Tomatoes - I live for fresh tomatoes. [View all]

I also live near Seattle so have a very short growing season.

My problem this year is that my plants have grown twice as tall as normal. I think my potting soil had more fertilizer in it than it should have. In any case I am wondering if I cut out some of the foliage it will help the tomatoes grow and ripen.

I also would like suggestions on how much water to use now that fruit are on the vines.
