So all summer long, we've had hot, dry weather.  My tom's did fine, =
because I watched them closely and watered as needed.  Now when they =
decide to ripen, the weather makes a complete shift.  Over the last =
week, temps are in the low 70's, it has been rainy for the last few days =
and the sun has been scarce.  Not that I'm complaining, because other =
than worrying about my tom's ripening, I'm very happy with the change.

Will the weather affect the ripening of my tomatoes?
