Here in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia (about 40 minutes south of PA border), we still have tomato plants, but they've noticeably slowed down in their ripening. I've heard that this does not have to do with the reduced sunlight that is happening as we approach fall, but rather with nutritional depletion. I don't think we have nutritional depletion. I'm wondering about others: did you have LOT of ripe tomatoes in the past two weeks but now LOTS of big green ones just sitting there?
So, it's the question, I guess: do I start root pruning or topping or...?? (putting green tomatoes into paper bags in the basement or ....???)

someone depending on selling them, it could be disastrous.

This is the first year that I will have living tomato plants in Sept. I can
only attribute this to the fact that I did not use anything from last year -
cages, stakes, wall o' waters or plastic.
