I tried searching for it to no avail, it seems from the grow diaries I've seen that people seem to cut the whole plant down, and that doesnt seem healthy for a return next spring. Can it survive cold snowy winters and come back the next year? Also, I'm not looking for a huge yield or anything the first year (if they come back that is) so would planting in the end of june/very begining of july be that terrible? I'm using a bag of Early Special which contains Siberian Ruderalis genes. It's supposed to be a fast grower. Also, this question I didn't search for but I figure since I'm posting this thread anyway might as well save me some time. How long are seeds supposed to last?
My tomato plants come back the next year but I think it s from a tomato falling to the ground and the seeds go dormite. I planted two tomato plants this year and 5 plants are up and growing. So can they trseed themselves? Why couldnt youdrop your seeds in the ground at the endd of the year and see if they;ll sprout in the spring. I can't try because we don't get snow here.
Tomatoes are also annuals, the seeds produce totally new plants the next year. That is how the plants continue in nature.
