As posted earlier, my tomatoes this year are a disaster. Something got in them, probably brought home from nursery. That's what I get for buying plants instead of growing from seed. Fatal delay?

Question: If I pick the few remaining tomatoes green and let them ripen on the windowsill, will they still turn up infected & inedible? Or does the disease manifest itself only toward vine ripening time?

Any experience out there?

Most green tomatoes will ripen, (if they are far enough along they have
"jelly" in them) but the flavor will not be great -- still better than
most supermarket tomatoes, and OK for cooking.

What happens if you let them vine-ripen? Or are the vines dead?
