The best varieties take longer to ripen!

Yes, it's torture! My heirloom varieties are way behind the other ones. I watch them eagerly each day and their growth is hardly notable. Then I tell myself how wonderful and gratifying it will be when I get to pick them. Those thoughts make the wait at least a bit more bearable.
I don't know, Kansas is more dry than where you are at, so I think they would be behind. Especially this year. The drought is terrible.
