I am interested to know how much you heat and light your greenhouse for overwintering tomatoes. What temperature do you keep it at? Do you grow particular varieties and is it difficult to keep fungal diseases such as Botrytis at bay? How does flavour compare with Summer crops?
I have only grown crops such as lettuce and peas overwinter in the greenhouse and even that has its problem such as aphids being delighted to find a warm cosy environment and food!
