Pull the tomato plants or wait?

Bulldog · August 26, 2016

Usually I give up on the tomato plants due to squirrels, disease etc, and pull them. It will start getting cooler <90 here in GA soon. Do you think any of my plants that still look decent will set more fruit as the temps go below 90 enough to justify not pulling them? Will they be able to ripen? Several of the plants have new growth. I haven't gotten any tomatoes over the last month except a few matts wild cherry and a rare sungold. Squirrels get them all green before even a blush.

I do need to make room for fall planting sometime.

Thanks
