Each tomato variety has a time to maturity, i.e., days that it takes to ripen fruit from when the seed is planted. As a northern grower, I make sure to include some varieties that have a shorter time to maturity, along with some of the larger, longer season tomatoes. If we get a particularly bad year, the short season tomatoes may be the only ones to have time to ripen, but usually they are simply the first tomato plants to give me ripe tomatoes for the season. As the season progresses, more varieties ripen. Most tomatoes will ripen in six to eight weeks from when the blossoms are pollinated.
