2017 Gardenening without much experience
This year i start from seeds whit 15 varieties of tomato, everything went well (germination, transplantation etc), but I made a big mistake when i start preparing them for acclimatization, it's was a sunny day, I took them outside and when i came back from work, total disaster, 90% of my seedlings where burned by the Sun..
I managed to save only a few of them, the rest i the rest I bought from a noursery. The list of what I have in the garden right now: Inima de Bou (Heart of Ox) - nursery Aurora- nursery Buzau 50 - nursery Japanese Black Trifele Pomodoro di Sorento Cherry black Cherry Red Green vernisage I am very pleased withBuzau 50 (Romanian heirlom made by a Research Institute) Last picture is whit Japanese Black Trifele |

Randall, I noticed that you cut the leaves at the base of the tomato.
Should I remove them as in the photo? |

Good housekeeping is bare stem to the first cluster, or the split if running more than 1 stem. Leaves close to the ground picking up soil borne disease from water splash is probably the biggest reason. They're not needed photo-synthetically or for fruit shading, and are basically excess baggage using up nutrients and attracting insects and disease.

Not Randall, but I've seen Randall's work and I believe that's how he does it also. You've got a very nice garden Gin, the plants looks great and you've taught me to leave my cloth strips longer and use slip knots. I got stakes like yours, I wanted red ones like Randall's and may paint some over the Winter.

Exactly what Ricky said
The ones you've marked would be the right ones to get rid of. I like the idea of slip knots, also. |
