have had fruits on my tomato plants for a long time now, what will happen if the weather doesnt warm up will they ripen they are all outdoors?
It is more likely if it stays wet and cool that the tomatoes will just rot.
if there in a greenhouse (cold ) and the temp stays around 17 degrees wouldnt that be enough as my greenhouse seems to be constant 17 latly and i cant stop them growing there shooting everywhere
sadly no green house so they are on their own in the garden :'(
We're still quite early in the season as far as tomatoes are concerned. I've just started picking an early variety (Bloody Butcher) from my un-heated greenhouse; I wouldn't expect the bulk of them (Shirley) to be ready until the end of the month; outdoor varieties are ready in August & September.
The main problem with outdoor tomatoes isn't rotting or failure to ripen, but blight. Check the weather forecasts, but if it warms up next week it might be a good idea to spray.
(And if you've still got unripe fruit at the end of the season, pick them and leave them to ripen in a cool room; my mother kept herself in home-grown tomatoes till Christmas by doing that!)
im going away for 2 weeks in august bet your bottom dollar everything starts to ripen then lol still the house and bird sitter will eat well ;D
