To pinch or not to pinch?
« on: July 23, 2012, 19:15 »
Got myself confused as to whether I need to pinch out any sideshoots which my tomato plants may deign to produce  ::)

I have:

Inca
Roma
Tigerella
Black Krim
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Ok here goes

Inca is a bush variety
Roma is a semi-bush
Tigerella and Bliack Krim  are cordons
 

Pinch out the last two and tie up the others as best you can with sting and canes around them

 Hope that helps  :D
