  <itunes:subtitle>One way to increase your tomato production is by pruning tomatoes.  In this episode, I am going to discuss how to prune tomatoes to improve the health of your plants and to grow more tomatoes.  Buckle up, buttercup, because we are going to talk about aggressively pruning those plants!</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Today’s podcast, post and YouTube videos are particularly timely.  In the Small Scale Life Facebook Group, our friend and new gardener Alex has a great question:
“My tomatoes are so out of control and are completely shading my peppers. I have at least 10 peppers that have stopped growing and those are my favorite.  Can I cut back the tomatoes? Can I attempt transplanting the peppers? At this rate the peppers are not going to grow so these are my only two options besides just pulling them.” – Alex from Illinois.
There is no need to pull the peppers!  I think we can figure out a way to aggressively prune tomatoes and get more sunlight to those peppers.
Be advised: by aggressively pruning, you will get more tomatoes from your plants!  I think you can handle it though.
