Same. How are you guys pruning tomatoes? I have indeterminates. So far I have cleared any growth that’s near the ground, but these things are getting massive.

Mine have been growing tall. I have only pruned the suckers. Starting to get some tomatoes but I have considered pruning those so that it focuses more on growth for now.

The peppers are getting dense but aren’t getting much taller which is why I’m wanting to prune them

I keep my indeterminates to 2-3 main vines starting 1-2’ up. Prune all the rest of the suckers. The exception here would be the cherries. I just kinda prune them for airflow.

I prune the determinates and dwarf varieties for airflow.

I did my first real pruning on my plants today. Cleaned up the suckers on cucumber vines and cleaned up any branches in tomatoes that were touching the ground or making a mess.
