Sauces.
@bigpawbullets How about some fried green tomatoes?
The Science is clear; fi you let the plants "run amuck" you won't get fruit....or you'll get small, easily diseased fruit.

You're such a task manager!!!
@bigpawbullets I've learned the hard way; Tomatoes, more than any other veggie, needs trimming to grow big fruit. Those images show very overgrown plants...I want them to have bigger fruit!!!
@Robecology
Ok ok. .. tomorrow.... we trim.... <sharpening chain saw>.....
@bigpawbullets NOOOOOO! Shears! Snips! lots of little cuts! Let me find and share a guide....
When you support them and train the leaves when the plant grows, they will grow to 9 or 10 feet tall or more. What variety of Tomatoes? I grow heirloom black tomatoes exclusively now, as I find them the most delicious of any I have ever grown.

I'll take a pic of some ripe ones Walt. They may be the same. I tried one this evening. Amazing flavor.
@bigpawbullets Look forward to the pictures. If they are different from mine, I would be glad to share some sees with you.
Critters seem to have gotten to my first ripe tomatoes, but I have lots of green ones out there... I'm sure I will get some of them.
