YAYYYY!!!!! ANOTHER ONE!!!! TY you helped a bunch with my issues with soil and pests!!! glad you keep putting harvest videos, im about to put a set of plants into a greenhouse to see how they workout during the wintertime. never tried it before .
I would really like to see some garden tours of you just walking through your garden and showing things and talking about your personal experiences and thougts. It would really make the video more personable and interesting vs of standardized. Give us some plant love!
Wow! That’s a lot of tomatoes. I had one Roma that volunteered itself from last year. Had a bunch of cherry tomatoes that always come back up every year. I started 4 beefsteaks from seed. I grow the beefsteaks for fried green tomatoes because they work better. They have a bit more flesh than celebrities. Right before frost with the cherry and Roma’s I pick the last of the green ones and make salsa verde with them. It’s a good way to use the fall cilantro, green onions and chili peppers.
I'm going to try this. I've heard several people recommend this. They say it will thicken your sauces. Sounds like a great way to use all of the harvest
I counted 32 from those 2 plants, which is amazing! I am curious on your spacing for these tomatoes. I'll go back and rewatch your video on your fall planting to see if it was mentioned. I'm just awful at figuring out the right spacing for things.
32 plump Roma tomatoes!! I love your channel, I learn so much and I especially love your positive attitude. We moved from Maryland (zone 7a) to Florida (zone 10a) in late April & I am finally getting a container garden started. They say I can start tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers & beans now so I've done that, along with starting my cool-weather seeds.. I hope I get a crop like yours come Christmas, or maybe even Thanksgiving! 🌲😋🍅❤️ Enjoy your honeymoon!
I NEVER comment on videos but you are great. You are the man. I'm in the same growing zone and have only bought your seeds for the coming year. I will watch as much of your videos I can.
I appreciate seeing how determinate tomatoes fit into the fall garden. In the CA Central Valley, it gets so hot so fast, that I start my tomato seeds in late January/early February, to plant by late April. But the plants get super stressed in the heat and my last tomatoes are harvested in late June/ early July. I mostly grow tomatoes for canning. It's nice to know I can get an awesome crop of tomatoes for canning, with determinate plants in the fall. I'm so looking forward to 2022. Thank you so much!
I love your show. I don't know why it took me so long to find it. I've had a great crop of tomatoes this year. The plants are over 7 ft. tall and we've canned about 45 qts so far and there are truckloads coming on it we don't get a freeze. This video was fabulous. Next year I'm going to have some Romas in my garden. Thank you.
Got your Amish paste seeds over last winter and this year they are doing fantastic! They have been yielding tomatoes now for 6 weeks and many more to come. Frost will get these plants before they burn off, good stuff Luke!
I did not know you could plant tomatoes so late, especially in Michigan. I didn't know the difference between indeterminate and determinate as far as the amount of harvest all at once. For canning and storage, planting determinate must be the way to go. I never thought of that before, so thanks for the explanation of the difference. You are such a good teacher!
I counted 32 and my tomato’s that I planted in planter are at least 8 feet tall if had 3 harvests so far and there’s more tomato’s and flowers blooming also I had flowers that didn’t produce in the past that all the sudden fruited tomato’s so I have more growing and plants still getting taller first time growing a garden myself doing very welll
I'm astounded at my tomatoes this year. Due to weather we had to replant 3 times! We ended up with so many that 7 plants were against the wall of the house which gets no sun whatsoever. Then the heat dome stayed on us most of the season! As soon as it left the tomatoes took off! So far I have put up 32 pints each of tomatoes, salsa, tomatoe sauce and stewed tomatoes. We are nearing the end here but they are still flowering and putting on new. I have put up26 pints of green tomatos salsa Verde and there are still many Roman, cherry and regular tomatoes turning red. What was the real shocker is how well the plants who never saw sun did! They turned out to be all beefsteak and are huge! We've eaten many of thier ripe ones and until frost they will stay on the vine to ripen as much as possible. So despite poor beginnings and horrid weather, the 22 plants have done well. I put in a few new roma type to me and the weather has had little effect. They are twice the size of my usual Romas and as soon as I pull the steaks I will stick a tag away as I intend to plant them again next year. I was very surprised to get such a supply and its the first year I have not had to purchase any for my csnning.
What was the new to.A you tried? I am going to plant mostly Roma's next year saving some room for our favorite spiders. I have a separate area for cherries and grape. With all the new varieties I usually end up with way more than we need but they are fun and easy to give away.
This was exciting! I'm hoping to have my first crop of tomatoes since moving to central Florida by doing this. It's finally starting to cool down to mid-80's. My seedlings are almost ready. By late November, I will be harvesting. Thanks for the education.
I am definitely doing this next year. Probably do some in the spring also. I usually plant several varieties, mostly indeterminate but next year will be mostly determinate! I say that now but when I start ordering seeds who knows what will strike my fancy. I always order more than I have room for.
I grew just pomodoro cherry tomatoes and San Mariano’s last year and had a bumper crop from both! Expanding to others this year, including Super Snow White, Ildi, honey bubbles, as well as the two I planted and grew last year. Fingers crossed they all grow well!
You must have had your seedlings attain some great size before planting out to get that ripe of tomatoes by 3rd week of sept if planted in August...how long did you raise seedlings before planting? Our determinates generally go from end of May thru end of sept...
Luke I like the way you think of tomato Plants!!! Green Roma will you bring those into the house and let them ripen over the months??? 32-33 tomatoes that is a lot!!!
Next year I'm going to try stacking a whole lot of small determinate plants like these in pots on unused shelves in my greenhouse, I'm determined to get maximum production from the space and the shelves are not in the ideal position on the opposite side to where the indeterminate plants grow but I think there's probably a lot of unused potential.
We've already had five freeze-level nights, one of which was in the middle of August. 😒 I'm glad all my tomatoes are in my (unheated) greenhouse. There are a few nipped leaves, but I'm still getting lots of tomatoes. ❤️
I cannot hear, see, do any more tomatoes 😂 so over them this year!!! I hope this is my last pot of sauce/paste cooking! But I still have a few I couldn't bring myself to pull, just too many nice tomatoes on yet😂 then again, where my cucumber was a tomato must have landed and I have 100 some seedlings again, may be I will try one in the house again over winter😉
I live in Colorado, and this is my biggest harvest ever. One problem. I've got Cherokee Purple, Big Beef, 4th of July and a cherry. I haven't had a tomato yet, that has hit me with that authentic homegrown flavor. That sweet, earthy, have a party in my mouth kinda flavor. I use Trifecta. My plants are still very healthy. 😔
This seems like a great way to get a bumper crop for canning after to busiest of the growing season so you have time to can with out competing with the summer garden bounty for time!!!
I'm trying Roma's next year. This year I had San Marzano and they were horrible. Over half of them were tossed out due to end rot. I watered them the same as my other 5 varieties and they were the ONLY ones that had this issue.
I love your videos and have learned so much. My problem is that I cannot rotate my crops because of space limitations and growing mostly tomatoes and peppers. And cant do raised beds. What can i do?
Congratulations and outstanding gardening!!! What variety of Roma tomato please? Me and mine wish you and yours all things great and good; take care, be safe, all my best and God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠🐩✝️🙏👍
That sounds like inconsistent watering to me. Try watering a little less. From what I understand, overwatering/inconsistent watering can lead to the plant having problems up-taking calcium
This is just obscene. I’m surprised RU-vid hasn’t flagged this video and banned it as many tomatoes that is. I’ve been growing Roma the past 3 years, and I’m pretty happy with them. They produce well, they are very sturdy, and work for a lot of things. Plus, you spend less time cooking it down due to less water. One seed pack lasted me 3 years, but I had 6 each year but probably grew more starts in case something happened.
What about cloning for a second planting/ fall harvest? I tried this year but it was a bit too late for my short growing season. Will try again but make the clones a bit earlier next year.
PLEASE...HELP...🙂 Hi! I have a question that has nothing to do with this video subject. My question: how do I store my potted soil that I used in my greenhouse? It's out of the large containers and out of the greenhouse. I've read somewhere that I need to dry out the soil completely but not certain I can do that in time because of the overcast wettish weather. Do you have any great ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance!
So when you harvest that many at one time what do you do with them? Do you make sauce with them or something? If so you should show that process I would be interested to see how it’s done! Huge massive haul congrats!
I really like my SAN MARZANO tomatoes also. They grow to 7-8 feet tall and 50 fruits and up on each plant. Those Italians sure do know their tomatoes!!!
@@somai_1 I Just used miracle grow once every 2 weeks. I also used only rain water on them once every day. UNREAL amount of fruit per plant. Hope that helps you friend. Best of Luck!
Where can I purchase Roma tomato seeds? I did grow some pretty decent Roma tomatoes by planting the seeds from Roma tomatoes that I purchased at Aldis.
I have two tomato plants that grew together and are now about 1.5 feet tall. Will they last and produce even if they are 6 inches apart from each other or should I separate them? Also will they died if I have to cut their roots to separate them?
