Margaret it is light, very lightweight, and you lay it over your vegetable beds and anchor the edges. It is a little expensive. If you cant afford to do that you use whatever you have got at hand. If you provide a little bit about frame around your tomatoes you can use a sheet or plastic tarp or piece of plastic. If you dont want to do that, you can use a g boxes from the grocery store. Ray say we are getting closer to the hard frost. What can i pick from the garden i have left . Margaret any tomato that has color in it, bring it indoors and in a couple of weeks it will ripen. At the same time you want to pinch off the little tiny tomatoes because they wont have time to develop fully into a tomato you can eat. And then when you have the hard fried i mean, the green tomatoes will make really good fried green tomatoes and they will make great relish or chipotle or salsa. What you want to do is put them in a dry, cool place, not in the sunshine. And make sure they are not quite touching each other. If one rots, the one next to it doesnt.
