It is planting time!!! We are growing 18 tomato plants in 48 square feet. This should be interesting. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com

Love your little girl. She's a beauty. Awesome job teaching her to garden at a young age.
I'm finding that I too have to many plants & have thought of plants the same way. Good luck to us on a fruitful year
How am I supposed to focus on tomatoes when there's an adorable little girl counting to ten?
We would need 750 sqft to plant that many plants in the way that we usually grow them. Anything less than 6 ft spacing, and they end up crowding each other… I really want to build a 12-15ft tall trellis for a permanent tomato bed.
What does harden off mean?
So, Like, how'd you make out? It has been a year since you uploaded this video. I may want to take this approach this year for some high intensity gardening in my small space.
How did the 18 tomatoes in a bed last year turn out?
I grow 22 indeterminate tomatoes in a 3’x12’ raised bed…we leave 2-3 suckers in addition to the main stem, support on strings hanging from overhead wire and prune the bottom foliage heavily to promote good airflow…can’t even guess at how many hundreds of pounds of tomatoes we grow every season from that one box. We also grow 15 determinate tomatoes in a 3×6 space by using horizontal netting for support…works great!
I know this is a bit late but was there ever a folloow up on this. I plan to put 14 in a 3×8 foot space. I could squeeze it to 3×9 but that wrecks my plan for sun flowers.
I love your message at the end about filling your tank and being able to give and do better! Thank you! 🙂
ok…i know how to over populate a garden…what is the result?? shate that with us
Can I plant tomatoes and watermelon together ?
is it really warm enough , and safe here in michigan to plant tomatoes?
60' day 45 to 50' nights tomato ?
Luke, how deep are you beds? 12"? is that the minimum for tomato plants? I'm building beds here in GA and I wanted to make sure I have deep enough beds for tomato plants.
Is it okay to not break up the roots when planting?
How did this turn out? Will you repeat it this year?
Hi Luke, Trifecta Plus gives amazing results. Was planning to get more, until I saw the shipping and handling fee. Is there any way you could offer free shipping for orders ☺️ ver $99? Or, something similar?
Update?
How do you keep squirrels from feasting on your tomatoes?
is there a harvesting video of this experimental planting?
❤️ the watering scene for the win! Sweet helper. Thank you for all your helpful information.
I just love your enthusiasm and it's great to hear someone put into words what I feel. Non-gardeners just don't understand!
we have garden beds that are 4'x4' and we normally plant 9 tomato plants per box. we prune to two or three stems and fertilize and have a great harvest. this year we're actually trying out even more, about 1 plant per sq ft and pruning to one stem. so about 16 tomato plants per box. I'm predicting a few plants will struggle slightly, but i want to find out what my maximum is.
I love it when my daughter gets involved in the garden, she's almost two now and loves the water can, and eating blueberries of course! 🙂
I love this style of video! Luke do more like these! It's a much more laid back kind of style where we see more of your personality! Much more like hanging out with a "bestie" vs a long drawn out classroom lecture!
I notice when you plant these tomato plants, you don't add water before backfilling it in… give tbose roots a chance, man!
Luke, how did these grow?
I think you can squeeze 50 tomato plants into 50 square foot if you follow the square foot gardening method. Haven't tried.
