I see you didn't make a pepper video this year.. You know we waiting keep up the good work though
So what do you do with all your produce? Do you can some of it?
How do u get them to turn red
I'm in North Florida. Can I start new tomatoes for a late summer or fall harvest?
Had a lengthy comment but lost it, so here is the short version. I grew a number of varieties years ago in a side by side test. Big Beef won without a doubt the best of all. Perfect fruit and lots of them that were so easy to can(skins slipped off after blanching). Was our exclusive tomato for years until losing my wife to cancer.
Thank you for another great, well done and informative video. I did make some notes of varieties I might try next year. I notice you only grow 1 variety of paste tomatoes – have you considered trying others?
I’m growing yellow boys and they seem to be doing very well …I was hoping for a grow review but I guess they didn’t make the cut ….
Those big beef tomatoes look like mine. I don't know what mine are.
This is a really great video for me. I am actually from New York , Binghamton to be exact. I had a rather small garden there but about 4 years ago, I bought a house here in Savannah and last year started gardening again. Last year was ok but planted too late and discovered lots of new diseases and bugs. I also have a problem with fire ants, which thanks to you I have gotten rid of on my lawn but they have moved to my metal raised bed. I have had a lot of issues with my tomato plants and decided to rip them out and start some new plants based on the information in this video, I have a better idea what varieties I should chose. My question is what I do about the fire ants in the bed because at some point soon I would like to replant things in there. How do I get rid of the ants safely without them moving to the new plants?
I ended up having to leave town for family issues for most of the first half of June so by the time I was done with that I had lost control of mine. Many fell over in storms and such and so I have just let them go as they want. Still getting decent yields but its a tangled mess! Between that and the lack of water this is definitely the push I needed to work on getting drip irrigation setup this winter so I will be ready for next year with automated watering at least.
Just found this channel and really appreciate clear, confident and tested approach to gardening…Question…I'm working through fertilizer requirements using guidance from your videos…are 6-12-12/ 3-6-6/5-10-10 the same? and can be used in same applications?
My favorite are brandywine pink and marmande. My pink brandywine have literally never suffered from disease and they always throw out 10-15 large tomatoes lol.
🍅🍅👌✨
My taz chocolates are excelling in this high heat/humidity we're having as well. (east coast)
❤love your channel and knowledge. ??? Im dealing with scale (white type) but i wonder if you figure the dish soap would work or do i need to manually remove it from Allllll my plants. So hot out, i dread that idea. Thanks.
siletz! siletz! siletz! I'm so glad you brought them up at the end. I've been growing them in southern Idaho for the last two years because of your recommendation and they're doing great. I also grow the super sweet 100. it seems like all the cherry tomato varieties I see are indeterminate. I wonder why that is.
Wow we have great production with Sungold with no splitting or disease. Last year was a low production for most of us in 7B , except for the Sungold. I can’t wait for your report on the Princesd
Are you going to plant tomatoes for fall? If so will you plant the same varieties?
I have learned alot over 8 years of growing tomatoes. The plants that grow the best for me are the hybrids and the heirlooms that survived for me to save seeds from my garden. The giant belgium used to not grow as well until I saved seeds from it and planted it with my pepper plants and onions. I am very happy with it this year.
I’m in Wilmington, NC and I have really good luck with Midnight Snack from Burpee. Good yields and taste great.
It’s year 2 that I’ve added SILETZ to my tomato list! Thanks again for recommending it!! Zone 5b in the Midwest
I'm going to try Siletz next year! I just planted all of my sun sugar starts this morning. Late but it is what it is. Started everything outside this year. Mostly great results for the tomatoes. Since last year's starts got decimated, I planted extras and ended up with 5 sun sugar, 3 pineapple, 2 vintage wine, six green zebra, 3 grape surprise (my name for a tomato that was supposed to be something else a few years back), 5 pink oxheart, and 5 Ukrainian purple (new to me). Didn't intend to grow that many of each…or of the squashes, or the tomatillos, or, or–pretty successful year so far!😂
