Cutting Back Tomato Plant
July 17, 2008
I read somewhere that you can cut back tomato plants in the summer to prepare them for a late summer/early fall harvest. I chopped both the slicer (on the right) and the roma back on 7/13. Let’s see what happens!
You know I have to say it was deeply satisfying to cut these back. I had one good harvest from each which I tried to eat all in one week. It gave me an ulcer and neither plant produced another tomato. I felt I was extracting my revenge. I don’t think this was a good year for tomatoes though. I’ve heard that from a number of friends that are more experienced than me. What was your experience?
