Default Outdoor tomatoes still cropping

: still getting about half a kilo every few days from my outdoor tomato
: jungle.

: The green peppers are still growing (and ripeneing).
:
: No sign of a frost for a while yet so when will they stop cropping?

: I'm still picking beans from my runner beans and french beans, and my
: outdoor tomatoes are still ripening. All are still flowering but not
: setting fruit/veg as there are no/few bees. Seems very late in the
: season to me...

I'm still picking outdoor tomatos. They do have some protection, raised
cloches and protection from prevailing wind. We haven't had frost yet,
(125m high near wakefield) This isn't that unusual in the last 15 years.
I've picked outdoor toms into November before, and last year we didn't
have a ground frost till Dec.
