Have you heard about the gardener (in Nigeria, I think) who covers his picked tomatoes in ashes? He states they last most of the winter that way. I might try that this year, if I get enough tomatoes and they are not all eaten directly from the vine.

In reply to Kathleen Askins.

I have some thick black plastic sheeting that I use (and roll back up and re-use the next year) to heat the soil and prevent weeds. The thing I hate about “landscape fabric” (if you mean the spun polyester fabric — almost like a thin felt) is that it can sort of grow into the roots of plants and be a big mess.
