I'm in zone 3a and I usually keep my a few of my tomatoes going until close to mid october. I just cover them with old bed sheets at night and sometimes clear poly if I run out of sheets. The bedsheets work best for me though, as they drape over any size plant easily and seem to hold in place better as I am in a windy area of the city. Not fancy, but keeps the frost off them.
