From one heirloom tomato aficionado to another, I thought I had this. I thought I was on my game this year. But the heirloom tomatoes here at Struan Farm had other ideas, and have raised the stakes (pun intended). Those laterals are growing daily, sprouting like no one's business. The toms must have read my blog last week and decided to toy with me.
Despite what you may think, I don't have the time to go out and pinch laterals off tomatoes every day. There's just too much to do around the property, especially the gardens and farmstay at this time of the year. Those tomatoes know that. I'm feeding and watering them, and this is the thanks I get (it seems they are rather like kids and pet lambs).
They're growing! Just think of all the tomatoes you will have to deal with in a few weeks!!! In case you think you haven't got time now... :)
