  1. What is causing the tomatoes to split, ours have been looking like some of yours, We live in northern central valley over an hour from Sacramento and it has been over 30+ days of 100+ degree weather. Tomatoes on a drip system & shade cloth. Any ideas of how to fix this problem? Thank you.

  2. Congratulations on that Monster tomato 🍅! This year has been my best year ever for tomatoes. I grew them in a Hugalkulter bed. Thanks for sharing. 🎉

  3. Mouth watering over here ❤❤❤, no tomatoes this season or so far but hopefully 🙏🏻 maybe this fall 🤞🤞 Mac sending lots of love 💕

  4. Beautiful tomato harvest ever! Those recipes look so delicious. Thanks for sharing as always. By the way, I have two string trellises. I might add one more. They work wonders for tomatoes and cucumbers.

  5. What a beautiful harvest!!!! And wonderful ideas on how to enjoy garden fresh tomatoes 🍅 My favorite harvest so far has been the Bo Mango from San Diego Seed Company. It was a delicious tomato with a fruity mango flavor 😋

  6. I can’t express my own wows during this video! Such an amazing harvest! Where did you get those mushroom tomato seeds? And Cliffs Domingo seeds produced amazingly! Such a good video as always! You’re so blessed to have such a talented partner CG. Love y’all!

  8. I did my initial comment, then OMG!. then I was like wow you’re slicing those tomatoes that looked like the size of small pumpkins! The insides were a work of Gods nature art! Amazing! I still have such a challenge and getting my tomatoes to grow large even when I grow just standard beef steaks. I am sure that I need to be more regular on my plant feeding.

  9. Camera guy you are never going to find tomatoes like that in a grocery store ever! Y’all are growing amazing vegetables. So inspiring and beautiful video.

  11. What a great harvest! I love the look of the mushroom basket and Domingo wow! I definitely want to try a tomato trellis, how cool!

  12. Yummy! Congrats, CaliKim! My tomatoes are starting to come in here The gold nugget and golden jubilee are delicious! I love all your seeds. Now that the heat isn't so intense here, we are getting some produce. Hallelujah! When I get too many tomatoes, I share them with my daughter, and neighbors and/or make homemade spaghetti sauce. Caprese is good, too, oh yeah. I was able to make a chicken macaroni salad with golden jubilee and one of your cucumbers ( I forget the name), but Armenian cucumbers are coming in also, My aunt had a collie that loved veggies, but Winston was not too interested. lol The look on Mac's face is priceless!😆🥰

  13. that looks delicious guys❤ My favorite tomatoes this year have been my Early girl. So delicious and ready b4 the others😊
