Over wintering San Marzano tomatoes?

I picked up a start from the local community garden last spring and said "why not?"

I didn't get any tomatoes from it because I planted it so late.

The ding danged thing is looking just beautiful and healthy!

We rarely get frost at our place in town since we're kind of surrounded by streets and a cement block wall.

Any thoughts on it producing next spring if it survives?

    Maybe give it a dose of "Bloom Booster" by Miracle Gro- in early spring.

    I left my Tomato out all winter and just protected it from a few frosts. It survived and produced next summer. I’d give it a try.

    I bet all my veggies will be gone by the time I get back. The nights have been really cold for this time of year. That means the eggplants, peppers, okra and tomatoes will be a wilted mess because I haven’t been there to protect them. Oh well………..

    I pulled the zucchini and green bean stuff from that bed and the tomato plant still looks healthy, despite some close to freezing temperatures! Just as an experiment, maybe I'll tent it with plastic!

    take some of the branches and cut them and start them in water ... then transplant when roots show

    Well, had other things on my plate today and forgot to pick the cuttings, so I'm now listening to the news and hearing we'll be having the coldest night/morning yet! I might have dropped the ball!
