You could prune it. Sometimes the tip of the tomato plant is damaged or broken off, and I guess that could cause it to be stunted.

If you take all except about 3 leaves off the branches you trim off and bury the nodules they will form roots at the nodules and you will have some additional plants to grow. I have also done this by putting the branch in water.

A lot of people like to trim off the “suckers” - little starts of branches in between two other branches.

NO!
An expert has told me what I wanted to hear, so that’s what I’m doing LOL!
Getting blooms on my snow peas... hope they’re as good as I’ve heard.

Stopped by the local Southern States and it was out of business.
Surpried to see the store close as it was only built and opened a few years ago.
Fellow there said to take what we wanted of the plants that remained so we got some types we usually don’t (rhubarb for one). Will see what happens.
