Where I live it's difficult to get many tomatos ripe on the plant before cold weather sets in. I always used to take the green ones in to let them ripen, and some of them would and some wouldn't, until someone told me to take the whole plant up, shake the soil off the roots, and hang the plants upside down in a sunny indoor spot (I have a porch for these kinda endeavours). When I tried this, every single tomato, even tiny ones, ripened beautifully.
