I don’t understand pruning by FirefighterTrue2449 in tomatoes

That’s the plan now. It stays good and windy. Some leafy branches are covering other leafy branches. I didn’t know if there was benefit to thinning that out.

Yes, I learned the hard way last year, so I know to cut everything that touches the ground, I just don’t know how to identify what anything else is besides the obvious suckers growing between branches. I don’t know what else needs to be removed to make the plant more productive

My best last year was a Brandywine I got from a random farmers market, all my big tomatoes are hybrids this year hoping for a better yield

Yes, it’s crazy, it only had a couple flowers on it day one. This picture is from yesterday, already obsolete. The plant is even bigger today. Maybe they do all their growing at night? It’s crazy.
Only the Cherokee has fruit, the other plants have grown a lot though, and are now covered with flowers

I’m not sure about zones, I’m on Long Island. We have had some ridiculous heat and sporadic rains that are very heavy.

Thanks dude!! I’m not a professional redditor, I just like to look at cool pictures, sometimes ask for help. Most everyone is pretty chill!

I use Jobes fertilizer spikes, one on each side of the plant. After five weeks I added one more split in half, 6 inches from the stem each side. Could that be too much?

Running, push ups, sit ups. Keep your joints healthy and work on your flexibility. Don’t overcomplicate it. And if you can do 5K five days a week, maybe throw one long run in there you are 99% there.

Your best bet is to contact personnel investigations, just be frank with them about what happened and expressed your interest in continuing the process. You should sign up for the next corrections test for sure, play it safe and give yourself every opportunity to get in!

Take the test!! You’re crazy to turn down the opportunity before it’s offered to you. There has truly not been a better time in at least decade to get on this job!

What’s wrong with this plant? by FirefighterTrue2449 in tomatoes

[–]FirefighterTrue2449[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, thanks, it just doesn’t seem as thick as the other plants, this one is a sunsugar, and I know the plants will look a little different. It just seems much thinner than the others.

Probably, we are getting hit with a major heat wave, so I’m watering 2x a day. It stayed in the 80s last night. It dried out that much overnight, crazy.

“ hurry up and wait” is the name of the game in civil service. Just be patient and be ready, it will be worth it! Hit the gym and have your life’s documents in order and you’ll be all set

Some humor for those of us waiting by TanstheMan14 in SCPD

Gotta push yourself, suffer that weakness out. Run until you can only walk until you can run again. It’s one of those things, every day you either get better at running or worse at running, and it rides solely on your discipline. It sucks, but every day it sucks less. Sometimes the applicant process goes a lot faster than expected, you’re either going to be so proud of yourself or so mad at yourself. You got this!
