I still have a bunch of green tomatoes. Patiently waiting on red. We are looking at the high to mid 20°s by the end of this week.

Now, I understand the delay on DTMs due to the cold nighttime temps but am curious. Assuming we continue to see these types of temps, does that mean they will never ripen? Would I be better harvesting them and allowing them to green on their own in the GH?

These have already survived five nights in the high 20's with a light frost cover blanket. There was only minor foliage damage.
