Subject: SNIPPET: Pruning Tomatoes, Like Raising Children
Super Saturday Kindred Soul!
Like raising children, pruning tomatoes is a delicate balance between imbuing them with confidence (the bushy, showy leaves in this analogy), and pruning away the excess (hubris over humility).
Too many leaves can detract from the best tomatoes (hubris); having enough leaves helps to protect the tomatoes for the best fruit (confidence).
