Default Pick tomatoes green?

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?


Lot's of recipes for fried green tomatoes... and pickled tomatoes are
heavenly.
