Whenever I start pruning our vegetable plants my wife always asks, should we really cut these branches? Won’t they produce more vegetables?

Cutting off the branches of a healthy plant is a hard thing to do. But every time I prune a plant results are visible in a matter of days, interms of more flowers and fruits, and better growth of main branches.

Similarly if you see a small plant having flowers pluck them off early. Having fruits on young plants will reduce the growth of the plant and ultimately  reduce the productivity of the plant.

Timely pruning improves production
