I'm so glad you provided a video on this subject of how to prune/ pinch out suckers on tomatoes! I never knew that this needed to be done. I usually plant just two tomato plants each year, in big pots, on my deck. And it wasn't until my father-in-law asked me if I pinch the branches/suckers. And I said no I don't, I didn't know you were supposed to be doing that. Well, now I see first-hand how to do it. Thanks so much for sharing this information. By the way, all the branches that you cut off, can you put that tomato foliage in the compost bin? A lot of good green material there, shame to let it go to waste!

Hi Laura: I wanted to tell you that my husband and I really enjoy watching your videos. In a world of chaos and uncertainty, watching one of your videos per day to learn tips that we can apply in our garden is something we look forward to. We have found your tomato plant pruning tips very helpful. Could you go a video on how to care and prune pepper plants? Ours were doing well, but are struggling now and we cant tell if its because of the heat or something Im doing wrong.

Hi Laura! This was so helpful! I've been looking at my 4 tomato plants and thinking that I really need to prune the 2 bigger ones, a Cherokee Purple and Park's Whopper Improved. The 2 cherry tomatoes are still looking ok. I've never done this before so fingers crossed! I'll probably start out going easy, then see how they look later on. Your tomatoes are looking so good! That was so sweet of Aaron and Benjamin to bring you water and extras. Thank you so much for sharing!

My sister teases me for growing the itty bitty ones to eat. She grows the big beefy ones and I grow cherry types. or the ones that are just hand palm sized. A few years back I grew 18 different varieties, most of which were cherries. Spoon is tiny like Current, size of a pea, grows pretty feral (we had everything in pots, it was amazing to see it turn into this wild bush) and for such a teeny tiny fruit the flavor was SO huge. man I love that itty bitty tom.

What a big job! Thanks for taking us along with you as you tackle it! Love that you sat and ate that tomatoe right in the garden. and it looks like you were giving thanks! On another note, does anyone deal with tomatoe hornworms? I've had 9 so far this year. That may not seem like a lot. I've got 6 tomatoe plants and 6 eggplants and they love both. I've got them interplanted with basil and marigolds. Any suggestions on how to prevent them?

Hi! My name is Stefanie from Omaha, NE.
I have 12 indeterminate tomatoes and have been pruning once a week on average since they were planted 5/31 (bought from Lowe's since I didn't have everything I needed to seed indoors this year. This is my first year growing ANYTHING. I enjoy learning how to properly work my garden from watching your informative videos.
Congratulations on the new family edition by the way!

This video has been so helpful. I ran right out and trimmed up my tomato plants and next year, I will focus my minimal planting area on Indeterminate tomato varieties. One year I literally just bought some tomato seeds from the Dollar Tree to plant along my fence and they grew great, but this year (2020) everyone was buying up all the seeds and gardening stuff from the Dollar Tree and I was too late.

Please help. I planted tomatoes from seeds that I collected from supermarket tomatoes so I don't know what type they are. After four months they're still tiny plants with no fruit or flowers.
I also bought plants from the supermarket, and they're growing really well but their tomatoes have been green for several months now. When should they be turning red?

I have been gardening for over 24+ years and I don't HAVE this kind of problem with weeding, stressing my plant out, suckers, Composting, Synthetic Vs. Organic Fertilizers or none of that crap. I really cannot believe that people are still out here with FALSE information. They get a few tips from someone else and NOW think they are a GURU at Gardening. SMH --'
