Pruning Tomatoes - Fine Gardening Article

We celebrated spring this weekend by attending the Friends of the National Arboretum Plant Sale, where we picked up lots of herbs and all the tomato and pepper plants we're putting in our community garden bed, and then some.

I am making a garden resolution this season: keep tomatoes to no more than 4 stems. I'm inspired by this article in Fine Gardening that I refer to at the start of every tomato season, but never keep to. The tangle of vines and smallish fruits, with lots of blight every summer makes me a bit crazy. This year, friends, it will all be different. What are your garden resolutions?
