Yeah!

Staking tomatoes after they have already grown is one of those tasks that seems fine until it is not. The root system of a tomato plant extends considerably beyond the stem within the first few weeks of planting, and a stake or cage post driven in at that point frequently spears through established roots without the gardener ever knowing. The plant may show no visible sign of stress for a week or two and then begin declining for a reason that seems mysterious. The fix is simply to put the support in the ground the same day the plant goes in.

We can always use more cucumbers!

I used to brag about my massive cucumber plants. Huge leaves. Bushy. Taking over the whole greenhouse.

Turns out, the plant was playing me.

If you let a cucumber plant do whatever it wants, it will grow a massive jungle of leaves and give you barely any fruit. It puts all its energy into looking big instead of actually feeding you.

To fix it, you have to make a very specific snip.

But be careful. If you've waited too long and the side shoots are already huge, do NOT just hack them off at the stem. There is a trick to making the cut so you don't accidentally throw away your future harvest.

Here is exactly what I do to force the plant to grow food instead of just leaves.
