That is interesting, thank you.  I think I will try that with some of mine.

Definitely worth doing Elcie, as they come into flower and fruit much earlier than new plants grown from seed 

I just cut off any leggy looking bits back to a leaf node to make a tidy shape, and keep the plants on the dry side (even drier than usual  ) all winter in a cool greenhouse or on the windowsill indoors (kitchen as it' not too warm)

Give them a dollop of tomato food come spring after the first decent watering and they're away.
