When I pick tomatoes, about half retain their stem. They look great, so I've
been leaving them on, but this summer noticed that, as my customers sort
through the pile at the stand, the stems are doing damage, poking the skins
of their neighbors. Is there any harm in removing the stems that don't come
off on their own during harvest?
By the way, I want to recommend Pink Beauty tomatoes. Productive, trouble
free, and a perfect slicing tomato.
Thanks, Richard
where it is October 3, still no frost, and still pushing out tomatoes. "Zone
5" is so last century.
