For the life of me, I can't remember what temp they said. I guess commonsense would say 50's? I live in northern Maine and would like to leave mine out for as long as I can (even if I have to cover them every night). Does anyone have any ideas on this?

What I do until the show's really over is I pick any tomatoes that are showing the least smidge of a blush. Some hint of colour. Then they ripen the rest of the way in the house. Usually sometime in October, I yank the plants up and spread them out on the floor. Some ripen, some stay green. I don't waste much. Cheers, Julianna
