Holy cow that's a big tomato plant. Is that cherry, grape, or roma?

The plant in front of me is a Roma---I bought 6 different type of plants this year and kinda lost track of who's who.

Gary, we do the opposite here. My mom "snips" the excess leaves and keeps the plant low. Still gets an abundance of tomatos. This is done because she doesn't own "forty acres".

Heck ----if I would know they where going to do this I would of been out there with a chainsaw.
We have plenty of space and two gardens----I am thinking this will be a good year to fill the deep freeze up.

this is the general method that I follow, removing all the excess foilage allows the plant to put more energy into fruit production instead of growing useless leaves. Anything below a fruit cluster is removed. I harvested over 50 lbs of tomatoes from 4 plants last year using this pruining method and growing them in DIY earthboxes.
I don't can, so that was a lot of salsa! :biggrin:
