Don’t prune your suckers! You can get SOOOO much more fruit if you leave them

Here’s why I keep the suckers:
🍅I like more fruit, not bigger fruit
🍅larger fruit is more likely to not survive in my garden 😫
🍅I like really bushy vines crawling up the arch trellis
🍅I tried it and it worked so well I didn’t want to go back
The good news?
There’s no wrong way to do it-
Pinch the suckers if you want bigger fruit, keep the suckers if you want more fruit.
Or try both and see which method you prefer!

I used your method this year and have a load of tomatoes, even in this ridiculous heart we're having.

Hmm interesting! So its getting what it can from the small leaves on top after you take those other leaves off below the suckers?

I had never pinched off suckers and my tomatoes (in rows of six to 12 in a 12' row) and my tomatoes bush out like a hedge!

I started doing this because I trust you 🤣… I do still root a few suckers and have new plants!

This is the first time I have ever heard this recommendation. Nice!!!!

[@FITLify]

I will have to try this! Bc like you I want more not bigger! 😊

I do the same thing and grow so many tomatoes I can’t keep up with them.

[@maryjflanagan1922]

I do the same.

[@jessicajacobs2109]

I do the same! I want tomatoes not leaves!

Are cucumbers similar to prune?
