I did not know you can ripen them, I threw , I think , 20 kilos away
Welcome Ostara.
When the first stem blight appears (not just leaves) on tomatoes, I fetch all fruit indoors. I leave them open on trays. In the first few days some fruits may show signs of blight, but most will be fine. They will ripen gradually. The ones that ripen first are usually quite nice tasting, the ones that ripen later are good for cooking. Green tomatoes are also good as a vegetable in their own right, sliced and added to casseroles. There are many recipes for green tomato chutney on the internet.
But yes, we all hope for a really good summer. I can't remember the last time that tomatoes were actually killed by frost. Here they always get killed by late blight.
Your house in the snow looks nice.
