Do you clip the leaves off of your tomato plants? Purpose of this?

We're on our 4th week here and my tomatoes have just set fruit. Sure wish we could get our gardens going as early as you people in the South. Even with bale gardening system we have to wait till the very end of May before we can plant here. My neighbor planted well after we did and lost everything to frost this year.

I watched your favorite video. Its very thought provoking, I can see where you are practicing your beliefs by going all over the world teaching about straw bale gardening. I'm looking forward to your talk.

Now I know what I can do with all of those old snow skis in my garage! Very cool planter. Thanks to Larry over at Scroll Trellis for submitting this image of the project he made for the guys at the MN Salvation Army Rehab Center for Men.

My bales have already deteriorated like end of season due to all the rain. How do you keep the bales from falling apart?
