This is my first gardening experience. The tomatoes turned out nicely. But now what do I do? If I leave the plants, will they grow more tomatoes again?
It depends on your growing season, and the type of tomato plants you have. If you have indeterminate(which means they grow forever as long as conditions are right), and the weather is still condusive to growth, they will keep producing fruit.
whilst they're purple, yet no longer uninteresting darkish purple. purple, enterprise or each so somewhat giving. they'll ripen indoors. So those picked on the giving somewhat degree could have a tendency to get overripe without postpone. i could purchase underripe tomatoes on the save, so why difficulty to p.c.. them early? test with the varieties you planted. you will discover some do greater advantageous picked on the giving somewhat degree, others do no longer seem to enhance whilst they shade as much as vivid purple. i think you will basically could sacrifice your style buds to establish what you like superb. complicated job. in case you're turning out to be salad tomatoes......the tiny adult men.....they consistently style the excellent eaten interior the backyard, nevertheless heat by making use of the solar........yum! the bigger ones do too, even nevertheless that's greater messy.
If there aren't any little green tomatoes or flowers, you could pull the plants now. Then you could plant a cool weather crop in their place, such as lettuce, peas.
Tomato plants should keep on producing in smaller amounts until the cold weather comes. Make sure you keep watering. if you have lots of trusses of flowers, cut most of them off. leaving only 2 or 3. This will be less stress on the plant and you may get a good second crop.
leave them Yes, will they grow more tomatoes Just before the fall frost pick all your tomatoes (even if they are green) then pull your plants out when the frost hits (sometimes you might get a few weeks extra growing time if you cover your tomatoes when the first light frosts hit, uncovering during the day and covering when the night temperature is 40 or below. but your all done when the hard freeze hits or the day time temp doesn't get above 55)
