If they are in a greenhouse you can try hanging a bunch of bananas in with them, the bananas ripening will set them off. It is probably the cool summer and perhaps insufficient sunlight that can cause this along with lots of other reasons. If your night temperature is dropping below 70F you should start pinching out any new blossum as these will not make it to fruit now and will just rob your existing crop of energy.

You could also try ripening indoors, wrap the tomatoes in newspaper and then put them in layers in a box (maximum 2 layers), place the box somewhere dry and dark then check them weekly, might take a few weeks but they should ripen eventually.

Hope that helps, let us know how you get on.

I have planted both heirloom and celebrity tomatoes -in Chicago suburb this year.I am concerned as I have all green tomatoes!! It is mid August, and it has been a very cool summer here.What is up with this? Planted them June 1.
Thanks!!
