Heirloom tomato pruning day!

Although our tomatoes are growing in the greenhouses, they were still effected by the freezes that occurred over Christmas weekend. This is mostly due to our greenhouses not being completely enclosed (yet) so they offer some but not full freeze protection.

As they continue to recover from the cold, we go through and prune them for Spring. The fruiting leaders that continue to produce from Fall remain for now, but the apical dominance is removed to encourage bottom shoot growth. We leave one bottom shoot to train into the new leader for Spring tomatoes! Once the top is finished producing, it’ll be removed. It’s a cool process that allows for healthy new growth and production without having to start completely over ✂️🍅

There’s your little farming knowledge for the day :)

01/26/2023

The only constant is change. Seasonality reminds us of this.
