Love your energy when you grow… Can see the truth in gardening. The more you grow, the closer you get to God and creation. God bless you, family and the little yorkie digging his holes.
do u cut the leave from the bottom of the tomatoes
Thanks for sharing. Good energy. Fast talker for hearing impaired. Nice garden.
The string is soooo simple- been doing it for years; why introduce more completely unnecessary plastic stuff into the process?
Exactly how is it 'easier' to faff around with a clip rather than a quick flick of the string around the stem as it grows?
Local not Amazon please.
steal your wife's pantyhose, ties up tomatoes much better and is a bit stretchy. Cut into strips and there you go.
I got the clips but didn't like the way some use them , Believe I'm going with construction wire for cement foundation and some clips and weaving in the wire.
Yes some clips are handy still learning
Thanks for the teaching Sir and good dogie cultist on YouTube he is
When it's dark outside, use a "Black Flashlight" to find Hornrworms on your tomatoe plants, very easy to spot.
My life has never been the same after watching this video
Thank you Buddy. Gill, Australia
Do you preserve your tomatoes. If so can you please show us how?
I've only just started thinking about tying up my tomatoes and already I can feel my life beginning to change, though not necessarily for the better.
I always have a laugh on your introductions for some reason… LOL
I love the t-shirt . I am an advocate for Food Forest Concept.
Thank you for the tip about how to make the tomato plants grow straight and neatly standing in the garden…I can’t wait for next year to use the clip..
Question: Can I dry out my green beans and use the pod seeds for new beans next year?
I have a very good technique to support tomatoes. I build a basic bamboo cage, with a horizontal support every feet or so. Then I simply take a fishing line (very cheap) and make a zigzag between the horizontal bamboos. No need to tie the plant to anything, the branches will just lay on the fishing line. If you have free baby bamboos around, I believe its the easiest and cheapest way to go.
One reason why I build it this way is because I can put coconut branches on top of that trellis while the plant is still very small. The sun and the heavy rain we get in Fiji can destroy plants easily, especially in summer… As the plant grows, I move the coconut branches further up.
clips not available for some reason
I love your gardening videos. My veggie garden is quite small. So tomatoes, beans, cucumbers have to grow vertically. This year for the first time, I tried using netting trellis & clips to make my heirloom tomatoes climb. I used 8' metal T-bars rather than wooden posts to save space and to ensure that my posts will not rot. Pruning and clipping the single stem to the netting as the plant grew taller each day was so much easier than tying it to a stake. The netting was not bothered by gusting winds. Harvesting the ripe tomatoes was so easy.
What rope is that?
Wy would you want to remove them by hand rather than by cutting the suckers off?
I will never grow an indeterminant tomato plant up a string again. It is a pain in the rear for a number of reasons caused by plants bearing ten to fifteen pounds of fruit each. I prefer growing up 2"x 2"x 8' stakes that are secured to a cable strung between T- posts (better than cages, better than trellises, better than slippery bamboo). I put the stake in the planting hole so I don't have to drive it in later. I tie off the plant next to the stake with a slightly slack figure 8 of garden twine every foot or so as it grows, and then tie off the clusters of tomatoes too. I don't like when the stem slumps from the weight of the fruit and I don't like when the fruiting branch kinks or rips off the plant.
A great trick with indeterminates is to pinch off the very top of the plant about a month and a half before expected frost, or when the plant reaches the top of your reach. That way the plant will put its energy into growing fruits before frost rather than baby top leaves that can't help fruit growth and or fruits that will never get large enough to use.
I'm put off after 10 seconds by your intense arm waving
You're right I'm a new man and I don't even have tomatoes ✌
I do it the knucklebuster way. Each year I set 5 landscape timbers (used to be inexpensive) into the ground (which I break down at the end of the season to stack off the ground). My row is 60 feet or so long. Get a good dozen plants per row… 18 if you are greedy. To this I put on 4 lines of bailing wire. The posts are turned sideways to the row so I just go round and round with the wire afixed to nails, so that there is a wire on either side. Makes a sort of cage for the plants to run up thru. For tying I use old panty hose which is getting harder to find. The stretchy strips you mention will be next, I guess. I tie the pantyhose loosely at the bottom of the foot high plant to get it started upwards and cinch it with another overhand knot above the plant wrap. That way it doesn't cut into the plant. As the plants get higher there is very little more tying to be done. The tomato limbs just flop over my wires. The first run of wire is about a foot and a half up and the last is head high. Posthole diggers, pantyhose, and bailing wire. My tomatoes love the system. Oh…and underneath, about the time the plants are ready to be tied I dig a little trench just on the outside of the hole and put Miracle Grow in it…not too thick. Lasts all season. Lastly I put down brown paper and over that plenty of wheat straw. Beats the snot out of weeding and the tomatoes love the extra moisture from the rotting straw.
Loved the part of the wasp ….well done. Thank you
great effort
