How to spend Tomatoes in early care and pruning
Rural Ve Yorker provides practical guidance for tomato cultivation. Begin with roomy sunny conditions, observe growth, and trim as soon as the first flower buds appear. Pinch off secondary stems at junctions to halt vine growth and push juice to fruit clusters, then prune above to leave five or six fruit clusters. Tie vines to a sturdy stake and allow ripening in sun.
