This is me! I'm a new gardener. It's my second year growing tomatoes - last year they never produced or grew much, this year I have two indeterminates and they've both grown out of control. It's definitely difficult for me to prune when my garden last year barely grew. Glad to see I'm not alone.. it's time to dig out those pruning shears and give it a go, although I wonder if it's too late for me now?
Also - where did you get that trellis? It's lovely.
Hi Lauren! It's likely not too late, depending on where you live. Mine are usually producing until frost (and last year, even survived a few weeks after the frost wildly enough).
Check out my last post on pruning tomatoes to learn about how to prune off the old growth and leave the suckers to become new fruiting branches.
I got this trellis from Amazon! It's pretty inexpensive for how big it is.
