Yes, you can compost tomato plants.

There are loads of things that can be overwintered; have a read of the thread below and you can see what everyone is doing.

Thanks zazen - it makes good reading and very helpful !
A bit sad today because we've just eaten the last of our courgettes - we've been eating them since about June/july and and these were some overgrown ones which I kept and have made them into yummy soup!! - recipe off here of course! Felt a bit sad though when I had to BUY some today from the farm shop !!!! can't quite bring myself to go to the supermarket yet though !

Hi Margo
I have just planted garlic, overwintering onions, feltham early peas and broad
beans down the lotty. I have also planted some young winter hardy lettuces where my tomato plants were growing during the summer in the greenhouse.

I tend to fill my greenhouse with winter brassicas planted in the same pots and compost that the tomatoes were in. Makes good use of the greenhouse in winter and if I have too many brassicas the chooks relish any that are left over!
