Now that my tomato plants are growing, blooming and setting fruit it is time to groom your plant for good production.
First, remove some of the limbs without any blooms, this will open up the plant and send the water and nutrients to the fruit rather than extra leaves. We only have about 6 more weeks of growing season so let's use this time to ripen what is on the plant.Once we move into August I would remove new blooms, again use the energy to ripen the tomatoes rather than trying to get the late blooms to produce. There is not enough time to ripen small fruit. The plant will want to bloom, but removing new blooms will help ripen the fruit on the vine.
