Re: Pruning tomatoes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Ah, good point. I have been just creatively bending the branches up, down, and 
around to make them fit. My tomatoes are in the back of my garden, so they are 
free to hang out behind the trellis. We had a violent windstorm here a couple 
weeks ago that pruned a couple branches for me, and it didn't seem to slow down 
the plants any.

My plants are all about 3' tall now, so yours sound like they are doing 
wonderfully!
