Tomato plants?

This is my first tomato plant. After the tomatos are ripe and picked, will the plant die and I have to get another one? Or will it get more tomatos next year?

Tomato plants?
It get more tomatos next year- trust me I have one of them plants.
Reply:yes you will. Make sure with your tom. plant you pinch out the side shoots as it grows and only allow it to make about 5 trusses of toms. then you pinch off the top of the plant. Be consistant with your watering and tomato plants love being fed so remember the tomato feed. good luck
Reply:Tomatoes are not winter hardy - so if this is outside, it will die off in late autumn and you will start over next year. The plant will continue to grow buds even as the fruit is ripening so it is not like you get only one crop from it. I brought a plant in the house at the end of our really short summer hoping to get ripe tomatoes all winter - I put up with that stinky plant branching out and I got nothing (forgot to pollinate - no bees in the house). lol
Reply:If protected from frost the tomato plant will live for several years. infact when its a good size plant you can take cuttings from it to propagate your tomato instead of planting more seed.


they can overwinter inside the house but not to well. if you have a greenhouse then they will live untill you decide to kill it. as long as its protected from temperatures below 40F it will be fine. i've been growing them for over 14 years.
Reply:Tomatoes are determinate and indeterminate. In other words the plant will put on tomatoes which will all ripen at one time or will put on tomatoes that ripen as they mature. Growers want the determinate type so that all get ready for harvest at once and then they are done. Get an indeterminate type for fresh tomatoes over several weeks.Water thru the heat of summer and it will put on more tomatoes in the fall. If your lucky you get more then. If not pull them green before frost and store them in house. Some will ripen. Fried green tomatoes, and chow chow. It might live over in deep south but will probably be past its prime.
Reply:Tomato Plants are only good for one season. After they bear the fruit they are done. They'll die down, then u can pull them up and throw em away. Enjoy your home grown tomato cause they sure are the best.
Reply:yes
Reply:You will have to buy another tomato plant. After the tomato season is over (which is during the months of summer when the weather is the warmest), they will slowly die. Tomatoes only grow where it is wam enough. In many places tomatoes cannot be grown due to the lack of sun and warmth.


Plus, if the tomato plant gets frostbitten it will surely die.
