Question, am I supposed to snap the whole stem off ones the tomatoes have matured and been harvested ?

We just pull the tomato off and leave the stem it’ll produce more

Perfect that’s pretty much what I wanted to know ! I’ve seen people pull them and some don’t so 😅 also, do I leave it all winter or ? This is my first year lol

### Staci commented on 2024-06-18

I’ve never kept them through the winter. We have our garden in the ground and once the plant is done it’ll die off and we buy another one next yr.
