The plant that produced the early tomatoes overwintered from last year. It seemed to do fine in our unheated greenhouse being occasionally sulfured to keep the fungus at bay.

We constructed our hothouse out of recycled windows from our neighbors, so I can't comment on the type you are thinking of. Good luck, and let us know what you decide, and how it goes. All the best, Jim

my son picked of 1st winter tomatoe yesterday.i just turned the heater on on the greenhouse yesterday-the tomatoes have been in the yard.since you live in zone 9-it would probably be easier for you to bring the plants inside the house during frost.but here,in north georgia,that's not practical-too many days of frost.

I grew them in Alaska in Winter, You can CERTAINLY Grow them
in Ca. You won't need anything near the heat & light that I did.
My greenhouse was a home-built dbl wall 6x10.
Enjoy your march tomatoes.

That is a beautiful color Jim
