OFF with their heads!!
 

:shock: Well folks my planting early has gotten the best of me... I always plant early and most times I am pretty happy about that but the nice weather had me a tiny bit overzealous and well I planted up way toooo many. The greenhouse ran hotter then normal as the last few weeks were warm and I pictured putting most of them out like 10 at a time but the cold weather the last week has me in a dither! I am leaving town for a meeting (Orlando) and will not be able to put them out for another week :cry: The last time they were transplanted they went into milk cartons (the paper kind organic milk comes in). Some are actually have wooden stakes to prop them up..... I was thinking about chopping off their heads GULP :shock: :shock: Do not call the the Tomato social services on me but I do not think I have a choice. Last year I lost the heads of my plants in a pop up greenhouse as I forgot to unzip it one morning. Those plants came back very bushy and produced many tomatoes. It just seems so cruel! PS- I have 400 plus babies waiting in the wings for proper time to be put out. What are your thoughts on this?-Rena

Rena, I think topping is just fine (except for determinates). Also, stripping lower branches/leaves works in slowing plants down - for both indets and dets.
