Does anybody do that thing where you truncate tomato trusses?
Not for cherry tomatoes, obviously, but for larger varieties where the first tomato on the truss will wait for the last one to grow before beginning to ripen, so you cut off everything after the 3rd or 4th tomato.
I'm considering it with a couple of varieties from cocktail tomato size up. The biggest tomato in the first picture has actually been that size for about 2 weeks now, but because there are so many other tomatoes on that truss, it's just hanging on before deciding to go ripen.
I think it would psychologically be easier for me to chop off things that are just flowers as opposed to baby tomatoes.

🌱 I once watched rainwater funnel under my fence, creating a muddy mess and threatening my garden.
If you’re dealing with a similar issue, here’s how to keep water where it belongs: • Dig a trench along the fence line to redirect water.
• Use gravel or crushed stone for effective drainage.
