As an experiment, I spread one shovel full of my compost (which I know has tons of tomato seeds in it) in one bed of my greenhouse in early July (middle of winter) to see what would happen.

It's getting a little out of hand now. Tomatoes are ripening, first one in mid November, and I'm now getting a small bowl full per day. Since they are just volunteer tomatoes, they are a mix, mostly cherry, but there are also mini-Roma, Roma and yellow pear tomatoes among them.

Cool, I planted my tomatoes this year very late due to a European vacation and I moved my tomatoes into my greenhouse, still getting a few cherries a day. Such a treat in late Fall. What are you using for heat source? I am in zone 5 so fairly cold here and 3 seedlings mats are keeping it from 50-70

I don't really need a heart source. The coldest we get here (quite low altitude) is a server frost. My biggest issue I think will be keeping it cool enough in summer. Though I've built it on the South side of some silver birch that will provide good shade in summer.

That's alright, servers like the cold anyway.
