My tomato plants have gone gang-busters this year, growing huge and producing a ton of tomatoes. One plant has been ripening nicely but the other has had barely any ripe tomatoes (I believe it's a Brandywine). The plant itself is huge--a good 6' x 4' and has at least 30 large, but hard and green tomatoes on it.
Any idea what the problem is? I didn't know if because it's so big it doesn't have the energy to ripen the fruit? We had a cool(er) and rainy/dreary week last week so I was hoping a warm sunny this week would make a difference, but not so far.
I find it painfully ironic that even with this huge tomato plant, most likely I'll have to buy tomatoes at the farm stand for our cook-out on Monday!
