I’m a farmer – my ‘sacrifice’ method grows bigger, better tomatoes
A FARMER has shared his “sacrifice” method which he says grows bigger and better tomatoes.
In a detailed social media video, he explained the process to viewers.
“Hey guys, Andre the farmer here,” Andre (@andrethefarmer) started his TikTok video off before diving into his tip.
“One thing that I’ve learned over the years is when you have plants like tomatoes or cucumbers or peppers or squash and they start flowering and they’re really small?
“The best thing you can do for them is to cut those flowers off. This plant is not ready to produce fruit.
“I wanted to focus on growing itself becoming bigger.
“You’re gonna get a much larger harvest and a better yield and a healthier plant in the long run.
“So sacrifice that early fruit for long-term success.”
Users thanked the man for his tips in the comments section of the video.
“Did this guy just secretly drop some life advice?!?” one person wrote.
“Thanks for sharing all your gardening secrets!” a second exclaimed.
“Just went and cut them all off. Thank you!” a third person said.
“I was just wondering about this. Now I know. Time to prune off the little buds. Thanks!”
“Wow, thanks for this tip! Never thought of and some plants are small when budding.”
“Thank you for the advice I just started gardening this spring,” a final person added.
