Leaning and Lowering Tomatoes, Flooding and Gourds for Fall

Рет қаралды 22,434

3 жыл бұрын

The hydroponic tomatoes were ready to be leaned and lowered. There's a couple steps to doing this - first harvest, prune lower leaves, remove suckers, support clusters, prune clusters and finally lean and lower. We usually have to do this once a week. After I was done in the main greenhouse, I went out to the high tunnel to start some gourd seeds. We think this will be something fun to take to the farm market this fall. Back home, I got the electric fence around the garden up because I have dogs that like to go in there and dig up my plants! Hope you all are doing well out there. -Devon

Another wonderful video. I watched a different video where a tomato grower lowered the plant as they picked but didn't lean them she circled the vine around like a coil of a snake. I was thinkingvyou could do that but then I remembered there are 2 plants per box. I'm not sure if you could circle one and not the other. But seeing those lovely red tomatoes 😋 made my tummy rumble. Send that rain our way. Lol

Wow, you have to much rain and we're going through a drought. I put my order in for rain but not too much please. Great video Devon I've always wondered how this process was done. Planting our tomato plants in the high tunnel on the weekend. Our fence charger died a couple of days ago! We never have any luck with them, they only last one to two years at most. What brand was yours? Have a great day and stay safe! I'll pray you don't get to much rain. 🌼🌸🌷

@HomegrownPassion 3 жыл бұрын

The weather can always be crazy. We were in a bit of a drought, but now we are in a surplus. Hopefully a little comes your way soon. The fields finally dried out enough yesterday for all of our farmer neighbors to go back out to plant. My fence charger is a Patriot from Rural King. I'm honestly surprised it's still going, but it does a good job. Hope you have a fun weekend planting tomatoes!

@jameschupp2230 3 жыл бұрын

I've got to say, I learn something every video. Thank you! Your videos are always calming! And Thanks for sharing your amazing smile! I'm making a small greenhouse 14ft x 20ft out of some cedar trees that I had on the property. My main focus is Tomatoes #1, and then #2 Green Peppers, along with some hot peppers. I finally got a good amount of green peppers to sprout, but getting them to the next level, was a challenge. I transplanted them in potting soil while they were only about 2 1/2" tall, because they weren't looking very happy, with the leaves starting to yellow, but they are greening up now. But do green peppers always take a long time from seed to start to produce?

@HomegrownPassion 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. Our peppers seem to take forever in the younger stages. Seems like once summer soles around and the days get hot, then they take off. Good luck and I hope you get some big harvests!

Hi, seems to me you are only lowering the tomato vines and not moving them sideways. Wouldn't that give you more vine length? As long as you have space of course.

Devon, I wanted your feeling about compressing the soil too much. I compress alot and wondered after seeing you plant seeds in soil that seemed not to be compressed at all.
