Helpful! Ty. Love your pooch too !
I will be pruning for my first time , let's keep growing ❤
Mr. Peter Henderson of New Jersey described the best soil as a large base of clam shells from being near the ocean. I wonder if that calcium load contributes to high quality tomatoes as you indicated. Nice video! Thanks.
My tomato tree not give fruit much.But it is grow tall and healthy. Please let me the the reason .Thank you.
Great information! Keep bringing that knowledge.
If the leaf's are healthy, I recommend burying them in the garden soil to compost
Enjoyed ur video. How do u stacked the plant to grow vertically
Last week I had absolutely nothing on my tomato plants.. I plucked off the crown in one week i had tons of flowers, and not i have lots of both flowers and tomato's! I was shocked!
I was told that using a metal blade to prune , causes disease !!!
Hi James! Where do you purchase your tomatoe stakes? They look awesome and sturdy and I definitely need something like that.
Hey James, I love your energy. One question. Do you stop watering your tomato plant close to the end? Thank you my friend.
How to make my tomato produce fruit? The first time it produced a few cgerry tomatoes but know it is just flowering and not producing fruit.
Will the plant die if after reaching 1 meter height, I decapitate the main stem?
There's tuck. Thank you
i just took a whack at my chocolate sprinkles + black prince bushes because i was always afraid of pruning it. but i took it apart for the sake of water propogating new plants to hopefully take inside! i have some 6ft ballasts i use for succulents, and last year i tossed a cannabis seed under the light as a joke and it took off before neglect took her! decided i need to try and grow some food overwinter, as im in new york! definitely love how you just loudly point out the suckers and crap, i may tweak it of course as im gonna be trying indoors but this definitely made me feel more confident about pruning a tomato plant.
Its funny, because of you, now when I walk the dogs in the morning, I am seeing all kinds of yards that would make great food forests.
I will have to go with the raised bed and container option, but your videos are so helpful and inspiring.
Thank you.
the 630 who disliked this video must be tomato haters.
Following this video gave me about 150 giant tomatoes on 3 beefsteak tomato plants that are currently 6-7 feet tall. Thanks!
I absolutely loved this passionate video. Thanks for making it! Very easy to watch and enjoy, short and to the point with excellent tips and fun! I've actually been struggling with tomatoes for the last two years of trying, but I get better every year. I live in the Pacific Northwest and our summers here have become brutal due to global warming, so full sun is too much or bordering on too much. Last year I planted in-ground in full sun and had some in containers. I actually had too many tomatoes which were still green at the end of the season last year and I used them for yummy fry-ups and put them in spaghetti sauce. This year I have heirloom seeds and have focused much more on doing things right, following a lot of research, so I get riper tomatoes at the end of the season. But, I have smaller yield this year using the same pruning method I used last year, with fast plant growth but slow tomato growth, and the longer on the vine the sweeter they get, but also the skins are thicker and they are more prone to disease, damage and scald. Go figure. The in-ground ones had some disease last year but worse, basically fried from the sun, no matter how much I watered. This year I am doing all container-grown (in 5 gallon buckets). I've found this works well because I don't have a lot of ground in which to plant, but the main thing is I can move the containers in and out of the sun and rotate them 360 degrees. My wife and me also set up a large net-like plant cover attached to the facia of the house under the gutter, so the net can be rolled up on a piece of white plastic water pipe and stay there, covered in winter, and can be unrolled in summer and supported above the plants with poles and with staked guy-ropes (like tent ropes). I didn't use it this year. Duh! It worked well the last time I used it, I will definitely use it next year. This year I started late so I am learning about late harvest, it's October and north of Seattle my tomatoes are still setting flowers and baby tomatoes. I have three heirloom varieties, about 20 plants all told, two of them cherry varieties, and all three varieties are separated on different sides of the house to help prevent cross pollination. The trouble is the amount of sun is different on all three sides. I prune selectively to allow three or four main stems and let the plants bush out, 6 feet tall. This is mostly to have anough leaves to heklp protect the plant from too much sun in mid summer. My biggest problem has been slowness of tomato growth and yield size. It can get to 100F for a week or two in the summer, and they hate that. We also had a drought for months and I had to water daily by hand, but having containers that's a given anyway because not much rain gets in the bucket when it does rain. The funny thing is the ones I abused the most and neglected and left out in the sun and oops forgot to water, leaving dry soil for a day, in smaller hanging pots, seemed to do better with tomato growth. I guess my plants are shielded from the sun too much this year. I'm still struggling with getting the right amount of sun, water, fertilizer and leaf growth. I thought more leaf growth would help with the dry conditions. I make mistakes and learn more every year and am still keen to try new things. Next year I'l try a mix of bushed-out, and hard- pruned plants with only one main stem, to see which do best here. I can keep those with less foliage in part-sun under our large porch of the house and the bushed-out ones in the sun more. We'll see how it goes! Never give up.
This is great, you talk really fast but it’s all informative . Looks like you know what your doing. I am not a beginner but I always like to learn more! I think it was my mother who actually taught me to cut off lower leaves of tomatoes! She is no longer alive but she taught me a lot!
Where did you purchase your long bamboo stakes at?
How you manage weed please do a video
Hi James – I love all your videos! We have an indeterminate plant, and it's growing like crazy! It's about 3 months old and producing some fruit. It's gotten so high it is almost to the top of the support – but only just starting to produce fruit. What can we do to keep it from growing too high? Thanks,
