Tomatos gone wild!

[Larry Edgerton]

My tomatoes are doing pretty good.
If you can see them, why do you have to feel them? And if you can't see them, how is feeling them going to help?
I use a pruner.

I'm sorry that you just have regular tomatoes. As I said, mine are out of control and I have 99 plants. Rows are three feet apart but now it looks like one 40'x50' tomato jungle. I can not always see where I am cutting. I see the one I want to cut and follow it down with my hand and snip it off with the knife. Like I said earlier, I don't like using a pruner. I do have a business to run too, so give me a break.

I stopped and bought a finger guard at the drug store, cut the fingers out of an old glove, now I am going to adapt the two so I have what I want.

Thanks for the ideas gentlemen. I am just overtired lately because of work and needed some inspiration. I got it here!

Thanks again, Larry

Larry, go to your local office supply store and buy a box of rubber thumbs. They come in various sizes.

It is also handy for other things.

Now that I got that outta my system, what I intended to post before Joe took me off track, is this:

Google Cut Resistant Gloves. Plenty at Azon, among a jillion other places. Very effective, and you don't have to worry where the blade may slip to - you will be covered.

Notice how it is Joe's fault?

I read the subject line too fast and thought it said:

'Toronto gone wild' and I thought, "Cool, another baseball thread about my new favorite team! LOL...."

Kent, they are also good for your Fonz impression

I was worried about that myself so I was careful to build the house uphill from the garden.

Kevlar. I have a couple pairs of them.

Too bad you planning was only for runaway tomatoes. Probably should have included vehicles in your planning, no?
