I only have Swiss chard left, and some baby lettuce I planted a month ago. They are growing slow, so I hope I get enough for a few salads before frost gets them!
My Tommy toe tomatoes keep putting out tomatoes even though it’s been down to the 30’s at night. I’ll keep picking them when they get big enough and let them ripen in the basement. I have all colors of tomatoes down there!
Anyone know- if I plant seeds from the few yellow tomatoes will I get more yellows than reds?

Were they hybrids or open-pollinated? If hybrids, it's anybody's guess, the generations won't be the same. If OP, then the seeds will match the parents. Tomatoes don't cross naturally as often as some plants, so while there may be an occasional "stray", the odds are in favor of seeds matching the mother plant.

I just re-read your post. Are these all from the same plant just at different stages of growth? If so, then no. In fact, seeds from under-ripe tomatoes probably won’t sprout at all.
