I live in PA too, although in north-central PA - in the
Northern Tier. We had an incredibly cold wet spring, and
we've had a very wet summer, and cool for the most part.
I also have zillions of green tomatoes on incredibly huge,
lush, healthy plants. One of the cherry tomatoes (caged) is
threatening to break it's *rebar* support stakes....
My Early Girls have FINALLY started to ripen and we've had
a few ripe Sweet Million cherries. But - considering that I
got them transplanted out into the garden way early, and
they were very large plants by then - this is incredibly
late.
I'm disappointed in the taste of both the Early Girls and
the Sweet Millions - blah, boring, and bland. I don't know
if this is the excessive water they've received, or it's
their nature. But I don't think I'll grow either one again.
I'm growing Better Boy for the 'big' tomato this year: none
ripe. Maybe there won't be any ripe before frost (the first
week in October in this area).
