| This is my first time growing charry tomatoes and it seems like some have been on the vine for an awfully long time without turning red. Do they sometimes just not turn? |

| Are they green or are they orange/yellow? Some varieties of cherry tomatoes are ripe when they are orange. If you know the variety you can probably look up their expected time to maturity. We have sungolds and for them it's 57 days. |

| the tomatoes are late in turning red this year. By this time last year, I was getting lots of ripe tomatoes. Mine are all still green, think we need some hot days. Maybe after this week. |

Most of mine are green as well so far - maybe in a week or two. We had so much rain and cloudy days so I think it's a bit slow. Just watch out for the squirrels when they start to turn! They will pounce!

| Mine are still green two. I have my entire garden bound by chicken wire - thinking of using newspaper to conceal them from the squirrels once they turn. |

| By this weekend maybe...it just hasn't been hot enough for long enough. Finally a few of my larger tomatoes turned this past weekend. |

I am in Michigan. Got a late start this year plus all the rain days plus a huge lack of sun and heat this year too. I do not have 1 ripe tomato yet. That's why I am searching on it today... LOL~
