Tomato Pruning

My tomatoes plants are doing better now that we have finally had some rain, but I still only have green tomatoes.  None of them have changed color and getting slightly concerned that it’s going to be a repeat of a couple years ago where I ended up with only green tomatoes.  So I have decided to cut back my plants to force them to ripen.  I ended up taking out about 10 of my 30 plants entirely and cut the sucker and tops off the rest of them.  It might sound a little extreme but they weren’t trellised properly or even maintained like I wanted to, even after I looked into better methods in the spring.  Hopefully this will result in some nice juicy ripe tomatoes.
