To prune, or not to prune. That is the question! Pruning vegetable plants is an important step in maintaining a healthy garden and having the best vegetable yield.
Pruning is necessary to maintain the health of a vegetable plant and keep it from growing too large.When pruned, plants are encouraged to grow in their natural shape instead of becoming lanky.
Plants like potatoes, watermelons, pumpkins, and cauliflower do not need pruning because they grow from the ground up rather than on vines, as in many other types of crops.
