My biggest tomato plant broke in half last night. It was too heavy to bear the weight of all the fruit. The stake it was tied to was not tall enough.

So I’m left with a large heavy stalk with a dozen unripe tomatoes on it. I put it into a jug of water. Is there any way I can salvage the fruit on this plant? I am so sad about this. This was my best tomato plant.

Update: Ok so for now I have picked all of the big tomatoes on the vine, leaving them on stems, and placed them into a brown paper bag and into the pantry where hopefully they will ripen in the dark. Good idea? Or should some go on a sunny windowsill?
