Four Season Vegetable Gardening

Tomato plants

16 years ago

I need advice on Fall/Winter harvesting & prepping for the next year.

I have 14 or 16 tomato plants. They're still producing so I'm not hurried. Do I pull them up & turn to mulch or should I put them in the compost instead.

I have Cherries & Hybrids and I let them grow wild.

The answer maybe right under my nose but I'd like to find out what it is.

thanks

I would suggest to keep alive those plants you need most and turn those to composts which you don't need any more...

Simply Judge your needs and then answer would be indeed right under your nose :) Good Luck
