So far, no good

At the beginning of summer, I planted out 3 one gallon tomato plants and let them go wild over the area where the grass used to be. I planted them in good deep soil and let them scramble unhindered into the center where I stopped watering the lawn. The plants grew fast but I never saw any flowers all summer. I have these huge healthy vines now but never got any tomatoes. Now I am seeing flowers but is it too late for the fruit to ripen? Are the leaves going to get diseases in the cold months so that the fruit suffers? I'm not going to get a frost but I'm wondering if I should just abandon these monster plants and sow carrots and cool season stuff now . The only good news has been I didn't have to look at the dead grass.
