientists warn of early tomato blight
Posted: 8:21 a.m. today
Updated: 8:41 a.m. today
RALEIGH, N.C. &mdashNorth Carolina scientists say unusual reports of a
tomato-killing fungus could be the result of an abnormally hot spring.
North Carolina State University researchers say a form of blight has
been found on tomatoes in two eastern counties ? Northampton and Sampson.
The variant "late blight" was found earlier than usual in the growing
season. It can also infect vegetables. The fungus is best known for
causing the Irish Potato Famine in the 1800s during which one million
people died and one million more left Ireland.
Scientists say most commercial farmers are aware of the fungus, but
local farmers and community gardeners might want to apply fungicides to
their crops or consider early harvests. The scientists say another
alternative is to grow genetically engineered, blight-resistant tomatoes.
