This way I still get a good amount per plant, but they're larger than if I didn't pinch at all. Also, it saves me time during the beginning of the season when there are more important jobs to be done in the garden.

One more hint on planting suckers: It is a good idea not to plant them in the heat of the day, to plant them as deep as you can, and to give them plenty of water until they have grown their own roots.

Not much of a work if you wish to have bigger tomato fruit. I am not much of a farmer but this information is very helpful, now when plant tomato you can also do something to have bigger fruit.
