Two weeks ago I cut the top of my tomato seedlings✂️ Now I have two strong stems on each plant ready for the double leader trellising and pruning technique. This technique is perfect for southern growers where tomatoes struggle to make it through the heat or northern growers not using heated greenhouses. Note: only use on indeterminate tomato varieties. A single plant is trained to produce only two vines (through early topping) and each vine trellised up a single string and attached with clips.

TOP TOMATO TIPS | Give your tomato plants the care they deserve with these essential tips! 🍅✨ 1. Provide support for your tomato plants by using a sturdy tomato cage. This will help keep them upright as they grow and prevent sprawling. 2. Reduce the risk of blossom end rot by incorporating a calcium-rich fertilizer into your routine. This nutrient boost helps strengthen the plant's cell walls, reducing the likelihood of this common tomato issue. I use Miracle-Gro Shake’n Feed with the red top!
