When will they start to RIPEN?

19 years ago

I don't recall the date I planted my seeds (indoors under lights) and I know I put them outside the first of May -early I know but temps were fine-and I have HUNDREDS of green tomatoes (some over 1/2 pound big!) and my plants are 5' some of them 6' tall! When do they start to ripen for my zone....anyone know???

Most of what i have is Rutgers, Early Girl, Big Boy, Better Boy, Health kick, some heirlooms, Lg Red Cherry and Tomatillos! I know the packages normally say like the "germination" etc....but this is VERY dependant on zone etc.! Can anyone tell me when tomatoes start to ripen for zone 5 or 4...I am a zone 4 but live in the city so they say we plant like a zone 5.

Much appretiated!
