Eventually the vegetable crops succumb to the shorter days of autumn and facing some of my least favorite tasks on the farm is inevitable...end of season field cleanup becomes one of our main chores around the farm. Today we tackeled the tomato patch and one of the important things that needs done before we can pull up the plastic and drip tape from the tomato patch is to remove the stakes and string...this is the process we use. Filmed October 4-5, 2024. #farming #garden #vegetables

Thanks Becky…I just returned from a 4 day, 75 mile backpacking trip in the northeast Michigan wilderness on the High Country Pathway, now heading out on an RV trip with my wife.

Farming is hard work. You have established good processes for all the things that need done on your farm. You and your family/employees (all you today) do it well 👊

We live in Southern California , Farms are everywhere and your channel has definitely given insight on how it all works , we really enjoy your vids , thank you.

@Bernie5172 7 дней назад

We grew abt 400 rows of tomatoes ( 10 chain long ) every spring/summer. Banging in stakes -Pulling stakes out and winding up the wires were my least favourite jobs on the farm

We're starting tomato cleanup next week. 3500 feet of row. I've gone to cutting each plant at the soil level and throwing it in the driveway to dry down, then bush hog. It'll take a few days.

Have watched your videos all summer long. You’re operation is excellent morning glory sucks when it in your fields. Worst thing you can see when combining corn or beans

@madampolo 7 дней назад

I have a big problem with morning glories on our fence. They are beautiful and I enjoy them, but you just can't get rid of them.

@wishwellfarms 3 дня назад

Fortunately, we don’t have it in our corn and beans at all, but it can sure be a bear in our vegetables, I plan to rotate to three different fields next year to try to eradicate it. Thanks for all your support this summer!

@plarbl2 7 дней назад

The clean-up is usually all at once. Like decorating for holidays, you add to the work, and then cleaning is like Why Did I put it out so much?

@wishwellfarms 3 дня назад

Yep kinda like that

@Richard-p8i 7 дней назад

As you were pulling up tomato 🍅 stakes, I kept thinking this video is rich with " she said" jokes! I won't share them but the potential is tempting!

@wishwellfarms 7 дней назад

Oh my goodness, you are so right, I never even thought about that lol!

@suave47 6 дней назад

Almost sad to see the season end. Gonna miss the weekly videos, but all good things must end What size and type of wood do u use for your stakes. I used 1x2 cedar this year but found they got super brittle and could barely hold up the tomatoes plants after just a few months. Def need to go a diffrent direction on them. Thx again for all the work and keeping us update this season. Learned alot. Looking forward to next year.

@wishwellfarms 6 дней назад

Thanks Eric! Still have three or four harvest videos coming…ain’t done yet, and I still plan on putting out two videos per week all off season of how I plan my crop plantings, seed selection, farm history stories, machinery tours and dozens of other vegetable farm related content…my list is so long I hope I can get it all in before starting greenhouses in January! I believe our tomato stakes are 1x1 or maybe 1.25x1.25 pressure treated pine…I have some over a decade old and still going strong.

I have to do that but I only had 8 tomato plants.😂Thats a lot to do.

@TheChessUniverse 7 дней назад

Do you bush hog all the crops when they are done yielding or just certain ones like the tomatoes?

@wild_insomnia 7 дней назад

Earlier,when you had cabbage , were you forced to toil longer than you would like to ,in order to sell it out ? I can also see that there is no more snail damage on my cabbage plants ,snails have already dug into the ground for winter hibernation. But these miscreants also lay their eggs at this time of year, and were ready to devour my carrots,every second one had one or couple snails near it,ready for a spree.

@wishwellfarms 6 дней назад

Boy glad I’ve never had to deal with snails! We quit growing cabbage because just didn’t have much demand for it in my area.

@madampolo 7 дней назад

I watch another vegetable farm channel. They don't stake their field tomatoes but just let them lay on the black plastic. They said it was too much work to stake them and have success in growing them without the stakes.

@wishwellfarms 6 дней назад

I know, the Veggie Boys don’t stake them and I guarantee they’re losing so much yield…they could probably plant half as many plants if they staked them. All major tomato growers around the country stake their tomatoes. I’ve tried it before and 2/3 of the crop ended up being junk.

@michaelpardue2400 7 дней назад

Have you ever planted your tomatoes on rhe corn slik roll it keep the weeds down .

@Richard-p8i 2 дня назад

Jason, you prove that private farming is a far better system of feeding people because your heart and passion go into the care of your crops! Mao Tse Tung's glorious experiment of collective farming proved to be a tragic failure because Chinese citizens felt zero passion into farming land they did not own.

I do the same process on my farm it isn’t a great job but has to be done

@wishwellfarms 3 дня назад

Yep, just like many of the end of season jobs on the farm. To be honest it really wasn’t that bad but was struggling for a good title lol

@mikewalter8547 6 дней назад

My grandfather told me never incorporate tomatoes into ground it will spread blight in soil. So we let them freeze get crispy and burn them. Still have to pull stakes and strings. I dont know if thats true or not.

@wishwellfarms 6 дней назад

He’s probably right but man that sounds like a big pain in the butt…do you pull them all out to burn them so you don’t burn the plastic? We just rotate into non tomato ground and don’t come back to that same spot for at least 4 years.

@mikewalter8547 5 дней назад

STAKES AND STRING....NO THANKS. I GROW VARIETIES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE SUCH INTENSE LABOR. HAD NO ISSUES JUST MOUNTAINS OF TOMATOES

@wishwellfarms 4 дня назад

We only grow determinate varieties, which only grow about 4 feet tall. Yes, you can let them sprawl on the ground and we have done that in the past and it’s just a big nasty mess of dirty Tomatoes with extra insect damage…well worth the effort to stake and string, you will triple your yield of number one fruit
