  1. This is the 1st time I have 7 tomato plants (2 in smart bags) growing in a small backyard. I managed to space them 18 inches apart. They seem very happy thus far. Jeff, the blueberry tomatoes are delicious. Wish there was a way I could send you some seeds.

  2. Hi Jeff, we just got our Abe Lincoln and red centiflor tomato 🍅 plants. And sparkle strawberry 🍓 plants in. Have to plant them. We know nothing about varieties of any plants. 😆 LOL 😆 Have a great blessed weekend.

  3. I was hoping for Spaced Out Tomatoes 🍅… Planted mine yesterday then we got 1/2 inch of rain 🌧️

  5. Hello Jeff, when can we plant tomatoes as day time weather can reach above 20 C and at night drop to 5-10 degres. I m in Zone 5. Thank you

  6. I've been picking Yellow Pears like mad from my Greens Stalk Vert Tower👍.
    Say, what are those pretty WHITE FLOWERS by ur tomatoes?

  7. I’ve tried spacing large beefsteak tomatoes at 28” but several years ago I went with 36”. They need about 3 foot spacing to get enough airflow. My tomatoes have done extremely well for me. Always over 6’ tall. I’m blessed with great soil and I’m in the garden everyday to prune, tie them and keep a close eye on them.

  8. What is your recommendation when planting in 30-gallon fabric containers? I did three last year, which was at least one too many.
    Thank you!

  9. Jeff, I tuned in 2 hrs. late, and 826 viewers behind. I gotta buy an alarm clock! But don’t wait on me. Keep ‘m comin’

  10. Good morning Jeff. Was wondering if you do farmers markets in the Sydney, North Sannich area. My nephew would love to support you as he lives in that area. Thanks. Bev

  11. With the forecasted switch to El Nino, do you factor that change into how/what you'll be growing? My area in Socal is projected to be cooler than average, so Im delaying my summer cover crop of cowpeas in favor of growing more tomatoes.

  12. Thank you Jeff for all the information from seeding to Harvesting the tomatoes and other vegetables ❤❤❤😊
