Shatbox, isn't that a bit dangerous with alcohol and flame?

A damp environment is a problem for sure. I'm trying to be realistic this year, without getting too paranoid about things. Was blight free and just saw a tiny bit on one plant yesterday -- I snipped it and got it out of the garden. I know where my situation goes if I do nothing, and probably had a lot in my soil from not spraying in the past. Considering our wet/humid spring & summer, I seem ti be doing something right this year to have kept it at bay so far. We'll see what happens.

I do think i've over pruned, my plants still look okay (if sparse) and will probably forgive me. I guess this is my year to learn to prune for ventilation, which sounds simple enough until faced with a tangle of green and trying to figure what's going on. I saw some videos where folks were not pruning their grape/cherry tomatoes, kind of thought about that until mine exploded into crazy growth.
Now I'm on those "suckers"
