Tomato update

The tomato crop has begun coming in in earnest. The taxi tomato plant has produced only two fruits, and is still growing quite slowly. It is rather overshadowed by the amish paste, which has been my powerhouse. I'm now getting five or six amish pastes a week, and it shows no real signs of slowing down. Given that it shares root space with the taxi and golden nuggets(?), It is possible that it is just taking up the soil.

In the planter, the cabernet tomatoes have produced beautifully. The oxhearts and tappy's heritage tomatoes are bearing fruit, but all is green so far.

Query: up until now I have been picking tomatoes off the vine. Should I be cutting the vines to keep juices flowing to them?
