Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

I've been growing tomatoes for 20 years. I prune every leaf below the flowers once a week it increases food to the tomatoes they grow bigger and healthier. I average 12 to 18kg per plant. Last year I got 170kg from 10 plants. My cherry tomatoes do the same and got buckets full from 5 plants

Hi, when you say "every leaf below the flowers" do you mean for the entire plant or just that stem? Are you in Australia? If so what do you do for fruit fly, they damaged most of my tomatoes here in queensland last summer.
I had this argument about pruning tomatoes with others. Last year, we all decided to settle it once and for all. We each grew a plant OUR way. One pruned radically, one moderately and one not at all. They all fruited OK but the moderately pruned one did best of all because sir could circulate and plant energy was not wasted. The unpruned one sprawled on the dirt and got diseased and eaten by insects. The radically pruned one was staked and just kept growing upwards. It produced not as much as the others but it was nice fruit. However, fierce sun burnt it

Your experiment had a flaw in that you didn't support the unpruned plant. Had the other two plants been in contact with the soil, they too would have similar disease and insect damage.

For indeterminate tomatoes, I prune to ensure airflow, remove unnecessary leaves (takes away from fuller, robust fruit), and avoid excessive sprawl. I keep the plants off the ground. My early girls grow 8-10 feet tall but produce buckets. The plants are 2 feet apart. So...this year, for example, one plant has 22 tomatoes developing in the first foot and a half of growth. I control suckers to prevent sprawl but suckers are very productive. I get 3-4 large harvests each year in California. If you do the math that is 66-100 tomatoes per plant. Single stem planting does not ring true for me since I focus on quantity and quality. The idea of planting other veggies between tomatoes doesn't work for my way of growing except in the first month and a half of growth as the plants are small. For determinate plants i prune to ensure airflow focusing on the energy-sapping leaves. Some suckers need to be removed but seldom. Given California's weather I'm able to get a second surge of growth from some of the determinate plants like ace. As always fertilize, keep the calcium and phosphorous feeding on schedule and periodic deep watering is critical. Stressing the tomatoes is not part of my philosophy of growing tomatoes since I moderate watering diligently. Oh, the airflow requirement also ensure access by beneficial insects -- the bumblebees and carpenter bees are my best tomato pollinators. Tomatoes take a lot of work but the end result for canners, salsa makers, and salad lovers is exceptionally satisfying and delicious. Thanks for this video.

I think the real secret is just prune anything that touches the ground. If it really gets too thick prune off some leaves for airflow since you're likely artificially preventing it from spreading out. It's not too difficult to get great results. Hardly pruned anything but diseased leaves off 4 plants last summer just to see. They got primo sun and it was ridiculous how much they produced.
There’s not many things better than that sweet, slightly warm cherry tomato fresh off the vine.

As a novice gardener, I thank you for the focused info about pruning or not pruning tomato plants. So much to learn about gardening.... focused info makes it easier.
Wrote this long deliberate comment about how much appreciate channels with homesteading and self-sufficiency.. turned into a rant. I guess all I really need to say is: Huge thanks for sharing, truly.
2 things in life you cannot buy. True love and home grown tomatoes. Love the channel. Trying to keep the larger variety going in my poly-greenhouse, here in Ipswich, over winter
This is our first year with taking off the bottom branches...am excited to see how well it works.
I absolutely love your practical advise towards plants, vegetables, fruits and so on, you are spot on every time. Being a native Floridian with our beautiful weather almost year round and a father that gave me a love for growing things. I thought I had a library's worth of knowledge when it came to gardening. Since I began to watch your channel I have realised maybe my knowledge isn't as vast as I thought it was..lol. I have learned so much, you are absolutely my go to person when I need help..I thank you for the information about that last tomato plant in this video. I'm currently growing 20 Sweet 100 tomatoes, the size of my tomatoes are very similar to the last tomato plant you spoke about, I believe you said it was a bush..mine are a vine and would grow over my second story home if I let them. I've never tasted a tomato so sweet as these. I'm so glad you informed us not to prune too much off the bottom, I've been taking some of the very long leaves off the plants and keeping them off the soil. Now I know to let them get grow dense so that it protects these very small delicious tomatoes. Thank you so much for all the help! 🤗
You have the best and most informative videos! I can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful information you provide, it has helped me out on numerous occasions. Please keep the videos coming, they are truly appreciated!

Thank you for your detailed reasoning about large vs small tomato's and pruning. In the future I'll change my tomato placement. It's much harder to support the large fruit with multiple vines. Last year I let a cherry go crazy and it wasn't hard to support at all. Seems like common sense now but I didn't think about it like that!
Your channel is super professional and informative, you're a great presenter. Helped me quite a bit over the past years!

That was very helpful! I make Tomato Jam, which is really a sort of chutney, but puts ketchup absolutely to shame. I use half sauce tomatoes for body and half small cherry tomatoes to give it a chunky texture. Your mention that cherry tomatoes are the original variety answered a question for me. Up until less than two hundred years ago, many people didn't think tomatoes were edible and grew them as "ornamental" garden plants. I always wondered what was attractive about big over ripe tomatoes rotting in the garden but it seems likely that they growing cherry tomato plants with clusters of small fruit that would have been much prettier to look at and at least a little bit less messy. I always learn something from you vids!
