Many people do not wait for tomatoes to fully ripen, so they can pick them while they are still green, since they will definitely be able to “ripen” at home.
However, sometimes vegetables do not want to ripen at all, so picking them is definitely useless.
As a rule, there are some reasons why vegetables remain green for a long period of time, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What reasons are we talking about?
Temperature
It is important to understand that when the heat is too intense or when it gets cold, tomatoes simply do not want to ripen. As a rule, we are talking about temperatures below or above 25 degrees.
If you grow vegetables in a greenhouse, it will be easier for you to influence this situation.
Fertilizers
It is important to apply fertilizers wisely, taking into account the nutritional needs of tomatoes at a certain time.
If you apply too little or too much fertilizer, tomatoes may stop growing.
Just analyze this important point to avoid such mistakes in the future.
Varietal characteristics
Some tomatoes are late varieties, but they will not have time to go through the entire ripening cycle in all climatic conditions.
Therefore, when choosing vegetables for planting, it is extremely important to take this factor into account.
