I suggest you harvest your tomatoes and put them in a drawer/box with a
banana. The ethylene (sp?) gas given off by the bananas will encourage
the
tomatoes to ripen. If you leave them outside 'on the vine' in wet weather
you are risking blight.

Thanks Spider. I do know about the banana/ethylene thing The tomatoes
are in upright cold frames. Would you still take them in?
