Don't rush these tomatoes to ripen, because you want to pick them green-yellow, store them dark, at room temperature in cardboard/paper (an orange box with divisions is perfect) and enjoy them as they slowly ripen to a reddish-orange on the inside (often staying quite yellow on the outside). You have to regularly cull those that go off, but it's worth the trouble to have fresh tomatoes in mid-to late winter!
