I always pinch out the suckers. They produce no fruit and take energy from
the rest
of the plant.. I made "cages" out of 4 ft wire fencing which they have just
out grown.
I used long pruned tree branches and stuck them inside the cage, used twine
to wrap
around the plant and fencing for extra support. Should have tomatoes ready
to pick
by next week unless I want green fried tomatoes....umm, that sounds yummy.

I have some tomatoes growing like crazy - including putting out healthy
suckers. Is there any generally agreed on "best" way to grow tomatoes?
Pinch suckers? Tie to trellis? Let sprawl? Any voices of experience here
that would like to comment?
