LOL. You crack me up cutting the tomato while still on the vine. Like I joke to my wife about any crazy thing I come up with; "no one in the entire history of the world has ever done this".
Bro here in México not many people know about eirloom tomatoes, so i wanted to mention your channel and if u give me permition i wanted to show in my channel a picture of your tomato plant....is it ok With You?
Very easy..I prefer to take all of the suckers off and single stem to avoid any disease. I grow them just like my beefsteak or any other variety. You will love them. Give em a go.
