As Father’s Day approaches, I have found myself thinking a lot about my daddy. Oh, how I wish he were here.

The best button ever invented for the Internet was the YouTube “skip ads” button. I use it quite often. I keep a close watch as the seconds count down, and hit the button as soon as possible. Ads are a necessary evil, I will admit, but they are evil just the same.

Tomato gardeners have the same dilemma every year; in addition to keeping the bottom 18” clear of branches, should the plants should be pruned. First of all; it’s not necessary. On the other hand, pruning does enable larger tomatoes, although there will be less of them. Generally speaking, a plant produces X weight of tomatoes. You can have fewer larger ones or more that are smaller! Pruning is said to improve flavor and also helps stop excessive growth.
