    My tomato plants are grown in pots and have done well all year.

    They have started to slow down and wondering what shall I do with them over winter. I have an unheated greenhouse.

    What should I do

    Toms are grown as annuals, you just throw them away at the end of the season.

      Yeah pick any green fruit to ripen indoors and then put the plants on the compost heap, just cut the woody stems up a bit.
