Only this time I welcomed the New York tomato.
My mistake was to plant it front and center on the southern most row with no protection from the sun.

I dont cut the growing sprouts from the middle as much but I do get rid of the leaves inside and around the plant so I can see through the plant.
This will increase bloom production big time as the sun can get in that area.
If not then you just have a bunch if vines growing in the shade not producing blooms.
A mini swamp that is not healthy for a tomato plant.
The ones that do produce blooms will not pollinate as much and fall off.
