The huge tomato plants don't produce as many tomatoes. In essence, the plant can either grow stems and leaves or tomatoes. If you cut back the plant you may have a better chance of getting some tomatoes before it gets cold.


Thanks for the advice. I'll give that a try, nothing to lose, that's for sure. My supports collapsed about 3-4 weeks ago and now, where the stems of plants have been lying on the ground, they're starting to set roots. I've read that's not good. Next year I'll do better!

The guy that taught me how to make these pickles really did that. He'd come by every summer and offer a few free samples, and after you had a taste it was only a few days before the cravings for more started creeping into your dreams. Back then (20 years ago) he sold them for $20 a gallon, and couldn't keep up with the demand!
