I live in Arizona, here we have a DRY HEAT. It’s very important to us hahaha. Anyway, I’m in a gardening group for Arizona and it is suggested that we actually let our tomatoes bush up. There WILL be airflow no matter how bushy the plant gets because it’s so dry heat, but there might not be shade. Our 110+ degree summers can be way too much for tomatoes and the extra foliage is very helpful.

I'm a first time gardener, and this year, I have my first raised bed garden. I started all of my plants from seed, and my little tomato seedlings were really struggling. I thought this summer would be a failure, but then I remembered this video. I dug up my tomato plants, made the hole deeper, put the egg in, cracked it, and planted the entire stem of the plants. WOW!!! I started noticing a difference within a week. Now they are growing so fast, and strong. I wish I had thought to take pictures each day to document the improvement. It was amazing! I'll never plant without the egg again. Thank you for all the videos you share with us. Your videos, especially your devotionals, have helped me through some pretty rough times.

Jajaja 😁) anticipating the tomato pruning video!Thank you madam for imparting your knowledge on this tomato newbie!

@billastell3753 5 лет назад

You are right that all those little nodes are potential roots and the more you can get in contact with the soil the better for the plant. I was impressed that you mentioned the advantage of laying the plant in sideway. Not many folks do that but I do. The advantage of being in sideways is the roots are near the surface where it is warmer in the spring then the roots go in deeper as they find they need to reach the ideal place to be. Excellent information. I'm going to try your egg method and avoid the traumatic experience by cracking the eggs.

@ItsMeNanaD71 5 лет назад

The eggshell gives calcium to the plants. Epsom salt is good to put in the holes while planting also. So I save my eggshells & crush them up & put plenty in the hole when I plant tomatoes. I honestly never thought of planting the entire egg. I may have to try that.

@ledahagel6553 5 лет назад

@kazan0217 5 лет назад

The reasoning behind the egg itself is the egg shells because they contain 93% calcium carbonate and 1% nitrogen, along with other nutrients needed for the soil. Many plants take calcium from the earth during its growth process. Although it is not really a nutrient that they lack that usually afflict the plants, but the main problem is that many times it comes manifested in a disease known as apical rot. Peppers, tomatoes or aubergines are some of the plants susceptible to apical rot caused by calcium deficiency. And of course we will end up with very healthy plants. Thank you for your tutorial they are excellent. Thank you for sharing as well with the rest of the world your knowledge.

@alexreith4877 5 лет назад

I add eggshells to my worm bin. I read that egg shells help prevent blossom end rot. My guess is the calcium. I wonder if there's a specific advantage to using the whole egg. Those of us without chickens of our own don't necessarily have the budget for buying eggs just for our tomato plants 😬 but I will hang onto a bunch of shells and add them directly to the tomatoes this year. Also, are you familiar with the garden uses for aspirin? Aside from as a rooting hormone, it seems to be used to combat mold/fungus. I'm looking into it because it tends to be either hot and dry, or cold and damp here for weeks at a time and it's hard to predict which, but both are pretty challenging.

@joannmahaffey1068 5 лет назад

Great video. The reason for the egg is that the calcium in the shell prevents blossom end rot and generally tomatoes need extra calcium. It also seems to help prevent blight ....SO ....All you need to do is save your egg shells all winter and throw several in each hole. I bet if you do a test you will find that you can get the same results and eat the egg.

I feel like we are related. I've only been following for a couple of months but I feel so connected. I love your honesty and your energy. I've been gardening all my life. All my family gardens at different levels. I started with grandparents because they were all in the country but we lived in the city. We spent our weekends helping in the gardens in the country. We used to get really hot at one of my grandparents houses and we would go swim in the river to cool down. That was in Michigan. Now for the past 15 years we've been in Tennessee. My daddy was my garden inspiration. He passed in July. We used to have long conversations on the phone about gardening. Last year, when my daddy was not well, I went back and forth to Michigan several times and he looked so forward to me bringing my different harvests. The last one I brought him was my long beans. He ate them raw. He had never seen those before. I cherish those times. Thank you for making your vlogs so personal. It's my favorite. My grandpeeps love it too!

Julie Wallace true. I lived in Northwest Indiana, in Hebron up by Valparaiso Indiana. I miss the beautiful soil and being able to just drop one seed and it exploding in gorgeous healthy growth. it's because of the snow, it replaces the nitrogen every year that has been leached from the soil not to mention the constant composting of leaves every fall and also the fact that all of that land in that part of the country was all marsh actually hundreds of years ago. I moved back home to Texas, up in Shiner tx, home of shiner beers. I guess im an hour north of Victoria tx. anyway I can tell you it is horrible trying to grow anything here now unless you're going part shade for the afternoon or something.

Hello, sweet sis! I am just so encouraged by your tender spirit and by your kind words and helpfulness to others....and the Lord speaks through you to me in your garden devotionals...you're truly a blessing and I wanted to thank you. Also, I don't know what it is exactly but watching your videos is like going to an art gallery! They're just gorgeous! God bless you, your marriage, your children and your family as a whole. =)

Kiddie pool: growing strawberries in mine. Took two heavy duty dog pools I purchased for our dogs last year, turns out they prefer playing in their outside water container not the expensive heavy duty swimming pools I bought for them so am making lemonaid from my lemons and repurposing those to grow strawberries in our raised garden. Love your channel thanks for all the tips and tricks and trying the egg trick with our tomatoes this year.

I have a cottage garden in England. I'm growing tomatoes outside for the first time. Your video is informative, you're helpful as well as being in touch with nature and a brilliant gardener … the list goes on! Thank you so much. I've made a little hill for each tomato plant and I'm going to do the egg thing too.

the only problem with this in northern uk is that our season is short, very short so that time its spent providing those extra roots, there would be not enough time for fruiting before it gets too cold :(

You explain things so well. Your a great teacher too! Thanks so much I've learned so much through all your videos and have gotten so many great ideas for this spring!

I’m in southeast Ohio and it’s the same way. Humid as can be and absolutely no way I could not prune my tomatoes.

@valerieelfering692 5 лет назад

I bury my kitchen scraps all over in my garden beds too but I've never done a whole egg, only the shells. My tomatoes always do great with all the kitchen scraps organic materials I add to the soil but I'm going to try a whole egg now too!

Do you prune your determinate tomatoes?

@pershop4950 4 года назад

@@Sheywh12 You added the same ingredients/nutrition that eggs provide, you just do it at a later time.

@aimebouch 5 лет назад

if you live in a colder area such as in Canada, instead of planting your tomatoes deep because the ground is colder the deeper you go and it slows the growth, plant your tomatoes in a trench to the rooting will take place in the warmer upper soil in your garden.

Planting horizontally is the only way to plant tall plants.

@back2rootsmyalabamahomeste186 5 лет назад

We were always taught to put eggshells in hole, its the calcium the plant needs to prevent blossom end rot. You can also add a calcium supplement, wejust always had chickens on the farm and saved the shells after breakfast.

@leslieheavingham8986 5 лет назад

Thank you! That was really helpful and informative!! I never thought about planting them so deep! AND...was quite fascinated to learn about the egg 🥚 trick!! How cool!! 😄 I am definitely going to do that!!

@lisaO0514 5 лет назад

I absolutely love that you wear a pretty dress when you garden. It’s reminiscent of what I imagine perfect gardening to look like. The trellising, the raised beds, the greenhouses, the Potager style planting, a sundress - to me, it’s my little romantic notion of how I think it should be. Oh, and how you never look like your melting in the dead of summer is beyond me. I’d be a sweaty, soaked, dripping hot mess. Last thing - I want you to know that I have learned SO much from you. I don’t have much room to garden and I live in a 5b zone (Nebraska) and growing anything other than corn and soybeans is a challenge. However, you have taught me that I don’t need lots of space or perfect conditions to have a beautiful garden. So, flowers it will be this year! Thank you so much for freely sharing your knowledge AND your life. I bless you back. ☺️

I'm totally inline with your setup and methods Why? well to me it's because I'm also a 7b, guesstimate of 3 to 400 miles east but also a 7b. spacing, pruning, even how you setup the cattle panels with a 2 foot gap cause I'm planning on the maters making at least 6 foot before I may top them. But the one thing is I also plant the maters around a foot deep and alot of the online folks don't agree with that. But that's ok, I'll continue to do that and you are doing the same. So I'm not the only one. My planters I prune the lower leafs before the plant wastes too much energy into supporting them, smaller and the stems get stronger, roots as well more energy put to them. The planters remind me of of palm tree mater plants cause of this until I put them into the ground. Once they get in the ground in the garden, they really take off once they get established. Keep doing what you are doing. Makes me smile cause I've been doing this way a long time. great video...
