In what will become a regular job on the tomato plants, today saw them get some pruning done to help them grow and achieve decent air flow. After working with tomatoes for so long, I know how important it is, but I also know there are a lot of gardeners that don't prune. It's personal choice to let your plants run riot, or you can manage their growth and reap the rewards.
In this photo you'll see what I took off this side of the garden bed, all useless growth which is being wasted by the plants in supplying food to keep this growth alive, even though it's of no use to the plant.
Don't try this at home unless you know what you're doing. lol

After the pruning, I managed to take a side shoot from Arkashin, to get another plant for seed. This variety I only managed one seedling, which struggled to grow, so now this cutting will grow in water until new roots appear, then it can go into the garden.
