Hello from Sunny SE Arizona

Greetings! I'm very excited to find these sister sites to the Backyard chicken! I'm sure there will be as much useful information here as on that site. Anyone else in the Tucson, AZ area? Last year was my first real year of gardening and my tomatoes were amazing... or rather I should say my tomato plants were amazing! haha... this year I hope to tame them a little.

Welcome from South Western British Columbia! I think we already have something in common, because I had amazing out of control tomato plants this year too. Extra pruning is on my list of tomato-things-to-do once July rolls around again.

DD bought me this great garden seat (w/pockets for tools.) It was great fun 2 years ago pruning up my tomato plants! MUCH easier to prune when you sit.
Didn't really need to do this in 2022 bc we went through a drought. I snipped off bottom leaves only.
This year I plan to try espaliering my tomatoes.

How To Grow Espalier Tomatoes?

How To Grow Espalier Tomatoes? - There are several reasons why growing espalier tomatoes in courtyards or on patios is desirable and primarily because they can be grown by taking up only a small amount of space that is available. Another benefit of growing this way is that by spreading the branches

Welcome from Southern WA. I went to U of A for my MS degree. Lived in a basement apt on Campbell Ave!! The weather was soooooo different from San Jose, that it took me and my yellow Vdub a year to acclimate!
