FINALLY!!! The tomatoes are starting to ripen!

[Sarah_Mom2Four]

I've been spending weeks now staring out my window while washing dishes looking at my 100 green tomatoes sitting on the vine praying they will start to ripen. It's been so bad I've been dreaming about eating tomatoes 20 different ways. (Part of this may be that I'm getting very pregnant and always hungry) Well friday we went out and it looked like one of the tomatoes was getting a little yellow! Sunday when we looked a bunch of them were yellow! I'm sooooo excited, I just had to share!

I've heard so many complaining about their tomato's not turning red this year-it's good to finally know all is right in the world again. YAY!

I would totally bring you over a big basket if you were closer! I gone tomato obsessive and we have 14 plants that are all doing well! (the yellow pear is 4' already and we have another one -big boy maybe?- thats near 5') Next year you will have tons though! You can have tomato envy and I'll have chicken envy and next year we'll both be fulfilled!

Where do y'all live I've been getting tomatoes for over a month and I'm about sick of them, I have frozen so many I had to buy another freezer Sat. so I would have somewhere to put meat. My DH doesn't want any Salsa this yr. so I have been giving them away and to the chickens. I bet I won't plant 22 plants next yr.

I'm in MN in zone 4. I still haven't be able officially pick mine yet but they are ripening now, should be able to pick them tomorrow or thursday. That's awesome you are getting so many! Will your plants keep giving maters until it's gets cold there then?

As long as I keep them fertilized and watered they will keep producing, they are already well over 7 or 8 ft tall.
