Many of you poms have similar disgusting vile weather as we have in NZ (some
of you have even worse) so I thought your experiences would be valid.

I have 3 reasonable tomato plants (summertaste) growing in pots, they are at
various levels of fruiting. We have just had our first day this autumn of
wet and cool winds, it is going down to around 7 degrees celcius tonight.

I have just moved the tomatos into my polytunnel (unheated) to protect them.
At some point I will bubble wrap it, not yet. We are some weeks off frosts
yet.

Any ideas from people as to anything more I need do to nurture my tomatos
alogn a little further?

Hi George,

I keep tomatoes going both in the unheated greenhouse and outside until
frost hits (we hardly get any though) / or conditions just get too muddy.

Just keep feeding the ones undercover, which are presumably in pots, until
they stop flowering / fruiting. I use a liquid tomato food.

I don't think there's much more you can do.

(I paid a visit to South Island a few years ago and enjoyed it immensely).
