I'm curious to get a sampling of perspectives about pinching back
side-shoots on tomatoes. I'm running a variety trial this year (for my own
interests) and was in the crop yesterday really wondering about the
side-shoot pinching practice. I learned this method a decade ago from a
mentor and have been practicing it, perhaps blindly, ever since. Since I
have three or so plants from each variety I think I will pinch some and not
on others, and practice that good ole observation science.

So what say you epic gardeners of this list? To pinch or not to pinch?
