I think I am going to try and plant a couple to grow inside this winter, but I am also working on my hoop house so I am hoping that I can keep a couple producing longer this year. One of these days I am going to get my green house built so I can really keep the fresh vegis going all year long. :D

It is early November in Illinois and I did get them in late this year. Still later than I would have liked, and I still have quite a few green tomatoes, I am considering picking them and seeing if any ripen in the windows. Currently playing chicken with the frost.

I am trying real hard to keep the plant that gave me the Finest Tomatoes I have ever eaten alive. In a Greenhouse, Insulated it a bit, Heating it a bit, and adding supplemental Light, since we are up here in the Glorious NorthBest, where Days shorten up to less than 8 Hours of Light in the Winter. We'll see how it goes.

In any event, I will be looking for another plant or two of the "Sweet 100 F1 Hybrid" Variety.

cut the whole plant off the roots and hang the plant up inside the basement or garage and let the tomatoes ripen on the vine
