Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Mulberryrose & Group:

A member of the Mittleider Gardening group on Facebook Groups posted a couple of pictures of his cherry tomatoes, along with a comment. I will post his pictures to the Photos section, and his comments below. You can either let the plants sag by loosening the string, or you can let them turn over and grow back down to the ground.

"A little garden update: This first photo is one of my 13+foot cherry tomatoes. Pruned correctly per Mittleider Gardening Course, every sucker has been removed. Yet I've had ENDLESS amounts of tomatoes. Starting to prep for my fall garden. Loving it! - in Topeka, KS." Joshua Anderson

> I know we are supposed to prune everything like cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. to just one stalk, but they quickly grow up to the top of the string....then what? Do you just let them flop over and continue to prune off all the side shoots? I am trying this for the first time....diligently taking off all the suckers. The main stem is already 2 feet tall and hasn't even started blooming yet. Appreciate any advice. I love this group.
