Can you "cut back" your shabby summer tomato plants so they can grow back in the Fall?
Where do you live?..if you live in a warm climate them yes you can cut them back..but if you live in a cold climate then no they will die off..they need bees to pollinate them to produce more flowers and fruit..they will only taste like a winter tomato if you take them inside if you can even get them to bloom..I grew 55 tomato plants this year and i babied them..some are over 7 feet..and i had tomato's that weighed almost a pound a piece..don't worry about the how tall they are..give them some miracle grow if they aren't producing tomatoes..if you are wanting them for the next growing season just wait til march and start some more by seed inside then they will be big in the spring..but they are annuals..you can also lay the old rotting tomatoes on the ground and they will reseed them selves for next year..i do this alot of the time..
Reply:No honey, Tomato plants are annuals which mean they only come up and produce once, unless you have them in a greenhouse or in a warm, humid conditions they will die out eventually anyway. Best to start fresh next year. But good luck if any of it grows back
Reply:Tomato plants can't live in the cool weather. If you bring them inside they have a chance but not in the garden.
Reply:I would cut it back, I cut my tomatoes back throughout the summer. You could also cut off the healthiest looking part and just replant it, within a few weeks it will be rooted and you will have a new plant. In the winter I cut off some of my cherry tomatoes and bring them inside. It is great to have your own tomatoes in the winter, however it seems like more work that the garden.
