Is the double leader method good for dwarf indeterminate varieties? (I have husky cherry red)

Loved this, great advice - glad to see you back lately! Particularly enjoyed the bit with the chickens going mental in the background while you were calmly discussing bed placement and planting strategy. 😆 In the future, I'd love to see some info on companion planting with flowers to deter pests. You see a lot of that for tomatoes/peppers/etc. but rarely for brassicas and salad greens, which in my experience seem to get the crap end of the stick when it comes to pests around my parts. Particularly brussels sprouts and cabbage moths... what a nightmare. Thanks again, keep it up!

How soon should you start pruning? Do you let them get to a certain height before you start taking suckers off? All of my small plants are already flowering, should I be pollinating those flowers or letting it get bigger before I start encouraging fruiting? Thank you so much that was so helpful!!

Mother Nature is really socking it to my garden this year. I didn't have an issue at all with BER last year. This year it's hotter than the devils buttcrack out there and the plants are having troubles dealing with it. Last week really did a number on my Romas. Every single one I started from my own seeds and even the 7 store bought and including the 20 I grew for my mom and gave her ALL have BER. The store bought Supersteaks, Betterboys and cherry tomatoes are fine. These Romas are little finicky buggers. Hopefully I still get a harvest. Time will tell. There are still plenty of green maters out there but I must've removed 60 tomatoes between yesterday and today.

Thank you for that! I think I'll revisit this topic next year perhaps. I've had a lot of luck this year avoiding the vast majority of BER. One change has been growing Granadero for our paste tomatoes - they are SO much less susceptible to BER than any of the other many varieties we've tried.

I'm in a very hot, dry climate as well. We've had good luck with Corinto and Unagi from Johnny's. If you like the Japanese style cukes, we also like their Nokya line. Fair warning though - I haven't found any variety that really stands up well to 115 degrees and no rain. We have to try and swap in new plants as the old ones get beat up and less productive.

I’ve never grown eggplant….my husband went to a garden center sale at a nursery up in the mountains near us (odd we have never been but they grow wholesale and are only open to the public on Saturdays). They had veggies half off AND buy one get one free so he came home with some really big, nice, already flowering eggplant plants. Sigh We don’t even eat egg plant but in about to stick these in my already full garden just so he can see what they do lol.

I put my squash out early, bought clear plastic glasses put a hole in each side near the rim. Cover the new plant with the cup and insert wood screeners through the holes and into the dirt to keep them from blowing away. Also cut some slits in the top for air. So each seeding has its own greenhouse. No heavy rain can bother it no frost either. When is To big enough and weather better. Just uncover. I did this with my seedling tomato’s also.

Tips for beans? I started several types from different companies 7-8 weeks ago. The plants are finally 4-5 inches tall. I set them out weeks ago after last frost & they basically haven't grown, its probably too cold. 37-50 at night & 50-90 during the day back & forth. Theyve been fertilized, mulched, etc.

We use cloth bags and layer chopped raw seaweed we find on the coast , this retains a measured feed to the plants on a regular basis, I realise where you live may not accommodate this but if you can source this resource grab it , my family tree and history tells of this method being use as far back as the 16th century, all the best .
