Have you ever worked hard gardening a home grown tomato just to be disappointed in flavor? Or maybe you’ve never successfully grown tomatoes at all.
Today I’m giving you a crash course in tomato growing, from basic vocabulary to the science of flavor compounds, here’s all I know about growing tomatoes for flavor.
One of my favorite sources on the topic of enhancing flavor in your crops is this book: https://amzn.to/2KtlnG1
The Blacklight Flashlight we use for hunting Hornworms: https://amzn.to/2IDdn3k
The tie tape I use to attach my plants to the trellis: https://amzn.to/2lGxd4J

Good teaching. thank you for the tips
How often do u use molasses?
Baby asprin or regular
Loved this Thanks
This is the best tomato tutorial I've viewed…and there have been a lot. Well done!
I really enjoyed this very informative video. I was just wondering how often to use the aspirin & water mixture as well as the molasses & water mixture. Do you use it every time you water, once a week, or every two weeks?
Great info!!!
My grandma always put Epsom salt in the planting hole for no blossom end rot.
Hey Jess !! Just rewatched this. Today was the first full video you posted from South Carolina. You've come a long way in a very short time . Go find a tomato and celebrate!
Your garden is perfect.
Thanks for sharing this. The farm is just wonderful, many types of tomatoes, this is my dream!! Keep up the good work!!
Really nice video. Thanks!

Quite a talker I
Cracking like stretchmarks lol
thank you
Great video, thank you very much 500milligrams of aspirin in 500mls? beautiful eyes and eyebrows BTW
Hi! How often do you do the aspirin spray? Thanks for the awesome videos! I've been watching you a couple years and am really using all your tips on a couple of tomato plants that blew in from the ethers. They are doing really much better than any if the tomato efforts I have made in the past!
Oh my tomato that does not do well in my yard is San Marzano i tried for three years. And we are too cool in our area to grow beef stakes. But Prudence purple does excellent for a big tomatoe.
Thank you your a very informative and beautiful girl. Your tomato youtube video has given me a lot of information that i will try this year. in Australia. Thank you again.
How often do you spray your tomato plants with this asprin mix? Do you spray ripening tomatos directly as well (say when starting to turn pink)? How often do you stress (leaf curl) your tom plants to increase fruit flavor (do you do this when fruit is pink as well)?
I have used azomite rock granules (coated with molasses) before with amazing flavor results. Can't wait to add these flavor tricks.
Dang I love a cold tomato. Never knew it zaps the flavor. The aspirin trick is like a vaccine for a plant. Well done. Just bought the home and land have a lot of work to do then I’ll be back for my tomato lesson again. Keep up the great work.
I learned so much more in n this Video on Growing and Caring for Tomatoes !
Very Clear and precise information.
Thanks!
You live on a farm? Or do you just have a garden
