Following a really heavy frost last night (-7 just over the hill and -3
in my greenhouse) the tomatoes are looking decidedly unwell. There is
still a good deal of fruit on them, some orange, some yellow and some
still green.

I know that I can pick the orange ones, bring them indoors and ripen
them on a window cill with the help of a banana skin, but what about
the
others?

I'm not into chutney so I'm hoping someone has some ideas as to if and
how I can either ripen them or use them.

Green toms will ripen to red with no assistance; just keep them
somewhere cool so they don't dry out while you wait. My MIL kept hers
under the spare bed in an unheated room.
