Pruning Tomatoes for Maximum Harvest

A couple of weeks ago, I shot a video on the importance of pruning tomatoes. My goal is to get as many of them to ripen before the end of the garden season as possible. That was actually step #1 in my 3-step pruning regimen.

Now that we’re nearing the end of August, it’s time for step #2:

If you missed the first video on pruning tomatoes, you can find it on my YouTube channel. I’ll film step #3 in early September so stay tuned for that one.

I’ve been pruning tomatoes for the past several years and it works great. I always end up with a huge tomato harvest! That’s a very good thing since Bill and I love to make our own tomato sauce, ketchup and salsa with them.

And speaking of ketchup, I have a dear friend who loves to kid me about making it. I know, it’s so easy to buy it at the grocery store. But once you taste REAL, homemade ketchup, you’ll never go back!

You can see all three steps in this blog post.
