How To Prune & Stake San Marzano Tomatoes (indeterminate)

If you're like me then gardening isn't really about the harvest because I'm more interested in the process of growing & tending to the plants ✂️🌱 I don't eat tomatoes other than in salsa 🌮 or spaghetti sauce 🍝 but I love managing the plants for some reason. The daily pruning is just as therapeutic for you as it is the plants. Pruning can be done with your hands or with pruners & will help with a few things - removing old or dead plant material to prevent disease or fungus or pest issues 🦠🍄🐌🐛 directing more energy from vegetative growth into flower/fruit production 🌼🍅 and keeps the nutrients flowing towards productive parts of the plant rather than suckers or offshoots 🌱🌱🌱 Staking your tomato plants is another important part of growing tomatoes. In my garden I am using bamboo stakes and the Max Tapener HTR2 machine but you can use almost any kind of stake and tying material 👔 Keep in mind that only Indeterminate tomatoes need pruned & staked - determinate tomatoes like Roma will prefer a cage & NO pruning 🍅🍅🍅
