Don't be sure. They won't ripen, but they will set if the weather is
warm enough.

There was nearly a frost this morning. The flowers keep falling off.

Try misting them. It sounds like a dearth of pollinating insects to me.

Well, that wouldn't help, then. Yes, one of the reasons that low
temperatures reduce setting is by discouraging bees, but that can
be resolved only by hand pollination. And they don't set well if
the temperature is too low, bees or no bees.
