Question by Krissy: When will my tomato plants ripen?
I planted my two tomato plants at the end of May, and they had already been growing. They were about 6 in. tall from the soil up when I got them and a few days later I planted them. It is now June 29, basically a month after I planted them, and they are growing quite nicely. I have 4 tomatoes on one plant and 2 on the other. About how long will it take for my tomatoes to ripen? *1 plant is a grand 36 inches tall, or otherwise 3ft. tall, and the other is 32 1/2 inches tall*
They are about golf ball sized tomatoes right now.

Your tomatos should be big and bright red all over when they are ripe. They should rippen in a couple weeks or sooner. My grandma taught me that if a tomato is almost ripe rap it in a paper towel and put by a sunny window and in a few hours you have a ripe tomato!!! Hope I helped!

I tend to plant my tomatoes much deeper, they do get roots on the stem. The
stringing method is quite good actually. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
greets,
Give them some time…vine ripened tomatoes are worth the wait. However, if you want to speed things up, you can take a store-bought tomato (or any other ripe produce) and place it as close to your tomatoes as you can. The ethylene gas that fruit and vegetables naturally produce as they ripen will cause the unripe tomatoes to ripen a little faster. In fact, that is how they ripen tomatoes that they pull off the vine too early. They place them in a large enclosed area and release ethylene gas. But if it were me, I’d wait a week or two and let them plump up and ripen naturally.
l know the exciting . but you will just have to wait alittle while
