tomato help

My tomato plants are about 1ft tall. A few of them have tiny tomatoes that just appeared. Should I pull off the little tomatoes so the plants can use their energy to get bigger before fruiting? I'm assuming yes, but want to make sure I am no destroying my crop by doing so. I'm new to this :)

Thanks for the help!

 

 

Re: tomato help

  • I would advise against pulling off the baby tomatoes.  Pulling the baby tomotoes isn't going to make the plant have tastier fruit except proper watering.  If you want to make your plant stronger, some people snip the suckers that grow in between the branch & stem.

  • baby tomatoes grow into big tomatoes....
  • Usually people have the opposite problem where they have giant plants and no fruit. You are lucky to have fruit growing on such small plants.

    Just let them ripen and enjoy them. Don't rip them off.

  • Ok, thanks for the help!
