It could depend on the type of tomato plants you’re growing — there are varieties that take much longer to ripen. Particularly if you started them from seed rather than purchased plants, you’ll find they take slightly longer to mature. As long as the actual tomatoes are showing growth (getting larger), it’s really nothing to worry about, and you’re stuck playing the waiting game. You could pull them off and ripen them indoors if you don’t have the patience to let them ripen outside. These articles may help you:
