So glad I found this video! It’s only my 3rd year gardening and I was thinking I was doing something wrong! I’ve only had 2 ripe so far 😂

I am sorry if I missed this, but does this apply to determinate as well? I thought I heard you say only indeterminate but not sure. So helpful, as always!

This is soooo helpful! Thank you! I’m in wa state near Olympia and my tomatoes took a major beating in the thunderstorms about 3 weeks ago! I’m going to prune them to see if I can salvage any before the season is over.

Hey, I'm in Bellingham after 40 years in Marysville area. Quite different here compared to gardening in the Snohomish River Delta area as far tomatoes go here in Bellingham. I have tons of Juliet ripening and kinda sick of them at this point. 🤭. I have some Cherokee purple ripening but no way I'll get all to ripen before splitting once rains start. I'll try top pruning. My one determinate has a few ripe ones. I find a cheap rice or sod knife dedicated to pruning lower branches on the heavy ones work better that pruners. Dollar store water bottle and some rubbing alcohol to spray knife hanging off my overalls if I'm having some early blight. My Juliet are like yours but ripening a lot. My garden is in 20 gal barrel liners cause I have glacial cement and whole property is just full of huge tree roots with 30ft+ evergreen hedges N and S and oak and pine E and W. Only have one area where a huge cedar came down that gets proper sun for some hours. We had such a brutal arctic blast that bout only thing that has produced is tomatoes and straw better. No squash but 2 zucchini. Cukes...look done after 2 weeks. 😢 Everything about 6 weeks behind. Nothing day sensitive has done well but I'm replanting now. Happy gardening.

Thanks for the video and giving me permission to trim. 😬

Hey Christi! Your Lynnwood garden peep here. 🌱 Well, I know what I'm going to be doing this weekend! I've been trying out the yellow varieties this year, with the exception of the Chocolate Cherry tomato you told me about - and you were right! They are delicious! Yeah, I might have to invest in a little greenhouse if I want those beefsteak varieties. Dismal results this year. Thanks, Juneuary! What we need is another month of really warm weather, but in the absence of that ~ snip snip. I think I saw it on MIgardener channel, Luke was talking about putting the just blushing tomatoes in a paper bag with a banana to ripen them. Great demo video - thanks!

Please keep it brief….

I feel so much better and in good company with your stories lol thank you!

This was SO helpful! Thank you for the in depth video.

I have a tomato forest like yours, unfortunately I don't have raised beds and have to try to wiggle my way through the forest , but I greatly appreciate this video because all my tomatoes are green and now I will go prune it all back and let those plants know it's time to hurry up! Lol I'm on the north Oregon coast.

Hi Christi. I’m just down the street…about 30 miles south…and growing mostly indeterminate cherry tomatoes. Sungold, Matt’s Wild Cherry (they’re teenie-tiny) and Yellow Pear. All about 8’ tall now and producing. I’m a newbie with these. Is it time to top cherry tomatoes in our area or do we have a little more time for these smaller tomatoes to ripen. I’m getting anxiety just thinking about it!😂

I’m about 30miles south and not a single red tomato 🍅!

super helpful-Thank you!!

Looks great! Im starting one this fall. Im doing my own compost wont need nearly the amount you have purchased.

Nice to learn from someone who understands our strange and gorgeous climate.

I finally understand!

What do you think of this odd cool August weather here in the PNW? June was so much hotter than usual. I've never seen an August in Oregon with a good 3 weeks in the 70's.

When it rains around harvest time (every year, where I live!), I harvest the pods and immediatly put them in the dehydrator. Harvesting when wet is the worst, they get moldy so fast :( so now they go from outside -> directly in dehydrator. They are dry to open the pods in a few hours only, then once my beans are separated I put those back in the dehydrator. You’re right, harvesting at the right time is the hardest part - in doubt harvest sooner else they rot right there in the field!

My cilantro has gone to seed. Should I harvest and save the seeds or till them into the soil?

Im near Olympia and they've completely engulfed the surrounding properties and its not possible for me to keep up with it.

Thank you for the video. Watching and reading the comments is making me feel better about my slow to ripen fruit, now I know I'm not the only one! Will have to try Juliet's next year.

I don't plant tomatoes anymore because I get so many volunteers each year. I just started getting ripe fruit. I have lots of green fruit and flowers. I'm in Clark Co, WA.

Tastes yummy but it didnt set up

thank you! I love being able to track back in time and feel more prepared since you have so many videos! Just when I thought this one didn't have turkeys you said "HI TURKEYS!" lol. This channel is amazing thank you for sharing your wisdom!

Yak yak yak

I really appreciate your videos from my neck of the woods! I'm trying a new cherry tomato called midnight snack- it is a beautiful dark color. It's indeterminate and has set tons of fruit for the last few weeks, but refuses to ripen. My romas and early girls are slowly putting on fruit.

Great video. This is what I'll be doing this weekend!

In Langley on Whidbey, like you we have lots of green tomatoes but later to ripen this year. Sun gold and SunSugar are ripening but are mostly garden snacks. Planted Big Beef this year and they are really big but far from ripening . I tried Jaune Flambé this year too, it’s a smaller one but plants are really producing . Thanks for your all your videos!

Horrible problems with diseases on the whole garden bc of the one rain last week here in SW WA. The rain is so welcome -until two days later when the rust comes . It s as if our plants don ‘t know how to handle any summer rain.

Muy buenos dias 😂🎉

Thanks for the video. I live in kitsap co and my tomatoes are coming along ok. I've been in this position before where they were late to really start growning good and then winter came quick and we had to ripen all the green tomatoes by putting them in brown paper bags to ripen (works well). I am afraid that will be the case this year as well. So last night i went through and gave everything a hair cut hoping that the fruit thats there will ripen on the vine faster. My plants were like yours, really tall. So i figures if i trimmed them down maybe that would give the fruit thats there a chance.

I thought my tomatoes were slooooooow, but mine are ahead of yours. Nothing would grow in So King Co until July, and then it got so hot. The peas were doing fine until the heat wave started. Almost all of my lettuce bolted. No bulbs on the kohlrabi. No heads on the broccoli. I had to plant the beans three times, because of the cold ground. I have planted a lot of seeds this first week of August. I hope they mature before the monsoons begin.

Half the romas in my hoophouse haven't grown at all since transplant. I finally figures out that the "clover" growing around those plants is not clover... its called oxalis and it secretes chemicals in the soil to prevent other plants from growing. I was chopping and dropping the "clover", probably poisoning my plants even more! It also prevented all of my peppers from growing too. I'm in western WA

Would love to see a canning tomato sauce video from you too ❤ thanks again for sharing this update on your garden.

Refreshing to see my tomatoes are the same size. I’m growing them outside too in zone 8b. They will surprise you the end of September on how much you’ll be bringing in basket loads of blushed ones to finish ripening! I ran out of room on my kitchen floor and countertops the last few years with how many I was able to harvest. Wish I could share a picture on here! We use cattle panels to keep them upright because we are on a coastal windy location. I’m still eagerly waiting for a ripe beefsteak, but I’m just being impatient ha! Your plants are looking fantastic!! Don’t forget to tip the tops on the plants in the next couple weeks to concentrate the energy onto the fruit before October ❤ with bit more attention tomatoes will grow beautifully on the coast zone 8b OUTSIDE. But it’s taken me 9 years to perfect. Love seeing your process throughout the season. And something I can compare my garden too. Thanks so much!

do you think we have enough time to grow and ripen the tomatoes? Late start this yr for me too due to the weather, I have lots of flowers too but I'm not sure if we have enough time this yr?

I am fairly new at growing tomatos.I live on the Olympic peninsula.Having spent most of my 70 years in SE Alaska I didn't really garden.Are my green tomatoes normal for this time of year.I am at a loss.

Where do you get your Juliet tomato seeds

Please make a video when you use your tomatoes. Thank you

stanwood is a great place to hunt ducks

Yay! Thank you for sharing this!!❤

This is so helpful.Going to start tomorrow.We rent and on the property are those lovely yellow plums.SO MANY.WOOHOO.You are my hero of the week

Yiur hair looks different today. Dorry to hear about your mom. My mom pssed away at dinner. I love rosemarty thanks for tour videos.

I like your videos and your energy. Very positive and uplifting, im gonna go garden?

What part of Oregon do you plant in?

You nailed the heat wave time line I was like wow

Yup, they will last a year plus if you avoid opening it too much and don't get a weird mold issue. It just gets better and better with age although it will soften up, at least in my experience.

Great stuff, thank you. That was fun. I'll be doing it soon. ❤

Aya son muy grandes los repollos

I have tried before making sauerkraut. I failed 2 or 3 times. I will try your method before throwing in the towel. Love your videos. Say hi to the turkeys.
