Just found the group, reading archives, hello to all,

I have a somewhat rudementary question with regards to pinching off
leaves/branches on vegetables and such mainly with regards to things
like tomatoes and peppers.

Thanks for any general info you may be able to provide,...

Mark,
Just lop off excessive suckers on the 'maters. I have an unusual
garden (mostly vertical in my 280 sq ft of raised boxes) and permit 3-4 stal
ks per vine. Others allow 2-3.
I might recommend you give Mortgage Lifter a try next year. I am f
inding that they are an almost solid beefsteak ... never seen anything den
ser in my life (except for some of my co-workers and all of management)
.. Very small seeds, very small seed cavities, huge tomatoes on thick
vines. Prolific ... I have several clusters of 6 or more tomatoes and L
OTS of 'lone wolves'.
