Just like the post says. I've made a few previous posts bragging about my garden on my balcony. Long story short it's about 10 tomato plants (6x Florida 97's, 4 heirloom) and 5 jalapenos. I started them 2nd or 3rd week of January and they are… exploding.

It was easy at first to just trim the suckers on the weekend, but now trimming has become an every other day activity. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy it, but I think I've lost sight of what to cut, what to leave, how to structure the leaders…it's quickly turning into a mess.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

  1. You mean [Florida 91](https://seedsnsuch.com/products/florida-91-hybrid-tomato-seeds)? They’re determinates and don’t need to be pruned. You can, but mostly you want to in order to provide airflow between them. With determinates I usually prune the lower leaves to keep them away from soil and give airflow. If they get floppy you could put some short trellissing in front and back or do a Florida weave

    Not at ALL trying to be rude, but do want to make sure you know that what you’re holding in picture #3 is not a sucker 😅
