green shoulders

encore · August 22, 2015

tomatoes were doing great, then the weather went from high 80's to mid 50's at night the high 60's the next day and high 50's at night, now it's back in the high 70's low 80's in the daytime, could that be the reason the tomatoes are staying green on the shoulders now? the rest of the tomato is ripe (almost soft ripe) even the cherry tomatoes are staying green around the stem . don't know if I should leave them or pick them, no problem with anything bothering them (birds, squirrels etc.) if I leave them. any ideas/ weather causing this? thanks tom
