    If the plants are close to dead, you're better off removing the fruit. It won't be getting any value from the plant. It also depends how far the fruit is along the road to ripeness.

    ok, thanks. will have a closer inspection tonight and see how close to death i think the plants are! i guess the sun we're now having may give them a new lease of life.

    i wish the super sweet 100s would hurry up and ripen. lots of them, very light green...

    The sun won't help the plants. The warmth will help the toms ripen. image

    right, yes you were saying about any new growth not having time to mature by this time of year...

    That, and if the plants are close to curtains via disease, there's no helping them.
