I've never done anything in the past in the way of pruning or removing suckers, which would have been to my benefit in the past. Some of my plants have been so unruly, growing out in different directions without a strong stem and in some cases not adequate fruit. So I like reading about what other gardeners are doing.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533917819185792443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-53232621857825771142009-07-06T12:11:44.463-04:002009-07-06T12:11:44.463-04:00I don't prune because we're so blight pron...I don't prune because we're so blight prone. Sometimes the suckers replace the stems attacked by blight.

Somehow a few suckers snuck up on me and were so big by the time I saw them (don't know HOW I missed them) they were so big I didn't want to cut them off. I planted closer (and more plants) than I ever have before, so it may get interesting out there.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-88770064452606279902009-07-05T10:37:53.331-04:002009-07-05T10:37:53.331-04:00I begin the season with diligent pruning, then ten...I begin the season with diligent pruning, then tend to start putting it off, and end up forgetting about it all together....it's a jungle out there! I strolled by my plants the other day and counted 154 (green) tomatoes. That was just glancing at the fronts of plants, and didn't include cherry tomatoes. I sometimes think they will never ripen, but I'm sure when they do it will be all at once and I'll be overwhelmed...and canning like mad!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-10358787001225673652009-07-05T04:26:54.142-04:002009-07-05T04:26:54.142-04:00Won't be long now and those tomatoes will be r...Won't be long now and those tomatoes will be red-e for the picking:)tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-51221950120756254292009-07-05T03:53:03.271-04:002009-07-05T03:53:03.271-04:00Yes! they just go crazy when your back is turned a...Yes! they just go crazy when your back is turned at this time of year. I think I go over my tomato plants regularly and take off the side shoots, but it amazes me how many I must miss that grow up to be giant shoots!Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-32678455792909863332009-07-05T00:13:25.579-04:002009-07-05T00:13:25.579-04:00I like how you put flowers in the tops of the toma...I like how you put flowers in the tops of the tomato planter.

We have had some warm weather again, and I am hopeful that the first tomatoes will finally start ripening as a result.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
