Wonderful, that you have a second crop of tomatoes.

There are a couple of things you could do with these plants, as they should be kept alive for next year.

Tomato plants will root in water, use the tips or shoots.

And dig up a couple, put them in pots, place in a sunny window and they will grow, I had them reach 6 foot in a gallon pot.

All you need to do, is shake the plant, when it is in bloom, they are self pollinating.

And you will then have tomatoes all winter too and be ahead of the game, come spring.

Bell peppers will also grow more than one year.

Over the years, we had better luck with the cherry tomatoes, the large tomatoes will not grow here.

We don’t have luck with large tomatoes either. Too hot. Just Roma and Cherry tomatoes will do well. Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it.
