Hello.
I'm an experienced gardener with tomatoes, trying this one for the first time. I've read what I could find online.
I still need help - please, can you advise me?
1. Staking
I'm growing two plants. One is in a large tub, lots of soil. The other in the garden.
How do I stake the one in the tub please? The tub is rectangular. The plant is about 12-14" tall now.
I usually use two stakes, and tie recyclable yarn around them to keep in the tomato. But with this variety, I keep reading it grows so huge. I am on a budget so can't afford a tomato cage (live in the UK, things cost a lot more here). I have tall stakes.
Do I use a lot, make a circle around the plant?
Do I use just one?
Do I use two?
Please, help. The little plant needs staking now.
2. Suckers
I've read if it gets its top cut off, to let suckers grow. Mine has the top. Do I keep the suckers? Or remove them?
Thank you so much!
