I've never cut any back before. I'd be afraid to try it but you could try one or two plants and see what happens. Is there a possibility you can move your tomato plants? Are they already blooming?
My tomato plants are in full bloom and fruiting. I am going to try cutting back and replanting. We had a deer attack last night, and judging from my string beans, that may not be a problem much longer.
Sweet potatoes grow on vines? Seriously? I have never planted them before, they are not something I like to eat. I know white potatoes grow in the ground (you till a hill and they live under it). I'm not going to be able to answer this question, but I did find it interesting.
