Odd tricks

[FatherNelson]

Hey all,

I read somewhere that you can top your tomatoes. curious if anyone does that and what section you pinch at?

Also, I typically pull my first set of peppers off as soon as I can. Its suppose to help it focus on a vegetative state rather than a flowering state. I get peppers into November in Northern Ohio.

I reduce my indeterminate tomatoes to a single vine by pinching off the suckers at each node. Keeps my plants neat and the grow fruits instead of one and more branches.

I've never heard that about peppers.

Have you ever tried cloning or propagating them?

I've found the basic principles of topping and pruning weed works the same for tomatoes..
They're easily cloned..

It's very easy. Just plant the stem up to the top leaves, keep it watered and it will push out roots in days.

Tomatoes just love to grow roots. That's the coolest air layering video I've seen.
