Gardening

i've got four 'maters in pots now, growing like crazy: cherokee purple, better boy, golden globe and sweet 100. hopefully, they'll do better than last year.

nraleighliberal, i know you are the resident tomato expert , so tell me, is it always a good idea to pinch off suckers? i've heard that not doing so provides the plant with more shade. all of my plants are south-facing, so they get LOTS of hot summer sun. i'm in sacratomato (hee). no really, that's sacramento's nickname.
