I'd read previously that tomatoes won't change colors when the temps are high. That problem also includes root temps from what I've read. My hope was/is that the cooler weather (finally down to the mid 80's from a few weeks in the upper 90's) would make my tomatoes start turning red. Thus far, no luck. I ended up picking approx to of the San Marzanos with the idea of trying to ripen some at home in a paper bag. We'll see if that actually works.
Along with the tomatoes, the Cayenne peppers are also not trending toward red at this point. I don't know if that's an issue or not.
The cooler temps seem to be doing wonders for the Scarlet Runner beans and cucumbers who now have their first flowers.
