Will green tomatoes ripen after picking them? Yes!
Have you had your first frost yet? Ours was a little early this year, and we've even had one 24 degree morning. When the forecast called for several nippy nights in a row last week, I went through the garden and picked all the remaining green tomatoes from my plants, most of which didn't really start putting on fruit until our summer-long heat wave finally broke in September.
I ended up with about 40 pounds of green tomatoes, and in just one week, a bunch of them have already turned red.
