Took some stem cuttings to try and save my super sweet 100s for next spring. I was considering trying to put some sort of cover over the mother plant to protect from frost, but I'll probably just compost it and start fresh from the cuttings in spring. The main plant (~6ft) is starting to collapse its trellis anyway lol.

Have you ever considered bonchi-ing them? I’ve seen it done with pepper plants, and tbags what I’m working on with some cherry tomato plants i got growing now
a lot of those look like leaves not stems. If i were you I would grab a couple of good long shoots 12 inches or so with good growth points like the one half way between the fence and the top of your picture and about 40% of the way in from the left and stick it in a big pot of compost. these root really quickly normally.
Keep in mind you only need to over winter one or two plants of a good size. by next march they will be quite a good size and will have a lot more shoots coming out to use to make new plants.
I dont aim to over winter the plant i want, i aim to over winter a plant to take cuttings from.
