WOW,after reading this, and all the comments i am so glad i live in California. I have a cherry tomatoe that has been continuously producing since the end of June, then some other larger varieties that i planted later in the season all have large green tomatoes on them.

Here, tomatoes are easy to grow. I don't have to worry about it getting too warm or cold, and i know it isn't going to rain too much (hello water shortage!). I never knew tomatoes could be so tempermental. Another thing, most of the time if I keep the plant, once it starts getting warm in the spring it will start producing again and I will have early tomatoes. (but i guess it isn't like there everywhere else)

We have had wayyyyyy too much water this year and we grab then when they are green & put them in a box in a cool dark place and they ripen slow but without rotting. And they taste great!

You are so right. One of the things I love about summer is eating tomatoes that are fresh off the vine. They are so sweet.

And my favorite way to eat them is on a BLT or tossed with pieces of fresh mozzarella and basil as a salad. Yum!

shoot! we had a super rainy weekend in Denver and a couple of my early girls have a split! I guess that means their done for? so sad! I was so looking forward to them on a BLT!
At least my grape tomatoes seem to being still blossoming and ripening. My fingers are crossed.
