I am getting black dots on my tomato plants. It's October in zone 6. All year I did not have issues with anything like this. The weather is getting cool. Can I over winter these plants still or should I pitch them?

Tomatoes are grown as annuals. Having said that the record life span for a tomato plant was in Indonesia and the plant lived 7 years. BUT, this was in perfect climactic conditions and with great care. The older a tomato plant gets the less it produces and the more susceptible it becomes to diseases and your plant is already showing signs of fungal disease as per the black spots on the plant. You would be much much better off by pitching it and growing something other than a tomato in that soil.
