Tomatoes

I haven’t mentioned much about the tomatoes this year yet.  The tomato plants are big and bushy but there aren’t a ton of tomatoes on them.  I missed my chance while I was out in Calgary to tie the plants up before they fell over.  Once they hit the ground and started to grow up wards again my 4 foot row spacing became zero.  The only plants that are actually growing up instead of out are the cherry tomatoes in the trellis.  Now it is my own fault for not properly tying them or pinching off the suckers, but I do not want a repeat of 2 years ago.  A couple years ago when my tomatoes went nuts I had a bushel from 2 plants and they were all green.  They were all covered my leaves and never ripened up.

I'm going to give them until next week and then start to cut the plants back hard to hopefully force them to ripen up.  will have to take a look to see what the proper way to do this is, but green tomatoes are not what I envisioned in March when I was planning my garden.
