Question by Taren: How to take care of tomato plants winter time?
My earlier question didn’t get posted! I’ll ask again.
My tomato plants in the kitchen are turning yellowish and saggy,, is it because of the colder weather and lesser daylight? (they are by the window) Or is it something else, like they need something, extra water, lesser water, more nutrition etc..
I planted them from seed this summer and they’ve been fine til now.

Answer by wisebeyond
The plant is probably finished growing and producing by now. We dug ours up a month ago. To my knowledge they’re only good for one growing season and then you get rid of them and plant new plants in the spring.
What do you think? Answer below!

Super video…..may I ask if you used extra lighting for your cam?? thanks!
This is a great idea to do a whole garden row. My dad ended up making a 1 1/2 ft tall wood rail to support his tomatoes and they grew over that! If those plants could have been kept standing they would have been easier to harvest. PVC pipe can be added on easily to adjust height, and broken down and stored. For the planter she made here, it’s easier to let a seedling grow into it, but she wanted to use a nice plant for demo. Fortunately, tomato plants recover very well from breakage.
where you get tray
i really would like some of those tyvm for video
SCOG should be done BEFORE your plant is that big in order to train it into place, not force it. The idea’s the same but holy crap a lil late, lol.
What kind of lighting did you use?
Flourescents? What kind (make, color, lumens)? How many tubes?
needed more info……lighting, room temp, ect……..
Thanks! Very cool. I will be doing this soon!

thanks this was really informative!
hi i’d like to thank you since no one else did people really need to know how to do these things
They are annual plants. One season, and they’re done.
Also, they need SUN SUN SUN. And often there’s no way to provide them with a sunny enough spot indoors – even in a southern window – in the winter. Unless you invest in serious grow-lights. And frankly, they aren’t worth spending that kid of time and energy. Start them early, plant out in late spring, and harvest harvest harvest. Then dry and can all your extras to have tomato products in the winter.
I can about 75 quarts in late summer – which seems to get me through until the first ripe tomato of the following summer.
In truth, tomatoes are perennials. They are treated as an annual because they are definitely a warm season plant and won’t survive frost. There are also what is know as determinate (bush) tomatoes and indeterminate (vining) types. The bush tomatoes bear their fruit almost all at once and won’t produce any more after that, while the indeterminate varieties continue to blossom and bear their entire life. Most likely you have the bush type in your kitchen, so if they have fruited and are now winding down, let them go. Either way, they need more sunlight and warmth than they can get from a kitchen window in the wintertime.
