					<description><![CDATA[Every once in awhile, you&#8217;ll get two seedlings germinating right next to one another. This can cause newer growers some anxiety. Let&#8217;s talk about why it&#8217;s no big deal! Generally speaking, competition like this is not a desirable thing. There are a few &#8220;clustering&#8221; type plants that like it, such as mint and lobelia. For [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re growing tomatoes, at this point, you should be giving serious thought to pruning your tomatoes. We use a pretty aggressive pruning methodology to maintain growth where we want and to encourage fruiting and ripening within our short growing season. We exclusively grow indeterminate tomato varieties. These plants will continue growth and internodal vining [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As many of you experienced gardeners know, not every aspect of growing is sexy and fun. We try to put at least a little bit of focus on those &#8220;less interesting&#8221; things, since they&#8217;re just as much part of the process. So, today we&#8217;re going to talk about chop and drop. When we harvest out [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For our final &#8220;end of season&#8221; preparation, let&#8217;s talk Brussels sprouts! It&#8217;s super important in northern climates to manipulate the plant in order to get those Brussies to produce! Most Brussels Sprouts are realistically 160 to 200 day plants, if grown out naturally. Even if your seed packet says otherwise! In more southern environments, sprouts [&#8230;]]]></description>

With those indeterminate tomatoes, they&#8217;ll keep growing until temperatures no longer allow them to do so. At this point in the season, with roughly 30 [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since we are on the topic of pruning, we&#8217;d be remiss if we didn&#8217;t also talk about tomato pruning! With tomatoes, we have indeterminate and determinate varieties. (There are also semi-indeterminate, which is basically a blend of the two.) Indeterminate varieties will grow more like a vine, putting out a main stem and also secondary [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We should probably breach the topic of vining cucumber pruning. It&#8217;s a lesser known topic that many gardeners might not be familiar with, so it&#8217;s probably good to shed some light. In a lot of ways, vining cucumbers have similar growing characteristics to indeterminate tomatoes. Despite being entirely unrelated genetically, both will have a main [&#8230;]]]></description>

A bit ago, we talked about indeterminate sucker pruning and growing tomatoes vertically.

Given that we&#8217;re consistently able to maintain 80-85F in our greenhouse during the days, our &#8216;maters are really packing on the height fast! We spent the better part of the afternoon preparing our vertical growing trellis, which is just a fancy word for jute twine tied [&#8230;]]]></description>
