Tomato plants in the greenhouse stretched out, what to do?
In early June last year, tomatoes under the temporary shelter survived the freezing and long adaptation to the ground after the transplantation. With the arrival of good and hot weather the bushes began to rapidly grow and set fruit.
Varieties planted are different, some are simply planted for a few pieces, the results are, respectively, were different experiments. As they say, things go and what does not. Certain varieties tied more fruit than others. Summer 2018 in the middle lane was quite warm, and harvest many crops pleased.
But spring was cool and undersized tomatoes as Demidov, Gourmet, still stretched in height. And it's not very good, and I was uncomfortable, because at night I agrovoloknom of covering bushes and the tops stick out upward from under the arches in the covering material. Cut off the crown only in August (a month before the end of the fruiting period), because at the top of the bush develop small green fruits, and they ripen already August, so it is a pity to lose tomatoes, how much work they invest. How to deal with this problem in July?
I tried to tilt the brush in the direction (along the rows), untie them from their own stakes. Ie, I bent a little towards the bottom, so as not to grow the top. Every bush tied to neighboring peg. In August and September of tomatoes produced good yields.
This method can be applied to tall tomatoes, if you do not have a greenhouse (or it is small in height), and you are growing tomatoes in the greenhouse.
Thus, thanks to this method, the crown will not hurt agrovoloknom, and will continue to develop normally. If the tomato bushes were extended due to bad weather, lack of sunny days, then this method can be applied to their beds with arcs and a film cover.
