You are not ignorant, that is clear. What I mean is, will you prune off all the side shoots ("suckers") and grow the plants essentially as a single "vine" (stem)? I ask because you have them planted pretty close together. Pruning them to a single stem can let you grow them close together. In the humid climate that I live in, if I planted them close like yours are, they would probably get fungal diseases on the leaves and stems really quickly if they weren't pruned to increase air flow and sun exposure. But this year is the first year I'm pruning my tomatoes, so I'm just trying to learn how different people grow their plants.
