Can you protect them from the frost?
Probably too much trouble. Right now they're saying 3 nights of frost in a row with the lowest temp 25 F. We had a good season and I'll probably pick a lot of the green ones and cook with them.

Just pick the green ones and place them in the lid of a cardboard box. They will all ripen perfectly within a few weeks.
Keep them out of direct sunlight.
Your plants look great this late in the season. Mine bit the dust about three weeks ago. We had the first frost last night, but it wasn't too bad, about 34 degrees. Didn't hurt my lettuce or green beans.

Fried green tomatoes, perhaps? Yum.
