Thx

Hi again
I think it’s too early to know, it’s been a cool spring but the season is really just starting for us here with easily at least another 8-10 weeks of good growingvahead barring any big disease issues.
I don’t generally plant to top my plants or stop watering as long as there is decent weather I just let my plants do their thing. I am a gardener, not a commercial farmer or producer and I plant way more tomatoes than I need so generally by the end of September I am wishing it would snow so I can stop canning. Lol
