Thread: Perennial Tomato Experiment!

No idea Bren, it's all new territory to me. Mine are staying in the tunnel bed, cut down to the ground, packed with straw & an upside down flower bucket on top. Hopefully that will keep old Jack away for a while.

Try the same Bren, cut it down, fill an empty flower bucket with some insulation & pop it upside down on top.

When I worked in Czechoslovakia (as it was then), I visited a vineyard where they unhooked the vines from their wires every winter and laid them on the ground. They covered them in straw/dried bracken and then piled about 18" of manure on top. The vines spent all winter like this, often under a covering of snow at temperatures many degrees below zero. I have often wondered if toms/peppers etc would respond to this treatment but of course the vines had lost all their leaves before they were laid down.

How are everyone's toms doing so far? The two I kept in pots in a cold frame outside got blight! The ones I took cuttings of and brought indoors are fine. I have one cut down and insulated on the plot. I have no idea how that's doing. Won't know until March!
