Weekend cold snap + tomato plant

Anonymous
I have a thriving tomato plant in a pot on my patio. It has a few green tomatoes at the moment, and a few flowering buds. But it will get down to mid-30s this weekend. Should I just pick the green tomatoes? Bring it inside (and deal with any bugs) or put plastic over it?

Pick the green ones and put on brown paper bag to ripen or make fried green tomatoes.

In bag, not on the bag.

In my experience tomatoes are done at this time of year -- even if you keep the tomato plant from getting killed by frost, tomatoes won't ripen on the vine. I'd pick the green ones and be happy you had a successfuly tomato year.
