Pruning Tomatoes

In today's Fine Gardening newsletter, it points to an article and video on how to properly prune and train tomatoes to increase yields. Rather than letting tomato plants spread, the suggestion is to properly prune and stake the tomato plants as a single stalk. This approach suggests that the plant will produce larger and earlier crops than when left in a prostrate form. By staking and growing the tomato plants vertically, this allows for more plants in the the same space. Article and video can be found at the Fine Gardening site>
