| g'day Eugenie, i would think it is going to get too cold down your way for tomatoes to carry over to the next season, so for me i'd pull them and as we don't aspire to digging simply break them up and lay them where you pulled them and cover with a hay mulch. if the plants are obvioulsy diseased then destroy them or dump them off site, or put them in the rose garden to break down. in our case we might be able to cut the old bush growth back to the new growths and over winter this root stock for an early start next season, if you have a northern aspect with good winter sun and the warmth of a high fence or house wall near them then maybe this might work in yor case? len |
