Nighttime temps have fallen into the lo 40s, and have dipped into the hi 30s in places. I have about 6 very green tomatoes to show for the summer's labors, which I may need to pick soon--can I leave them on the vine as long as the temps don't fall below freezing?

I'd forgotten about your growing them upside down already. But yes, cut off the stalk and bring it all inside (I have a laundry room with a line and I hung them from the line) and hang it. When growing upright, there were "hooks" of the sturdier branches that I used to hang them by. Don't know if yours will so you might need to tie them or such.

Our winter is much milder than yours, but we do get snow and ice and slush most years. And I work on the highest point in town so we get more snow and ice (and snow days!).

Best of luck with your tomatoes.
