Vegetable garden

Just pulled three tomato plants out. This is what I did ended up with. Still have 6 more to pick

Okay, I have a stupid question for the horticulturists here.

Disclaimer: I suck at gardening, I don't eat tomatoes, so I wouldn't even have started this project on my own.

According to the tag that came with the nursery plants, these are Roma tomatoes. I just harvested the last viable tomato off these plants, and for the most part there's just duds and dead or dying leaves.

However, I have noted that there are new leaves and stems popping up on some of the old stems.

Since these are potted plants, and could be moved indoors, would they regenerate themselves and produce another crop next season, or are they just making a desperate gasp?

I'm going to bring the parsley and chives in, they should persist. I remember my parents had a hotbox which was effectively a mini greenhouse and we had parsley and chives all year long.

The Germainiums are about three years old now, and they persist. Although they're not so pretty anymore.

Some things do okay. Some are victims of the brown thumb.

Thanks for any help. I'd really hate to try to tend these things through the winter just to have them die anyway. If that's how this all ends anyway, I'm losing composting time.

Tomatoes are done. Parsley can go in greenhouse. Chives come back every year so you can leave them out or put in greenhouse
 
I have been finding through the years the items I plant with my own seeds do very well and most vegetable plants I purchase from nursery’s are labeled incorrectly producing types of peppers and tomato I was not targeting..

It’s hit or miss, I never had a harvest better of garden center zucchini plants ever but the cucumber that typically grows rampant, did not this year.

I need to scale back next year and do more fishin.

I got almost no cucumbers this year, a insect bored into almost every fruit 🥵
