County Extension Director Jim Frier notes tomatoes should stay on the plant to vine ripen for flavor and nutrients. Extension Horticulturist Ben Vance warns high temperatures can blunt color, while advise on refrigerating ripened fruit and July August fertilization of roses and woody plants to avoid winter damage.
