I've been pulling a few pounds per week of tomatoes off of my plants. This
is my second year growing. Last year, I didn't make any preparations for the
first frost, and I ended up yanking green tomatoes off the vine in the
middle of a snowstorm. They were frozen, and ruined, by the time I got them
inside.

What should I do this year to ensure that I get the most out of my tomatoes
as we lead up to the first frost? I feel like it could come at any time...
is there any kind of hotline?

tomatoes:
