Then again, the guy who wrote the book has a Ph.D , so I assume he must know something about greenhouse growing. Also, I suppose, for commercial growers, having tomatoes of a uniform size makes them easier to market.
As the plants are indeterminate, I decided I would try his advice, and so far I am happy.
