2017 Tomato Growing

Are you sure you aren't living in the likes of Tomintoul (normanly the 1st place to get snow in the UK other than on the top of the mountains! ) @Scrungee
Hell that's way worse than where I live (just short of the Arctic Circle according to @Zigs )
We can very occasionally get a touch of frost around the beginning of May and after that we are normally well into October before we see any. Maybe you live in a frost bowl (experienced that which is not fun from a plant point of view) or are quite high.
Despite the baltic weather we are experiencing atm I have a large plant pot filled with 6 of my never ending Celery in my unheated greenhouse. I checked them this morning expecting them to be rock hard and they are still fine which did surprise me.

No to the above but do have 4 Chili plants on the bathroom windowsill which are treated to me in me bath hat most nights.

 

I live about halfway down this Ireland of ours just on the north Wales border, we too can get a frost in may, this year we got a black frost early summer, it killed off all my tomato plants in a cold greenhouse just when they were ready to go outside, we were not worned! usualy we are luckie being between two weather fronts ,but we do get the winds from both at the moment we have about three inches of snow,not too bad realy I just have a row of gooseberries and a row of blackcurrents to m ove to a better place and another 12 raspberry plants coming the week comensing the 15th of January , hears hoping for a bit of dry weather,

 

Last of @"M" s plants bought it in the frost



Not bad in the greenhouse today though

 

1st Jan 2018 and I've still got some of my 2017 toms




Sorted this morning into (left to right) Still edible, For Dog (gone soft, but he still loves them) and For Composting. Floridity toms lasted the best, not a single one picked to ripen at home was wasted.

 

Plant don't look too happy but still a few going here

 

Crikey, looks like you've been getting some heavy frosts inside your van, no wonder your homebrew has stopped fermenting.

 

These absolutely, positively have to be the last 2 2017 tomatoes left

 

OMG how on earth did you keep them going that long? I was congratulating myself that I ate the very last of my Sungold on Christmas Eve $55,000,000 question, did they taste ok or have that wiff of stale about them?

 

Must have dropped off when I brought that plant in during the frost, found em under chittin chicken.

I'll ave em in me sandwich tomorrow
