Do you guys prune your tomatoes? I just picked my first ripe Black Krim tomato today!

Nice hops!

Yeah, Christa. These pictures were special for you. :D

We prune and tie the vine tomatoes once a week. This year they suffered from blight in July, but seem to have recovered for the most part. Jay used a pesticide-free spray to help them along during the blight-fight. We made the mistake of planting some of the tomatoes where we'd grown potatoes last year...bad combo. Lesson learned.
