covering them with sheets might prolong the plant. These tomatoes are too small to ripen after taken off the plants, so you would have to save the plants to get them to grow, if the temps will get high enough for them to keep growing.

If you ever have tomatoes that are full grown but still green, you can ripen them by putting them in a paper bag. I always do this with the ones that are a decent size and it has always worked out for me....as long as I don't forget to check them occasionally.
