ANSWER : A tomato plant will only last a year in most vegetable gardens. The tomato plant will die as soon as it gets chilly and freezes.
In places where the temperature never falls below 60 degrees or when indeterminate tomatoes are grown indoors, they are short-lived perennials that will last for two years. The plant usually stops producing viable fruit by the third year.
In other climates, tomatoes will survive until the frost and cold weather arrives, at which point they will die back. They will not return the following year. Tomatoes are often cultivated as annuals that must be replaced the following season.
