And my beefsteak tomato plant is certainly looking promising.
I've been torn on how much I should prune the tomato plants, however. My research is mixed. Some say that you should just leave it as nature intended. My plants definitely got large and sprawled last year. one produced well (the Christmas Grape) and the other not so well. Well, it grew, but it did not produce a lot of fruit. I decided to pinch off suckers and a few of the stems at the lower end of the plant.
I fertilized my tomatoes and peppers a week or two ago. The peppers are still struggling to grow, however. The bell pepper is doing much better than my Macho Nacho pepper. I pinched off a flower off my Macho Nacho hot pepper plant - the first one there - as I read that it can divert the energy away from the flower into the rest of the plant. Not sure I'm seeing the results yet!
I'm getting eager for my tomatoes and peppers to produce some fruit!
