A good way to planting tomatoes - before winter

We are used to plant the seeds for seedlings of tomato in March at home. But there is another way of planting tomatoes - before winter.

In late November, I planted the seeds of tomatoes for the winter. I had not planted so, but decided to try it. 4 years ago I had a greenhouse in late October were green tomato fruit on the bushes, and somehow suddenly began frost to minus 6 degrees. Tomatoes I gathered, because they are already podmerzli, and put them on a bed, covered a layer of hay on top of another spunbond. Tomatoes were from different varieties. The following year, in the spring of spunbond I cleaned, tomato seeds shoots. The resulting I threw out the seedlings, and planted in the hole, and decided to see what will grow from it.

self-seeding planting method pluses

As a result, I have not regretted that the seedlings left. Bushes grew hardened, cold-resistant, powerful and does not hurt. Even a hint of late blight was not. In this case, the yield is also pleased.

What are disadvantages of seedling, which grew self-seeding?

The fact that this seedling grows too late. Accordingly, the crop will be late. Seeds germinate only when a good warm up the land, which is about in May. But the seeds may not germinate. It happens that Posada specifically, but they do not germinate. And somewhere in the garden, the fruit of tomato aborted earlier provides a good seedling. Do not just guess. Therefore I planted several varieties that may have something to rise.
