How many of us are watching Laura fill dirt into little containers and enjoying every minute of it lol. It's a Garden Answer "thing" ♥

Anyone else feel like Laura was doing an AMSR video as she was filling the containers with soil? It was so oddly relaxing.

The really great thing about growing more Tomatoes now is, the simple fact you will have suckers on those Tomatoes and so on, time it right and you can start next season with plants rather than seeds. It is in my experience the best way if your climate can support it, sucker plants grow so much stronger and quicker and fruit sooner and lower down on the main stem. IT really is the best way if your climate can support them...Steve...🙂

I love that the camera is catching all the little critters in the dirt… healthy gardening!

I love these ‘catch-all’ videos, where Laura is just showing a regular day around the garden. One suggestion about tomato cuttings: I had a really great success rooting the suckers in water. Pretty much 100% success and planted them once they had strong and extensive roots. That’s how I overwinter the best producing plants on my window sill.

I am absolutely loving the no music, just the sounds of the garden and planting ♥️

Thank you for showing all of these technical parts when you plant your crops. I’m a beginner gardener and when you show exactly how you run drip…and how you fix drip…it is VERY helpful! Please keep these videos coming.

I love seeing you doing one-handed gardening while you film. Talented all the way.

Russell is such a good helper

Thanks for continuing to share your garden wisdom. I’ve been tuning into your videos for about 5 years and learn something new every day. It’s a joy watching your gardens and sweet children grow. I love to watch you and Aaron interact. My husband and I will celebrate 52 years of marriage in December and hopefully will have many more!!! Blessings on you and your family and all future endeavors.

Seeing the mundane things has been so helpful - including with changing out the drip lines. For a year, I struggled with ineffectively pushing the barbs onto the lines by sheer force which bent the drip line until I noticed Laura working them back-and-forth as she did in this video. What a difference that makes! Thanks for the little things 🙂

Laura you’re such a breath of fresh air. So nice to end my day with a video from you. I love how you say ‘we’ planted these tomatoes, like we were there right next to you in person the whole way. You’re my KZfaq person. I don’t watch any other garden channels. 🙂

This is only my second gardening season. A simple pleasure is making the same noise as Laura when I move the plastic trays around 😊

I love the smell of tomato plants and could smell each time you cut a suckered off 😃

I learned something new today...that you can root tomato suckers. Never knew that! Thanks Laura!

I've been growing tomatoes from seed and its SOO much faster to do from cutting, you get fruit faster, so so easy, you almost can't mess it up lol

Have you ever thought of making some permanent raised beds in your greenhouse? Thank you so much for being such a ray of sunshine. You have given me a safe place to come and be encouraged. May God Bless you and your family.

I removed suckers from my tomatoes and now they are about a foot tall. My Dad always planted suckers for our fall crop.

Morning! For the drip irrigation on the veg beds, I highly recomend the Garden in Minutes Garden Grid watering system. I put one in my pepper bed and it’s been a total game changer. I do square foot gardening so the grid also helps mark my squares. I’m not associated with GIM, just a happy customer. Happy gardening everyone!

Good morning! 🌻🐝

I have such a long list of things I would like on our new property and with every video I watch my list gets longer. But, a heated green house stays right at the top!! I love to propagate my favorite plants to add to my landscape, yet it has never occurred to me that I could start off with anything but seed for vegetables. Thanks for always giving me new ideas!! Being able to grow vegetables and flowers all winter long would be AMAZING!!

We love growing new tomato plants 🪴 from cuttings! It's amazing how you can increase the number of tomato 🍅 plants in the garden in such a simple way! 😀

Tomato Trees more like it! I find this very interesting, I had no idea you could root the suckers, but it makes sense, thanks for all you do❤️

Seeing you plant new tomato plants, it reminded me of the possibility of you and your dad doing a tomato tasting video! How fun would that be! Hope your sweet mama is recovering well!

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day

Wow! I learned a lot this video. I didn't know you can use the suckers from tomatoes as new plants. The other thing, I know it sounds dumb, halving the label tags in half. Lol! I always run into issues, as you know, when you put the lid on the tray. Smh. Sometimes the obvious gets away from me. Lol! Love the channel and love what you do. ❤️

I had great luck with saving seeds from Campari tomatoes from the grocery store and planting them this spring.

I’m really excited about your drip, you’re going to have phenomenal results from changing that out!

I just love all of your videos Laura! Your cheerful nature and all the different gardening you do are so inspirational and enjoyable in every way!😊❤️🤗🌺 Thank you!!

I so enjoy your videos and learn so much! Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge with us.

I appreciate how you redo your raised beds. Would you mind sharing your crop rotation schedule if you have one? I read once that certain vegetables should follow other vegetables due to the nutrients each pull from the soil. Thank yoU!

I know it's hard to believe but it gives me so much joy to see Laura planting seeds - It will be cold here soon and seeing someone still be able to plant seeds gives makes me happy.

Just love Russell right there in the Middle of tomato planting! 🐈

When propagating you should do your cuttings during the early part of the day. During the early part of day is when the plant has the Highest sugar content. Also take cuttings from a healthy mother plant. Your new configuration of drip in the raised beds should work a lot better.

Laura your so amazing, I learn something from every video. I'm gonna do the something to my tomatoes. Thank you😊

It's simply jaw dropping how resilient tomatoes are. I did two cuttings in little pots this year for the first time this summer and they both did wonderfully. I noticed that one piece I had pruned off a plant and left lying to compost in place had rooted in and is now a large plant, so I tried another experiment. I got a cutting and stuck it directly in the soil in the garden near the plant I took it from. The temperature in my California zone 8b garden got up to 118 degrees every day for a week including that day. To my shock, the directly planted cutting not only survived, but is now a large plant with blossoms on it. Just amazing! I bet all your cuttings thrive.

I do all my raised beds with that style of drip, header at the top and then shorter lines off. Works the best :)

Good morning Laura! So much for planting fewer tomatoes😂😂😂Before any dager of frost trasplant your peppers and bring them in the green house you will have a head startnext year maybe they will produce too. The same with eggplants and okra. They are perennial in the right zone.🤗💜🤗

Good morning! How wonderful that you can plant a second crop this late in the season. Need to rewatch to see what tomato plant you like over the winter.

I’m so glad you showed us that change in your water supply system in raised beds. I’ve been having some issues in my long raised beds not getting enough water. This will for sure be a change I will do after my raspberry are done this season. Thanks from Michigan zone 6a

This reminded me of our first garden, my husband planted 48 tomato plants! The older folks at church got a kick out of his enthusiasm, but loved the sharing of our harvest. 💚🍅🌱

Good morning lovelies! I was planning on working outside today but my husband scared a skunk earlier when he left for work! I’ve been worried about this happening since we started seeing them on our homestead the last couple of weeks. I want to bring it to your attention because I have been using the Espoma products like Laura does and critters have been digging up my plants to eat the “yummy” organic fertilizer! Pretty sure the skunks are the major culprit! So be forewarned gardening peeps, critters are attracted to organic fertilizers. I feel like I’m going to have to put barriers around newly planted items so I can still use them.

Imagine showing up to a Christmas party with a charming basket, lined with a lovely botanical napkin, with a small jar of Maldon sea salt nestled into a dozen home grown, freshly picked vine ripened tomatoes!!!! What a delightful hostess gift that would be.

I never knew you could plant tomato slips. I will be trying that .

thanks for my regular morning fix! I watch you instead of the news every morning now and well… it is a much better start to my day! Can you tell me where you got the beautiful cage that is in your raised bed close to the house on top of some sort of squash plant -it has a little Victorian curl to the top and I love it! Thanks again for your sharing your beautiful life, relationships and esthetic!

Hi Laura! This was very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing!

Good Morning! 🌞🍁🍂 Making those improvements to the greenhouse is a game changer, being able to start seeds earlier must be so nice! Anxious to watch those tomatoe cuttings take root & produce tomatoes!! Love those sunflowers! 😃🍅🌱🌻🌿

Teresa from Oklahoma. I watch both you and Creekside every day. I heard your explanation regarding the music. I wanted to let you know that I personally like the natural sounds better. It kind of makes me feel like I am really there with you.

You are talking about your raised beds in your garden: I would put your quarter inch drip on the outside of the bed 1st and end up with the last part of it in the middle, that way it might get more saturated with water more evenly. Just a thought.

I also had trouble with my 1/4” drip line clogging. I switched to all 1/2” lines and am on my second year with success. I will be interested in seeing how your hybrid approach works out!

Pretty brilliant to cut suckers and pot them. I'm especially interested in seeing updates, Laura!!! I'm thinking I should do this too.

So exciting! Winter production of your own food, and donations of course, in the Greenhouse. Oh and "Hi Russell!"

You will certainly have a lot of tomatoes this winter. Nothing like fresh picked. Anyone else think pesto all winter when they saw that huge basil plant? 😊💖🦋🕊

Good morning, Laura☕️. You are such an inspiration to gardening. You make it lok so easy and fun. Great job with the drip, that appears to work much better. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

So great to see how you do things. And to tun the drip from your phone! Especially appreciate the absence of music with this particular video. Thank you so much!!! Very inspiring💗

I really enjoy these types of videos, basic gardening, no music. I love it. I hope all of your tomatoes take.

Laura your enthusiasm and energy is amazing planting more seeds and tomato plants I feel quite lazy just doing my few bits, now I’m totally incapacitated with a broken leg feel like your mum not able to move or do anything, hope her recovery is going well I will continue to watch your videos something to look forward to each day love to you and your family I enjoy the progress you are making. ❤️❤️❤️

Great video. I never knew you could do that with tomatoes. I learnt something knew today. So easy. Waiting to see how the back entrance way looks hurry up Benny.😂. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Good morning Laura you are the best😊

GM it's 4ish am in Mesa AZ! Going back to rest no Sun 🌞 yet!! Haha hagd🌞

Good morning Garden Answer. Thanks for sharing a tour of your greenhouse. Everything looks lovely.

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I don't know why I never thought of planting my tomato suckers. Probably a space issue with me but I'm going to watch how you do this and I'll be trying it for sure! Thank you for this great video!

Laura ..love the way you tackle the “job” ….full speed ahead ..large and in charge 🥰

Such a satisfying video. I don't vegetable garden so I get my fix watching you. A fun crafty project might be to make a framed montage of interesting empty seed packets to hang on the wall in the studio. Look forward to watching the progress of the tomatoes and seeded crops.

😳 WOW - don't believe I've ever seen the greenhouse so empty! Exciting anticipation to see what will soon fill up those tables!

Patiently waiting to see the brick pathway's progress! I bet it'll be so pretty.

I always get so motivated when you’re in the raised bed garden! But I noticed burn on your arb hedge…are they ok? Is that normal for summer or are you worried about them?

Good morning everyone ☺️🌞 I am striving to get me a heated greenhouse so I can grow some warm weather crops all all year. I'm in 7b so our winters aren't severe anymore but I would love to be able to grow tomatoes n peppers in the cooler months. But I'm starting my fall garden now 😀

How about replacing the boxwoods in the four terracotta pots with some small little fruit trees? To keep with the food theme in the vegetable garden. Just an idea.

Enjoyed this post. Routine veggie gardening often means unplanned maintenance. Loved seeing how you managed such a productive day.

love the idea garden tomatoes In the middle of the winter I really hope It works out for you

We started a sucker back in late June....we now are eating those. Close to house. Love this Laura and all you do! Thanks

I am really excited for the results, great to have some harvest on the fall.

A little off topic, but I was noticing as you were in the raised bed garden that several arbs are looking a bit toasted. Is that normal/expected given the heat, etc. you've had this year? I ask because I have an arb that is about 2 years old that has a similar look and trying to decide if I need to pull it...Also, "demi-longue" = half long as well :) Thanks as always!

Laura your work is simply amazing and always sharing marvelous ideas, you’ve been trained very well! 😘💐👏🙌❣️

Love it! The little potted tomatoes would be adorable at the sink in the Hartley!

When you were talking by the arbor and your camera was aimed toward the willow tree it looking like a picture puzzle. Sooo pretty. Good Job. Land is looking very pretty.

Hello Laura, is there some days where you feel you need a break from all the gardening? Did you know that tomatoes is a vegetable that people suffering with arthritis should avoid? I love tomatoes and make toasted tomatoes sandwiches everyday. Right now they field tomatoes are so sweet.

Good morning Laura and family 🌸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 You make things look easy, next Spring going to put in a drip system in my flower beds. Never knew you could take suckeres from 🍅 plants (all this time I was throwing them away) and plant them going to try that also thank 😊 you for sharing, have a great rest of the day.

Ive been amazed by this video, I always thought that the suckers had to be plucked out as soon as they started to grow… Is that why my tomato plants are so tall and thin? I have never seen tomato plants look like shrubs….. what a money saver tip this is. I will now go outside and see if there are any suckers that I have missed and see if I can repot them like you Laura. Wow

Another informative video! Thank you Laura. These are my favorite.

Okay Laura. What is your nail and hand/skin regimen? I know you don't often wear gloves so we need to know how you keep such well manicured nails. Seems superficial to ask but you just gotta tell us your behind the scenes practices. Thank you for your daily vlogs.

I have never had much luck with suckered that are much bigger than the first one you pulled some of those are huge. Excited to see if they work for you you and Aaron are always such and inspiration love you gardens and your channel

I love that Tom Thumb lettuce! So delicious! Just put tomatoes in the ground a few days ago. We're supposed to have a long, warmer than normal Fall, so I hope we get some fruit. ~ Lisa

Perfect timing, i have a friend with a new little greenhouse that wants to try some tomatoes this winter inside, going to go see if i can start some of her favorites from garden, they were included in your list. Questions: which is your favorite yellow tomato, bellini or patio sunshine? I have grown patio sunshine for two years, HUGE PRODUCER. And when you say put an order in, you referring to your parents garden center? I go through tons of potting soil (both regular and cactus, yep, you created a love for succulents for me) and seed starting soil. I like to get my seed supplies together early. Basil, do you start your Amazel Basil from seed? I could not find this year, and started Pesto Besto, which was good, but not the huge producer the Amazel was. OK, heading out to take clippings now.

Hi Laura. A tip that I picked up from a british vlog is when picking parsnips and even carrots, push them down firmly then pull and they pop right out without a fight.

The gardens at Monticello are amazing. If you've never been, there's one for your bucket list. Jefferson spent a lot of time in France and was an avid gardener, so am not surprised to see the "French" carrot seeds. He and his neighbor in the next county over (where I live), James Madison, used to compare gardening and farm notes. James and Dolley Madison had a French gardener couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bizet, who took care of their gardens.

Geez at this time of year my tomato plants come to the end of their cycle and start yellowing. Laura’s are still so green and vibrant.

I did the same thing this year early on. I have wild life, deer, etc that love to eat my tomatoes so I would prune the suckers early in the season rooted them way in my back yard to detour them from my main plants, and it helped.

If all the tomatoes take your family and friends will love you all the more. Nice fresh tomatoes in late fall early winter.

Thanks so much for posting. This was so interesting what you can do in your garden at a later time in the year. Wish we had that much season. Only thing left in our garden is tomato plants right now. My husband never plants fall crops, I guess he is done after busy summer. lol

I snap the suckers off - that way it had a node (not technically, but kind of) that will help them root

You got a lot accomplished today! Well done. Hope to see some little sprouts soon.

I miss seeing little Benjamin!

Fall is here. Thanks laura for your tips 💚✌👌💚💚

Can’t wait to see them grow!

We are just past noon here in the UK - hi Laura ☺️

I never knew you could do this with the suckers. I might have to try this next year.

Monticello is where I got my seeds too, the snap dragons are beautiful. Their gardens are packed with butterflies. 10 / 10 recommend, just be sure to try their rootbeer.

Can’t wait to see all the tomatoes!
