I had a second stem to break off. I planted it right away in fertilized soil (3-2-4), worm castings, and watered in with fish emulsion. For 2-3 days, the leaves whittered. I almost got rid of it. The next day it was standing strong!! Hopefully the clone grows well.
Hello Ms, how are you?
This is supremely helpful to my extremely amateur gardening efforts! Thank you :D

I have left my suckers grow as to produce some shade for my tomatoes from the sun here in NC. I have done the single stem before and let it grow tall.
That works.

I use this method in the UK because we have a shorter growing period and they generally ripen quicker using this method plus it helps with airflow.
It helps.

I do prune the bottoms for air flow, and I do clip some suckers as the plants grow. I don't think I'm ready for single, or even double stem style. Maybe I'll try one plant that way, just for the experience. But I do love to see a lot of natural growth. Thanks for introducing the idea. Love to see your garden no matter what the subject is! Have a great day!
Yep. You only do it for need like putting a bunch in a small space in my opinion

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN ikr! If it's good enough for pros it's good enough for me!
Thanks for sharing all your tips, Gary. This year I have three beefsteak-size tomato plants I am growing in large pots. Since we get a lot of rain in Switzerland, and I didn’t have a place to place these under a roof, I covered them with large tomato covers with holes. However, after massive rain then heat, I was heartbroken that on removal there was SO much leaf mold. I had to cut back most of the branches, then spray with the 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Is there anything else I can do to save these plants?
Help! After our 6 day heat wave, all of my tomatoes, determinate and indeterminate, are flowering even though they are quite small. They have only been in the ground a couple of weeks here in my zone 6 garden. Do I leave them alone or take flowers off? I'm especially concerned about the determinate types because they are only about 10 inches tall.
Should be fine. I’m in 6b and mine are flowering like crazy, but have been in the ground for over a month. You may get some tomatoes or the flowers will just drop.
Let the determinates go. The indeterminate are up to you. Either way they will work it out.

I don’t know what kinda person quickly starts watching an superb instructional video that no one forced you to click on only to quickly hit the dislike button. How childish and inappropriate.
LOL I think the same thing. Well at least watch it and decide LOL. Thanks
Silly right, some people have nothing else to do I guess
Welcome to the internet.
I agree. I think of people like that as disrupters. They just spread negative energy. Has nothing to do with the video content, or the host, just nasty people. Maybe their time would be better spent trying to improve their own lives rather than tearing down others. They must be pretty miserable on the inside to be so miserable on the outside.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN perfect thanks. I held out for way to long it seems. I was just nervous about frost. Last year they went out mid April, this year mid may. What a difference lol.
Gary I am growing a heritage tomato called Crimean Black (they go purplish) and one of the plants has lost its growing head (it seems to have fused with a leaf bract) and of course I have been diligently removing all the side shoots. Do I just hope for a miracle, its only got a single spray of flowers showing and the others are about a foot taller now and moving onto their third set of flowers. Never seen this before! Thanks for any advice...
Let the side shoots go. They form new productions stems. Pick one and let that become the new growing stem.

How do you tell on the top which is the sucker? Is it the one that has new growth coming off of the base or the one that doesn’t that is the sucker please Gary? I always end up with 2 main stems because I do t know which to cut off. Thanks again!
A sucker is any new growth of the of the joint of a leaf and stem

@@robertbradley4014 geez, dude, really?
If you don’t mind me asking how tall is the post for 1 stem tomatoes. Thank you !
They will keep growing so you want at least 6 feet. But they will go and go.

Hi Gary. Should you allow your tomato plant to get to a certain size before pruning like this? It appears your plants are pretty far along. I wanted to grow mine using the single-stem method this year and when they were about a foot tall I pruned just the lower leaves so they wouldn’t be touching the ground. I also removed any little suckers. My plant is producing lots of flowers, but looks leggy to me. (It is an indeterminate type). Is this normal or did I prune too soon?
Around this size. Between 18-24 inches. Early on though you can remove suckers with no concern if needed.

How should we trim, if at all, cherry vining tomatoes like sweet100s or Sungolds?
I just prune as needed and where needed to manage the crazy size. However you want to answer your question

Gary - do you still spray your tomato plants with Aspirin spray and Baking Soda spray? I've just started with Hydrogen Peroxide spray. Thank you...
Aspirin. But I pretty much use h202 on them now.

Do single stem indeterminate plants produce less fruit than unpruned plants? ...It seems like commercial greenhouses use single and double pruning and crank out tons of tomatoes.
They do but that doesn't mean you will get more than you need. You can put single stems closer together verses one big massive plant

Why not? I learned a hard lesson from inadvertantly growing a 6' wide, 12' tall indeterminate cherry tomato that was a MONSTER. Delightfully productive, but physically impossible to manage, and crowded out too many other plants (mainly Swiss chard) that I couldn't even reach to harvest.
