I use to prune the tomatoes but in the last few years, I have not done any pruning and the tomato crop seems to be better than when I did prune.
Kalispell is in Zone 4 for the most part. We usually plant the last week of May. And the first frost is usually the first week of September, but can be as early as the 3rd week of August. I know several gardeners here who will plant much earlier, but it rarely does any good, the ground is just not warm enough for the seeds in an average year.
