BRRRRR! I've been covering the tomatoes with old sheets every night. If the weather forecast says , " Frost Advisory " I pay attention. Last year's frost damaged the tomatoes and I simply cut off the damaged parts. They never recovered, however, and the yield was much less than the prior year.
If you can see your tomatoes have suffered frost damage I would suggest removing them and replanting new plants as soon as you believe the danger of frost has passed.
May be it's my imagination, but I think we are experiencing funny extremes in weather and I think the birds are reacting to it in unusual ways. Has anyone else noticed odd bird or animal behavior?
I live in what is probably a similar climate (Adelaide, Australia) and find that plants don't do so well after winter, even a frost free one. But tomatoes planted out in July (mid winter) under a little plastic dome are now covered in fruit.
