I do remove suckers from the indeterminates for the first few weeks, then I give up and ignore them. After that I use rope, string, strips of nylons, strips of plastic bags and zip ties....pretty much anything I can find to try to hold them up! Then, if they fall they fall. I step over them.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-6700500446291610122012-07-19T12:57:48.195-07:002012-07-19T12:57:48.195-07:00David, I'm afraid the vines will swallow me up...David, I'm afraid the vines will swallow me up!

Although I know it's most likely because the entire rest of the nation is having a heat wave... while we're having one of the coolest summers I've ever seen. I do finally have some green tomatoes on most of my plants though. Can't wait to see you pulling in bushels of tomatoes soon.AnywhereEdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243890948543124146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-26926693990473607452012-07-18T10:26:05.916-07:002012-07-18T10:26:05.916-07:00Your tomatoes are looking great Granny!
