I over-wintered my Better Boy, and pruned it to manage its spread. I just counted 19 tomatoes ripening. I also have volunteers that I moved a bit, but have been growing for 2 months already and are going on 5 feet tall. Yesterday, I put in my Ukrainian and Siberian indeterminates I grew from seed. It’s going to be quite a tomato season once the sun decides to shine here in So Cal.

I had peppers in the ground on April 15th, they had a 37 degree temp night while hardening off and a 33 degree night a week after being in ground out of 50 plants ZERO are the "mythical stunted growth" as they are currently 3.5 ft tall and loaded with fruits. Peppers are a perineal they are genetically adaptable to harsh conditions

@bellepfeiffer3630 Год назад

Thanks for doing another tomato/pepper video. I'm a new gardener and because my yard is all tree roots and rocks under the lawn, I'm planting in 14, 22"x20"H pots. This year I decided to try growing seeds - there were some unexpected humorous surprises. But I wanted you to know that all the tomato seeds came up and as soon as they were an inch or two I put them in the red cups at the bottom and added soil as they grew. They all are doing well and compared to other things that stayed in the other growing cells, anything in the large or small red cups are doing better. Next time I will probably start them in the red cups rather than transplant. I started them on March 15th, they have been planted out on May 19th (With night domes - cause, zone 4) and are now about 20" tall. Thanks for all the instruction.

@jeannamcgregor9967 Год назад

What actually works to stop blossom end rot is thick enough surface mulch (1" plus) to keep the soil consistently moist. This is especially important when growing in containers since those will dry out more quickly.

@IronDruids 4 месяца назад

If you are going to bury your string make sure your string is not biodegradable. It does work and doesn't pull out or anything. But I did not think about this detail and a couple days ago (2 weeks after transplanting my tomatoes) the string in the ground has degraded and torn and I've had to go through and tie a loop around each stem.

@juliamayers6222 Год назад

I'm in SE England and need to put my peppers and tomatoes out but the weather not great, expect around 8 degrees C tonight. I'm growing Black Russian, Red Oxheart, Yellow Pear and Roma tomatoes and various HOT chillies. Another great video, thanks

@lindysmallwood2039 Год назад

Oh dang I put the crab and lobster in the soil with my peppers. Just ordered the kelp. Will see what happens. I have a very small garden so I grow my tomatoes in pots. I’m hoping my husband can build a structure to use with the string method. With the terrible heat we had in AR last year I’ve put the tomato area we’re it will be away from the sun when it sets. Lost all the blooms last year. Love the video. Making notes. Blessing❤️🌺

@omarelayach4414 Год назад

Ive heard a couple mentions of pruning indeterminates but not cherry tomatoes and still am a bit confused..for things like sun gold or super sweet 100, do we prune to single stem?

@elisabetk2595 Год назад

Those are cherries - don't prune except where you have to. They'll produce tomatoes everywhere once they get going. I let them bush out, but I'm not shy about pruning if I have to to keep them out of walkways - they are like kudzu. You can also collect suckers to start new plants or give to friends where they are getting a little too crazy. By the way I'm in central Texas, long hot summers. The trick to keeping them going is to mulch heavily, and prune off anything that starts to look old or brown or diseased. They do slow down or stop when it gets too hot but unless that does them in (mulching deep really helps here) they'll pick up again with any passing front or storm system that cools things off just a little.

@GALanham-b2l Год назад

I will respectfully disagree with you in regards to the peppers. YES we live in Southern New Mexico. Our license plates are of red and green chile. Most consider New Mexico the chile (YES that is how it is spelled too) capital of the world. Getting to much sun??? Where we live triple digits are rather common in the summer months. Then we DO NOT shade our chile either. That includes ALL peppers. Second as far as pinching the peppers. That all depends on the variety. For some it helps and for others it does not. Anyhow, as always, Thank You for another informative as well as interesting video!

@caterjunes3426 Год назад

Wow, did I learn a lot from this! I've been growing tomatoes for ages, peppers more recently, and still there's more to take in. I love that about gardening -- you're always learning something new! Thanks for your clear, friendly, and informative videos!

I use powdered milk to provide calcium to tomatoes. Just add a little to the water each time you water. Have not had any problems with blossom end rot.

@debbiep7419 Год назад

I finally got my tomatoes planted last weekend. I'm planning to get some of your favorite Neptune's Harvest products but I see they only come in bags, not those nice buckets like you have. You said to remove the suckers because they produce more leaves than fruit but then you said we could grow them into new plants - would those plants have lower production than an original plant?

@NextLevelGardening Год назад

Yes they recently switched to bags. So I'm recycling my buckets. I haven't had them be as productive but usually it's later in the year so that could be part of it

@phenixwars1 Год назад

Awesome video!! It's still going down in the 40's some nights here. So I haven't been able to put mine outside cause I can't trust myself to remember to cover them and uncover them. Hopefully soon though. I've been trying to focus on flowers this year to learn more. Need to go rewatch your dahlia video.

@donhaderle9983 Год назад

Great video! Aside--birds this year have been ravenous in my garden and are my new pest. never have had this before. They are going after foliage on peppers, eggplant, squash, cucumbers, radish tops, and dill. They devour all of these to the point there is not much left. I don't know if they are eating the foliage and/or using it for their nests. Everything is netted now, but they are still opportunistic if there is anything that might be poking out of the net they get. Anyone else have this? How did you deter?

@camicri4263 Год назад

I don't know, but maybe leave all that you prune aside for them and put a bird bath with water and maybe they will use what you give them.... I hope it works, if you try it and is working please let me know! Have a blessed growing season!

@elisabetk2595 Год назад

We always have issues with birds snipping into our tomatoes. I've seen and explanation that usually they are going for water, so a nearby birdbath or fountain can help. This year I'm going to hang shatterproof christmas ornaments all over my plants. You can paint them. The idea is that birds will go for red or orange or yellow ones thinking they are tomatoes, discover they're no good, and then move on elsewhere. The trick is to get them in place while everything else is still green so the birds don't get a chance to figure out you do have the good stuff there too. I may have missed the boat because I just got my first three ripe tomatoes today and the birds got two of them.

@elwmcp0910 Год назад

We have had birds destroy of lot of my tomatoes and a pepper plant this year. We have never had that problem before either.

I’m assuming it was some type of viral disease but was hesitant to cull it as it had 5 tennis size tomatoes on it. I topped it and trimmed all the dying branches until the tomatoes finally flushed enough to pick them cut the rest to the ground. I haven’t seen any of this on the other plants so hoping that was the only one. I haven’t been able to find any info that would have caused this.

Been watching your videos and learning a lot, thank you. Going to put a garden in but am so confused with the NPK. Which vegetable wants the higher N or P Wouldn’t you give higher N at the beginning to get lots of leaf growth for tomatoes and peppers and then hit the plants after with more of the P and K🤷‍♀️Do u have a video on what numbers to give a vegetable. It would be great to have someone explain this to new gardeners. I understand what each number does, but as for which vegetable needs more of is confusing.

@lindacgrace2973 Год назад

For perfect watering: use a wicking bed. First invented in the Australian outback, you create a reservoir, separate the gravel and water in the reservoir from the dirt with a porus membrane (gardening cloth or used carpet works fine) then fill the bed. You have to water from the top when setting out plants and never water again, as the plant roots draw up exactly the correct amount of moisture. Refill the reservoir as needed (in my case, in arid Arizona, about weekly). Peppers and tomatoes love it.

We don't get many mid-to-high 50 nights here in Montana. Granted this is my first year growing peppers. Are they stunted, I wouldn't know. They have been out for weeks and are flowering and fruiting. I did pick off the first set of flowers when they were transplanted. Hoping for a nice crop.

@DDGLJ Год назад

Gardening in MT is so difficult- I am in zone 3 and finally gave up and built a greenhouse. It is barely keeping the temp. above 50 at night- but plants are protected from weather and wildlife, so all of that helps. Otherwise, it's just an uphill battle around here!

@elisabetk2595 Год назад

I honestly think it's inconsistent temps, especially soil temps, that really get them. They always seem way more resilient to cold temps in the ground than they do in those small pots. We can have big swings here (Texas) in the spring, like a 95 degree day followed by a 32 degree night. Peppers don't like that kind of thing but if they've had a chance to establish the odds are better for them.

In this one you just lowered them down and kept them in the same spot. Am I making up that part where you shift everyone one hook to the left? Also, as the old step starts to lay on the ground, would it boost the plant to cover it with soil and let it grow new roots?

It might be just me but I can’t understand why peppers are so popular to grow. I just have no real use for them. I enjoy your content

Alot of times if you have the correct nutrients like calcium and the plant cannot take it up its because the ph of the soil if off so you get nutrient lockout were it cannot uptake the nutrients also cause by imbalanced nutrients.
