Pruning Philosophy

adewilliams · May 14, 2017

I've approached this years tomatoes with the idea to prune hard. I garden in containers and I hate when they get so out of control that I can barely maneuver past them in late summer. However, I'm rethinking that idea now. Last year, I lost a lot off tomatoes to BER and anthracnose. So, even though I had a lot of plants and tomatoes, I didn't end up with a lot of edible tomatoes. This year I want to maximize my yield, but still have manageable plants. I'd love to hear how other people approach pruning.
