Yes, I ll prune them like that, no suckers. Air here is bone dry so there is less risk of fungal infections and plants are better protected of sun this way and this year I ll also have a shade cloth.

So far it hasn't gotten out of control, but it's frustrating that they've been infected so early.

Its kinda funny....but the 1st year I started a new garden (2007?) area it was like a Jungle
Tomatoes grew 8' tall, I had 10' PVC pipe trying to hold them up
Never pruned anything, I had to crawl thru on hands & knees to harvest tomatoes
I had more tomatoes that year & less plants
I've yet to equal that 1st year harvest..now that I pay attention & spread the plants out more
They were crammed into a 8x8' area.....now in maybe a 15x30' area
And of course I don't have any pics from that year

Anyone else on the East coast have a bumper crop in 2007 ?

I'm getting conflicting information on San Marzano. Is it determinant or indeterminate? Wiki says inderterminate.

Apparently it depends which one. There's more than one San Marzano:

Thanks Mark, I'm not sure which one so I'll have my wife ask the seller next week at the market. Can't believe they didn't tell her!

Looks pretty good. Maybe you should save some seeds and actually plant them next year so you can harvest sooner.
