When your tomatoes don't ripen
Most gardeners know that you have to pinch out the suckers from tomato plants (left photo). Sometimes it is necessary to do more pruning on tomato plants when the fruits ripen. Tomatoes get red quickly in full sunlight but take a long time in the shade, even under hot conditions. They also don't get very sweet without direct sunlight. Tomato fruits first grow lower on the plant, later they appear in the top. When your tomato plant has formed fruits, you can remove the leaves and branches that shade the tomatoes. Tomato plants are fast growers and they can easily do without these leaves.
