Message: [QUOTE="pepper, post: 250660, member: 19594"] I always put a few tomato plants to the side and pollinate them with a q-tip as soon as I see new flowers open. I cut off the lower flowers and wait to see what upper ones look the best once they set then cut off all the other flower stems. I only get about 3 tomatoes off each plant but they are usually really big because all the energy goes into them. But that isn't the same as the random monster plants that do it on their own. I will make sure though from now on I only get the heirloom beefsteak seeds. Thanks for the tip on that, I didn't know. [/QUOTE]
