Tomato transplants--snip the branches too low to the ground?
I deep planted my tomato transplants, about an extra 4 inches. this
left one to two sizeable branches (the largest on one of 'em) running close or against the ground. SHould I cut these off? is it healthy to have them against the ground? I'm always finding dirt on the the leaves as the ends of them flat on the ground. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) |

I don't cut off any healthy foliage on transplants, and only prune side shoots on staked tomatoes. Put some clean mulch under the plants if you are worried. Chopped straw on newspaper, dried grass clippings, or (what really seems to make my tomatoes happy) shredded leaves mixed with cocoashells and coffeegrounds. -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Thanks to all. I will leave them alone and only clip them only if
there is a problem. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) |
