Mike ended up picking them when they got big enough & then laying them out in the sun each day (our garden was in partial shade a lot). That worked pretty well.

Isn't that always the way? Always too much or too little of this or that. Everyone's tomato plants have succumbed to the heat by this time of year. I wish you luck on the ripening of yours!

My grandmother had a huge garden with lots of tomatoes and oh how wonderful they tasted. When I was a kid I'd get some Roman Meal bread, spread a little butter on it, some thick slices of tomato a little salt and pepper and that's it. A tomato sandwich....and I wish I could do that now but tomatoes just don't taste like they did back then. I'd pay big money for a sandwich like that if it tasted exactly like it did in my youth.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-87303274118706706802016-08-31T15:34:14.056+01:002016-08-31T15:34:14.056+01:00Some particularly cool summers here produce nothin...Some particularly cool summers here produce nothing but little green hard tomatoes, This year it has been warm, dry and sunny, folks don't know what to do with the abundance of fruit! Mr. Yorkshire Pudding is on to something, though we use plastic bottles instead of glass for each plant, and the chutney is SO worthy!<br />My son , @ burning man frying his skin off at the moment, has become Portlandized, The guy who would never have a tattoo now has three major ones, a weird haircut, sometimes purple, now white, dresses Portlandish, all from Goodwill- so yes, Portland is odd and extremely expensive.BUT, I do love going there!It's its own thing!

Maybe also some butter and/or cinnamon sugar. Unusual facial hair amuses me and I do not mind it. <br />I'm glad you got to see your friend. And if taking French makes you happy, then do it!

If this year's tomatoes do not ripen try making a jar or two of green tomato chutney.

Yes, it would be a pity to write off all the blood, sweat and tears you have already put into the effort so far.
