New subject: Gardening Digest, Vol 14, Issue 2 (Tomatoes)

11 Jul 2012

Great info, Vanessa: thanks! I've read that tomato blossoms won't set fruit if
night temps are above 70° and/or days over 90°. So it makes sense that temperatures would
also affect the maturation rate.

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.

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