I found you on a search. We haven’t had a veggie garden in years. I’ve forgotten a lot of what I used to know. 🤦🏽‍♀️Now that we’re empty nesters we thought we’d start up again. Little veggies gardens this time. I love your videos. You’re such easy person to listen to and explain tips and tricks so well. Your video of “ Every Gardener Needs A Chair” is so perfect. Only gardeners get it. Thank you for doing these videos.

Every year my tomatoes would get all sorts of disease and die, I thought my soil was the problem. Last year I followed this pruning advice and I didn’t loose any plants!🌱🍅

@davecarr1939 Жыл бұрын

disease in tomatoes plants is always soil borne. if you fix your soil (and/or mulch heavily) you wont have those problems.

Here's to still learning and trying again. And oh how much has changed since I followed you through the garden 3 yrs ago! I bless you.

@emeryrowand2903 Ай бұрын

I'm not sure if your trellis system allows this. It may seem odd, but if you can cover the tops of the plants with a 30% or 40% shadecloth, it takes some of the stress off the tomato plants and they will set better fruit and often produce even more fruit because the plant is a little less stressed. Try it and you will thank me!

Thank you for your advice! I live in Houston area and have been here 12 years after leaving California where I could grow anything I wanted it seemed.here I have struggled with tomatoes due to the heat. Last year my strategy for growing tomatoes was to put a whole bunch of determinate varieties (Roma + homestead, a supposed heat loving variety) in the ground in early spring. By June I was up to my eyeballs in tomatoes, so I would say it was my successful year since I have been in Texas!

Hi Jess, I live in Alabama. My first year of gardening I didn't have horn worms but then again, I planted my tomatoes too close together so very little fruit. The next year, my tomatoes had a very short life due to the horn worms!! So I did some research and it appears that they hate basil. So now I only plant tomatoes covered with marigolds and basil. After learning how to prune the basil, I keep it from bolting and bushy. I save the cuttings in the freezer until I am ready to make some pesto. The next year I never saw a horn worm or its damage. I think the following year I saw just one horn worm and no real damage. No black light for me. I think companion planting is awesome!!

I like that you showed multiple views of pruning indeterminate tomato plants because I like to be sure I get the principle of doing it right and since shoots come up where they feel like it. I am concerned about adding tomato leaves to foods, and sauces because I have always been taught at home and in a Plants and People Biology course that only the tomato fruit is edible and not anything else of the plant. I am sure the leaves lend a great aroma to foods and the fact you are still doing great vlogs show that you are alive is good to see. I hope it stays that way because your vlogs are better, interesting and a breath of fresh air to most of what’s on TV. Best wishes to you and your garden!
