Thinning the herd

[Jetstar]

This morning when watering the plants it became obvious the tomato plants were badly in need of removing suckers and low lying branches that just take resources from the production of tomatoes. Along with those benefits the added air flow helps to prevent disease & wilt. This early in the year I make sure not to remove any branches that have blossoms, I knew my Sweet 100's had all kinds of tomatoes on them but when doing the trimming on the Big Boy and Jet Star I was surprised to see on each plant 5 or 6 golf ball size little green tomatoes. All the tomato plants look vibrant green and healthy! Here's a few pics.
