We had a killing freeze last weekend, everything in my high tunnel came through the cold just fine. I am >picking a good quantity of cherry tomatoes. The problem is my big tomatoes aren't turning.

Tighten things up and add a heater.

Here at 45 degrees north we had light enough to ripen tomatoes to Thanksgiving, and at about that time we were using a dollar of fuel for a dollar to tomatoes so it was time to shut down.

Use a vented heater so that you dont make fuel glazed fruits, and good luck!
