Any gardener growing tomatoes will undoubtedly be scouring plants for side shoots to remove in June. As we all know, this is an essential part of growing vine tomatoes. But don’t just throw the shoots away, as they can be precious tomato cuttings for growing new plants.
Tomato suckers 4-8 inches long can be rooted in water or soil and grown on as new plants at no cost. These new tomato plants will fruit later than your existing plants, but it is a budget-friendly way to extend your season and get more delicious tomato harvests.
