The three tomatoes I had in my greenhouse I planted last November in 3
gallon pots... I bought them in 4" pots.

They wintered just fine even with all the "damp" in the greenhouse!
They are now blooming and setting nicely. :-)

I opened the front screen door during the day when it was above freezing
to let the house dry out a bit and at night, I ran a single 75 watt
lightbulb in a clip lamp to heat it.

The greenhouses don't have to be kept really warm, just warm enough to
keep the inside temp above 32 degrees! They got down to maybe 40 at the
lowest even on the coldest nights.

My greenhouses are 8' x 8' x 7'.

Hi All,
if the frost does not see them off the blight will. as the winter gets cold
and more to the point damp. I have never had any survive through the winter
even in a green house. having said that the green house is not heated. may
be heat would make a difference, but would it be economic to have heat on
?. it would not for me so I have not done it. hope this helps you.

Are there any tomato breeds that are more resistant than others
to cold weather? I am wondering if any of them could come close
to being perennial, even if their fruit were kind of small, or
berry-like?

That way they'd almost count as perennials.


I have never heard of any that will survive a major frost. Your only
option is a greenhouse.
