Suckers?

Do you cut Suckers off Tomatoes and Cucumbers?

I noticed on some Tomatoes the other day. Not mine but I was going to cut Suckers but seen many Blooms on them so I just tied them up. And put Worm Castings and Epson Salt around them.

They are Indeterminate.

I don't cut suckers off of anything, unless I really see the main plant struggling. It is sometimes an indication that there is a major problem with the main stalk & the plant is pulling its energy down to correct this with a new trunk, or main stem. I have had plants survive, because of suckers. If you have a grafted plant, however, this can be the root stalk seeking to reestablish itself, which I also usually allow to happen, but others recommend against. If it is a sucker of a parasitic plant I would remove it ofcourse.
