Glad you like them! Thanks for your comment.

You are welcome. Thanks for your comments.

Thank you so much!

What a delightful experience! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, my dad had a “volunteer” tomato plant that bore fruit for several years. He was in Southern California so the weather allowed the “perennial” production. Many nights he’d pick a bowl full of tomatoes for his dinner. I think volunteers are often small tomatoes because they came from a hybrid fruit that’s reverting back to a dominant smaller ancestor? Just a semi-educated guess.

I had the same thing happen in a window box here in Paris! We had volunteer cherry tomatoes for a season!

Wow! How cool was that! I too had an experience similar to you. In my front yard, a huge vine grew. I let it grow. It put out inedible melons, but that thing was so long! It was in my front yard and anyone who walked by inquired . It had to get their by a bird dropping, it started up agains house, so I had to direct the vine to grow across my home, front porch and around the corner!! Lol….but I had fun that year with it….😊

I agree. We have soaker hoses in place for our tomatoes. Thanks for your comment.

You are welcome.

I have seen that done as well and had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me. I have never done that but if the sucker is long enough, that would really work well. Thanks for sharing this!

Rikki: You are so welcome and thank you for watching our channel. Jim

@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you Jim and Pam. Have a lovely day.

Yes, let us knw how it works out.

Sounds great! Thanks for your comments.

You are welcome. So glad you like the videos.

Thank you very much!

Glad it was helpful! Jim

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

Your welcome

So glad it was useful!

Glad it was helpful!

J. Glad we could help you. Jim

You're welcome!

Oh yes! That would work perfectly!

That was my thought exactly, seeds are getting harder to come by , especially Heritage Seeds. This would be a good way to increase our seed banks .

You are welcome! thanks for watching.

You're welcome! Jim

You're welcome 😊

Thank you. That is a pumpkin plant on the trellis--it is growing very well but so far has only produced one pumpkin! I am still in learning mode, for sure!

You're welcome!

Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

That is wonderful!

You're welcome!

I am always learning new things that I feel the same way about! I think was are both never too old to learn new things--and it is delightful!

@@RoseRedHomestead I so agree.

Thank you for that feedback! Much appreciated.

Do you know about pollinating your tomatoes with a vibrating toothbrush. Just touch each blossom for 2 or 3 seonds and you will get 100% pollination get one at dollar store.

@@waynegreening5247 Excellent suggestion, Wayne. I did not. Good to know!!!! 👍

@@Stephenrsm7600 I cut the bristles off for only purpose tool

Thanks!

I've pollinated with Q-tips before. this sounds great!

Thanks for watching.

You're so welcome! Glad you are enjoying the videos.

We used 16 foot cattle panels. They really work well. We will be showing how to put them in place in a new video coming soon.

Can't wait to see how to set them up. Thanks!

Thank you. I hope we actually get one!

That is fabulous! I am going to try a few things like that in our greenhouse.

There are lots of videos about container gardening. Start with something you like to eat planted in a large pot or 5 gal. (light colored) bucket.

Southern facing is great! You could do some container gardening on that deck.

Lidi: If they grow. Jim

Thanks.

That is a good plan!

Good information...thank you!

Oh thank you for pointing this out. I'm going to try this. Could you share you nutrient solution. Thank you

For 5 gallons of nutrient solution I use: 10 mG of Masterblend 4-18-38 5 mG Epsom salt Dissolve this in 1-gallon of the water and when dissolved, then add: 10 mG of calcium nitrate with 4 gallons of water This makes 5 gallons of nutrient solution. Available as a kit from Amazon and others.

Try one plant. All of you need to know how to grow food hydroponically. It may come in handy in the near future.

@@benthere8051 Thanks for the encouragement!

No. Just plain tap water. Takes about 2 weeks for the roots to get as long as shown here.

@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you , I was just curious .

Yes, they would survive the winter in your house.

I am going to try some veggies indoors this winter, I got a book on it, Indoor Kitchen Gardening. (I'm in the very cold north, nothing survives over the winter). I thought how lovely fresh veggies would be in the winter, even if just a little successful!

Thanks.

Tomatoes are the only one that I know of, but there may be more.

Thanks.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, that color of sunglasses would be gorgeous with your red hair as well!

Great!

So glad it was useful!

That is what I used to do before I learned this as well!

We live in Utah near Zion National Park. Long hot summers.

That is fantastic. I am so happy and excited for you! Just think of all the things you will be able to do!

@@RoseRedHomestead We had inspections Friday. And the inspectors could not believe how great shape it was in for 107 years! All systems have already been recently updated. First thing im starting is a garden. And i want to buy a canner and start canning. Love your videos. I have never canned before. But helped grandma make jam once. I remember her using wax on top of the strawberry jam?

Congratulations on your new home. Look into a Harvest Right freeze dryer. They look superior to canning for long term food storage. They say you can freeze dry meat. Lots of videos out there too.

I have done it both ways and prefer scissors. But use what works best for you.

Thank you! We are working on videos all the time and will include some for using the Max.

We need to help her channel grow by sharing her content with others , which is what I've been doing with like minded friends .😊

You are welcome.

Thanks for sharing. I tried Rutgers for the first time this year and they grew very thick stems and very tall, but no tomatoes..at least not yet. It was too hot most of the summer. Some of our tomatoes are finally putting out baby tomatoes and we should have good weather until into November. Plus, I am moving some of these sucker starts into the greenhouse in a few weeks when it gets finished.

Wonderful! I wish you great success!

I love the way that works! Hopefully we will have a greenhouse full of tomatoes this fall and winter.

I feel like I have poison thumbs at times! LOL

You are welcome.

Not sure yet--this will be my first attempt. Our old greenhouse did not support growing in cold weather.

So glad you found valid information before you did that. It is so difficult to sort through what is out there and know what is safe and what is not. Thanks for your comments.

Never feel that way just because you didn't know something. I have you beat! I am 77 and just learned this about a year ago! LOL

@@RoseRedHomestead I just found your videos a couple of days ago and I am really enjoying them. It is so good to hear an intelligent person who is interested in the truth about canning and is able to back up what your saying. I am tired of watching videos to find them taking "bubbles" out of a jar that has no liquid in it! Or talking about cleanliness while wiping their hands on their pants or apron. I am having only one problem canning. My canner is almost identical to yours and I raw pack chicken. Most of the jars are boiling and seal, but I always ht ave one or two that are not boiling and don't seal. I try very hard to make sure the canner is centered over the burner, but still happens. I just go ahead and use the jar of chicken that didn't seal. The chicken is cooked even though there is no bubbling from juices. I don't re-can for one or 2 jars. After seeing your instant pot video, I may get one. I'm canning for one now as my husband died last year. Thank you.

You're welcome!

By all means! That should work great!
