Tomato's won't turn red
Hello all, I live in Williamsburg VA and I have several tomato plants that are 6 ft tall, very full, green and loaded with tomato's...problem is they won't turn red , bigger problem is my Golden has developed an appetite for hard green tomato's....Any suggestions are greatly appreciated (for the red tomato issue that is).

What's the weather like where you are?
Here's a thread we had a couple years ago about tomatoes not ripening:

One of the most common causes is temperatures above 90 or so (depending on the variety, some are more heat resistant than others).

Uh Oh, could be a problem. I have issues with squirrels. I have a fence around the garden to keep the deer out, and every now and then the squirrels will leave me a mostly chewed tomato on the gate post. It is like they are saying "nanie nanie poo poo". Well the .22 is coming out this weekend.wmsbgva wrote: bigger problem is my Golden has developed an appetite for hard green tomato's....Any suggestions are greatly appreciated (for the red tomato issue that is).
Just give the tomatoes time, and do something to keep Goldie from them
