2024 Garden Fail in the Hoophouse
Welcome back to A&G Farm! In today’s video, we’re sharing our struggles with growing tomatoes this year. Unfortunately, we didn’t have much success and had to get rid of most of the plants. However, we managed to keep a few alive and are considering giving it another shot before the summer ends.
Join us as we discuss the challenges we faced in our tomato garden inside the hoophouse and what we’ve learned from this experience. It’s all part of the homesteading journey, with its ups and downs.
As part of our 30-day homesteading challenge, we’re uploading a video every single day this month. Stay tuned for more daily updates and adventures from the homestead!

    Adding shade might help, but if it is not good enough then there is another option that I came across, but it would require you to start over. Having pests is normally not good to have in a greenhouse, and garden. There are bugs that are fine to have, but many are not fine to have on plants, or anything else that grows. Your plants should have been treated, but instead are being eaten. There are ways to deal with this problem before it happens. I suggest not using dish soap. You could try mixing water with Cayenne pepper. There are other options to use as a pesticide if mixing water with Cayenne pepper does not work. I found the below information on the internet. "Almost all caterpillars feed on plants and most plant-feeding caterpillars feed on leaves, which are the most abundant and accessible part of the plant."

    Yikes. You've got hornworms, because you've got a ridiculous number of unkempt tomato plants in one area. Keep your plants pruned, spread them out, and put in some companion plants, and hornworms won't be nearly as big an issue. On another note, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that plant! Why would you remove a perfectly healthy and resilient plant just because you found a couple hornworms on it? Especially when you can just prune the branches they gnawed off without hurting the rest of it.

    Pests only attack plants they deem as edible, which are plants with lower Brix. Brix is the sugar content that plants make and the healthier the plant the more sugars are produced. Also silicate and chitosan will make plants a lot less desirable and harder to eat. Cleaning up the lower section of unhealthy leaves will also reduce the amount of pests that can populate.

    Keep going, friend! I quit my 8-5 office job last August to pursue my own things, and dig myself out of the bad mental state that job gave me. It's amazing I don't remember feeling that hopelessness and despair at all in the months I was unemployed but I felt it every single day while employed. I got my house organized more, started an amazing garden, really just enjoyed living. I wasn't able to get anything going this time around and ran out of savings so just started another 8-5 office job this week. I already know this is not the path for me. The motivation is strong to get my own stuff going again but I just keep getting stuck. I'm chasing the money and ideas that I think will be money instead of things that I naturally enjoy doing. So I'm trying to figure it out. Main thing is no one can do it but you. Put a little something towards your goal every day. Remind yourself what the goal is every morning. I'm also a firm believer that it shouldn't be so hard though. If you're on the right path you want to be doing the things you need to be doing.
