I am starting to wonder if my tomatoes will ever turn red before the Frost comes this year. The small cherry type are red, but not the big ones. There are lots on the vine, but they are as green as green can be. How are everyone else’s?

Mine are mostly still green, but some are starting to turn. They ripen faster with heat, and with the coolness the past few days it has slowed it down I guess. As long as they are starting to turn (as in, not rock-hard dark green), you can pick them green and ripen them inside if it comes to that. I almost always have to do that, it take until the end of September usually for everyone to ripen. Just lay them in the single layer on newspapers and turn them every day or two. Those flat produce boxes that grocery stores throw out work well.  
 
Also, green tomatoes are delicious! Fried green tomaotes and green tomato salsas are my favourite.

Green here too. I always bring in green ones still at the end of the year, they ripen eventually! Some people will trim off the top leaves to allow more light to get to the fruit.  
A few things seem to be slower this year in the garden. We ate the first cucumber tonight!
