It depends on the health of the plant. If it is plagued by fungi, vascular disease, root knot nematodes of some other problem, then IMHO it is better yanked. If you want to try new cultivars this would be another reason to plant a fall crop. Moreover, in hot areas like where I live you likely will get zero fruit, not 2-3, over the summer months on many cultivars. I kept a few last summer and most of them did great. I think BW and Bigbeef were the ones that did well as holdovers.
