What to do with hamburgers when you're out of ketchup

... they're crispy. • Slice some tomatoes • Salt and vinegar the tomatoes • Put your hamburger together (fold the squash greens to fit; expect them to crumble partially as you do), and eat.

Pruning cucurbits to the third degree of ramifications

..., people usually either prune to a Y shape or prune every single sucker off (just letting the leader grow). I kind of wonder if pruning off everything else in order to get to a certain degree of ramifications faster would produce more fruit in tomatoes, too, given as much time as the plant needed. pruning_ degree_of_ramification tomato_ cucumber_
