Pruning Fertilizing & Mulching My Tomatoes

[TigersAU777]

Sounds delicious! All I plant is tomatoes due to the massive difference between home grown and store bought. My tallest tomato

[TigersAU777]

Is about 8ft tall now though....German Johnson

This is my first year doing all heirloom tomatoes. German Pink, in the hoop house, 5 Brandy Wine , and 5 Cherokee Purple, in outside beds. Brandy Wine is the only heirloom I've tasted, so I'm excited to pick and eat my first one of the others. I'm not familiar with these varieties, so I'm not sure how tall they get, but based on their late March sowing date, it appears they will reach the hoop house struts before seasons end.

AVRDC has this .pdf on pruning and staking for market tomatoes
on indeterminates:

(These are grown in hot weather, where sunscald of the fruit is an
important concern. They suggest a certain number of clusters per
plant, with 4 fruit per cluster.)
