Not out of control, but we got a massive hail storm that oblitered 80 percent of the leaves. Luckily I hadn't snipped the suckers in a couple weeks, so I did a ton of trimming and the solid deep roots have got those suckers growing like crazy. It went from nearly bare 4 ft stalks to some respectable growth pretty quickly. Like a week and I have some flowers already. Not quite starting from square 1, more like square 6. That deep root structure and remaining suckers have saved the day. Love your show and thanks for the tips.

@sharonvaughn8062 Год назад

This video is timely. My tomato plants are at least six feet tall. Three side by side and a jumbled mess! Still waiting for tomatoes on two of them. I will go in, tomorrow, and cut the crossing leaves and see where to go from there.

I cannot thank you enough for all the tips that you have given me through your videos. It has given me the confidence to do my own garden this year! I refer everybody to your RU-vid channel!

Good idea with tying the bamboo to the stake ! Thanks I will do the same

@truthseeker9561 Год назад

We havnt had even a half day of sun in 2 weeks where Im at from the haze in the sky. Can tell everything but cukes, zuccs, and some herbs are lagging. half the size as last year at this time

@neveahc.4787 Год назад

Mine are growing very well and I've kept it pruned as I go. Lots of fruit. I just wish some would start to ripen because I'm getting anxious and really want to eat some😅😊

@roottrackerzbyyaira Год назад

I have 6 varieties growing. I purposely planted blueberry tomatoes and Super Sweet 100s so I could harvest them while the larger tomato Heirloom varieties take their time. One is producing 1-2lb tomatoes each!

@neveahc.4787 Год назад

@@roottrackerzbyyaira that's wonderful! That some big tomatoes 🍅 😄

@normal_norm2627 Год назад

QUESTION - My wife planted 10 plants in a 3ft by 13ft bed... Dang, it's a mess. I'm thinking she should prune the plants on the inside of the bed to open up some sun and air flow?? Good / Bad ?? This is only 2nd year gardening for us.

@ffs6158 Год назад

Mine are very shrubbery like, 7 feet tall but most of the vines are horizontal now, lol. I just keep hacking out leaves to keep airflow and removing anything diseased and the production is crazy. I don't prune them down too much because I need the shade on the fruit and it reduces yield. Plus I don't want to be spending every day pruning, I dont know how people who do single stem have time to do anything else if they grow more than a handful of plants.

@shaneswing2016 Год назад

Did you mention the varieties you are growing in any of your videos?

@destinyandpurpose Год назад

My indeterminate tomatoes were looking pretty wild.. One thing I did last year and am doing again this year is making sure I have no leaves around the bottom 12 to 18 inches of each plant. The splash back from the soil was causing fungal blight on some of the leaves. Some of the other things I do are to go ahead and prune off any lower leaves that look yellow or spotty, prune off any leaves at the main stem that want to grow down, prune the suckers, and I only water and fertilize at the soil level. The humidity here is really bad so I avoid wetting the leaves except for the H2O2, aspirin, and baking soda sprays. I also have them planted in the root pouches, on a custom built platform, and I am using a cattle panel this year to stake them. My determinates need a totally different treatment, lol. I cringed when I saw the chamomile on the ground! I am growing it for the first time this year, purpose of making teas and medicinal treatments. Mine do not look as healthy as that one, lol. Thanks for sharing some really great info! And thank you for letting us see the Farm garden and how it is progressing!

@kikaree Год назад

You sent me some golden brandywine tomato seeds last year, and at my location 9400ft and central Colorado zone 3/4, they are really taking off this year. thanks!

@taylorshomestead3934 Год назад

I prune my leaves constantly each year for proper airflow, plus I pull off most of my suckers once they get taller, therefor keeping mine from getting out of control. Spacing them 3 to 4 feet helps prevent diseases. Leaf footed bugs is what I fight with on them each year.

@baciausenkil6307 Год назад

It looks like you have more tomatoes that you could root and some water and have more tomatoes and until the harvest

Wish I was close by your farm so I could take the chamomile plants off your hands. .

@rosalindhb Год назад

Its been 100-105+ degrees for a few weeks here in 8b. Between the pest/critters and disease, my tomatoes look terrible. Bout ready to pull them. I've taken so many leaves and vines, its naked. I started new cherry tomatoes to replace them.

@inthetwinklingofaneye Год назад

I'm in 8b too, but only in the 90s. have you tried shade cloth?

@titanart6225 Год назад

QUESTION: the H202 spray an aspirin spray has done wonders for my tomatoes, I was dealing with some fungal issues but they look right now. When do you switch to baking soda spray? Do you use that on different plants like swash or do you also use it on your tomatoes? If so, when do you use the Hydrogen-peroxide and what do you use the baking soda? Another question, I have been dealing with a shot hole disease on my peach trees for two seasons now. I have been spraying copper and another product called Plant Guard rotating it according to the recommendations by the manufacturer since early spring. Many leaves are falling off by the day and the fruit is growing and looks good but I’m concerned about getting of the harvest as I continue to lose leaves. I’ve had copper rust and other issues with leaf spots on my apples, blueberries, and other plants like strawberries, the copper seems to have worked on those plants pretty well, but nothing seems to help my peaches, do you thinking the baking soda spray could help?

@titanart6225 Год назад

Squash*** not “swash”

@EDLaw-wo5it Год назад

Mine desperately need deep pruning but I didn’t know how or what to prune. Thank you. Havagudun Gary.

Glad to help My blog The Rusted Garden Journal is now getting some TLC. Ill we posting new garden articles in there several times a week. DIY recipes is the next series. Cheers!

@pinkmonkeybird2644 Год назад

I’m a novice gardener growing everything in containers on my deck because it’s the only viable space for many reasons. I’ve got 7 beautiful tomato plants full of green tomatoes, and I’ve been good about removing the lowest leaves for light and air circulation. But I’m enough of a novice that I am hesitant about pruning them back harshly like this. I know it’s the best for a good harvest, but I can’t help feeling like I’m hurting the plants somehow. I’ll try to be a little more ruthless I guess.

@ffs6158 Год назад

Dont be scared, they can take a very thorough hacking and will come back better. Especially with the lower/older leaves, get rid of them immediately when they start to not look 'fresh'.

@yesterdayseyes Год назад

I don't prune mine and always get massive harvests. I've learned I can garden how I want to with fantastic results, I break so many " garden rules", experiment on your own.

@Dennis_Heaton Год назад

Those are 4x8 beds with 8 plants? It would make sense. I tried too many with square foot gardening. This year I tried 3 rows of 6 in a 4x8 bed, it's still too much if I let a lot of suckers grow for determinate plants. I may try 2 rows of 6 each next year....I really need more garden space!

@christine9467 Год назад

Mine are like 7 ft tall and crazy!! Tomato baskets are the worst. I’m using those stakes next time

@pats9055 Год назад

Great review. I don't feel so bad about what I thought was pruning too much. I live in the same zone as you and I am dreading the disease and bugs that are coming. I best get to work.

@lleestimer2547 Год назад

Thank you, we have had rain for about 2 weeks. The maters have gone wild!! You have given me hope.

@alice_rabbit8345 Год назад

Thanks for the tips! I’ll be trimming mine up!

@brianramsey3824 Год назад

Any ideas on when things out grow a cattle panel...is late topping a tomato a thing?

@kele1264 Год назад

Wow, you made short work of getting those tomato plants under control. The look strong and healthy!
