I have loads of green tomatoes on my long-season indeterminate heirloom vines. And, every day, some are turning various stages of blush to red. But, I know that my DTMs on these varieties AVERAGE 90-120 days, so, when I get impatient and start to wondering, I just have to remind myself that my projected harvest date is mid-June to July 15th! Then, I settle down, and remember to thank God for the ones that ripened early! Hugs! ^ Linda |
