In the first month of summer, a gardener can significantly increase the chances of getting a bountiful tomato harvest.
To do this, you need to perform one simple procedure with the bushes.
So, it is advisable to rid the plant of excess leaf blades.
In this case, the garden crop will distribute its energy more correctly, giving “preference” to the fruits.
How to carry out the procedure correctly
You need to remove the leaves that are located in the lower part of the plant.
First of all, you should get rid of those leaf blades that are in contact with the soil cover.
Usually you have to remove two or three leaves every week.
It is recommended to carry out the first such procedure in the second or third ten days of June.
The action must be repeated until the gardener reaches the first inflorescence. There is no need to remove the leaves located higher.
It is advisable to carry out the procedure in the morning. It is important that there is no rain or low temperatures.
If everything is done correctly, there will most likely be no problems with fruiting. In addition, the plant is unlikely to encounter any diseases.
