Any tips on pruning cucumbers? Mine are growing like crazy. They’re almost taking over the tomato. (Lesson learned give them more space next year). I don’t even know where to begin. I could just sacrifice the tomato and let the cucumber take over.

Also now that the peppers are starting to grow, any tips on pruning those?

I don’t prune peppers.

I prune suckers on cucumber vines to keep them under control.

I don't prune my peppers but I do top them when they are fairly young so it will fork lower and make the main stem bigger an stronger. It also makes them more like a bush and seems to produce more for me.
