9. That's a LOT of tomatoes!

I'm a sometime-pruner myself (when there aren't issues of disease, stress, etc.)

Because I grow in containers, I generally lop off stalks that are growing too far outside each pot's "zone" but by the end of the summer I still usually have an unruly mess (and plenty of tomatoes.) Will be interesting to see what happens this year as I am growing more full-size tomatoes than usual. Of course, most are NRL dwarfs so they are bred to stay manageable size and so far they are making plenty of flowers while only a few feet tall.
