Growing tomatoes can get quite complicated, but if you break it back down to the basics, they’re actually not that challenging! Today we’ll tackle one of the scarier moments in your tomato’s life…transplanting.
After starting tomato seeds and hardening them off, it’s time to put your tomato plant in the ground. There are 100+ different ways to do this, and everyone has their own “trick.” I like to keep it pretty simple:
– Plant deep
– Fertilize the planting hole
– Water in well

Thank you! You help me become a better gardener with each new video you post. God bless – I hope you and your family are doing well. ❤️
Will you be providing an update on this transplant? It would be fun to follow!
interesting I'm so going to try this just waiting for the weather to be consistent can you do an update on this tomato plant?
Wrong.
Kevin, thank you so much for your videos. I'm new to gardening and am also in SoCal. I would like to know if it always necessary to start seedlings indoors during the Spring? Thanks in advance!
Amazing channel from an a amazing person you deliver the info very easily but I have a question how tall is your hieght
how many plants would you recommend for that container. I fear i may have too many in small space. Also, how would you recommend staking them?
Just what i needed
Whats your opinion on those fancy tomatoe planters that hang upside down ? I boight one for ny mon to try but she didnt care much for it. Jaja
So me being an apartment gardener., I've thought to experiment with small pots to control a plants size. So I wonder who's thought the same idea or have done so?
I just transplanted a tomato three days ago. I didn’t cut the flowers. Why you are cutting the flowers?
HELP ! i had a plant as tall as my waist and it broke in half in the wind last night, below the break all sun-leafs only bc above were the two flowering stems, I've saved the two stems and left the sun leaf portion to grow and hopefully still produce. I put the stems in water to see if I can propagate them but given they are about 1 foot high each should I just bury them in soil today and hope for the best?
Like what you did, I had to cut only the part of first flower but accidentally cut with leaves together which I think the growing point of the tomato plant.. did I fail this time to grow tomatoes?? :'-(
Not sure about cutting of flowers are good or not, i strongly feel one should transplant before budding.
And too deep planting is not good, since it affects full potential of getting sun lite. i.e. plants stem grow tall not wider.
Hello I need help!
I have I pot with about 20 little plants from seedlings.. How many can I put in a pot to grow that big add then able to transfer to a planter box?
Very nice tips thanks
Yes. Good job!
I have cherry tomatoes 101, is there a way to save it till the next spring indoors?
Excellent video for a newbie like me. Thank you so much! It was very thorough and answered all of my questions.
Janice
what you use for organic pesticides
Can you clip off early flowers of determinate varieties too before transplanting them outside?
You can plant them on their side with just the tip out if you don't want to dig so deep.
Hello Good sir, I bought a Tomato Plant from Home Depot today, it has plenty little tomatoes growing at the moment. Would I have to cut those off? and any lower branches when repotting?? The plant is about 2-3 ft :o. Any help/tips would be appreciated. <3.
Im too late to the party, but stop buying fertilizers. Go into the woods scrape top soil under the leaves and there is your fertilizer. Its free.
So they dont mind getting their root ball a little damaged?
