I like the way you post these videos so we can see from start to fruition. I can only imagine how much time it must take to film these gardening videos AND your foodie videos. You’re amazing! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I don't have a green thumb, but you have inspired me to try to grow something. I'll wait for this current heatwave to pass. Have a nice Labor Day weekend. 🍅
Nice to see the progression of your tomatoes. We are growing an eggplant that we got from Home Depot using the Kratky method and have gotten some really nice ones that taste really good. We got some other veggies growing so we can't wait til we can harvest those too.
So awesome to hear! I love eggplant and having them around often in the garden is helpful to keep costs down in groceries. I'm so glad your garden is doing well!
That’s an impressive plant for just 3 weeks. My tomatoes never look that good. What am I doing wrong. I get tomatoes to flower and fruit but it’s like these plants are so delicate I have to be on top of it daily. They always have thin stems, one or two fruit sets per flower grouping. I use the same bone meal and fox farm amendments on potting soil, and generally grow from seed. Am slowly getting a feel for patterns that are not good and changing my practice. I saw how much bone meal blood meal worm castings in a 4-gal pot? That you amended and wow I thought too much but obviously I was wrong. I’m going to up my amendments to my 7-gal grow bags and see if that works. I also use cheap calcium magnesium pills from a pharmacy, grind them up to a fine powder and do a teaspoon per pot, it doesn’t kill the plant t but it was an experiment figured the mychorrhizae will turn the elements into what the roots can absorb. Never used the salt, but will also give it a try. BTW, I am practicing a cross between the “back to Eden” and permaculture concepts in a small quarter acre yard. The hardest part literally is because I live on Guam, the soil is mainly 8-12 inches on top of coral. So forced to use raised beds for most garden veggies. The local varieties of eggplant, pineapple, pole beans, wing beans, papaya, avocado, and a whole assortment of the more exotic fruit grow well, but veggies like tomato, romaine, carrots, kale, broccolini, pepper, zucchini, cucumber, sweet onions, etc really do better in raised beds, grow bags. However I’m experimenting with hanging pots for tomatoes which remains to be seen how well it works here.
Hi I'm enjoying this video of Purple tomato dwarf got a question for you I heard that in your dwarf plants you don't have to prune your suckers is that true thanks for your video very encouraging to see your plants
Hi! I still prune them. Maybe it's a habit but I don't think it does any harm. If you don't have time to prune them and other people do not prune with no negative results then I would say go for it!
How is this plant doing 4 months later? You inspired me to grow some dwarf tomatoes Kratky style. I got some from the dwarf tomato project (victory seeds hosts it)
I've used your prior videos on 5 gallon wicking buckets and your test of several tomato fertilizers. Instead of what you used, I pored in Tomato Tone and fish emulsion down the bucket pipe. NEVER AGAIN. That manure smell was long-lasting. I am going to start my Komohana tomatoes soon. I'm going to avoid the self watering bucket and stink fertilizers. Does blood meal and bone meal stink? Besides Epsom salt, blood and bone meal, what other fertilizers would I need? Mahalo.
Blood meal and bone meal don't stink. I wouldn't put any fish emulsion or any stink fertilizer in the pipe of the self watering bucket. Maybe Miracle Grow or some kind of non smelling pellet type fertilizer. I just sprinkle it on the top of the bucket and water from the top but very rarely for nutrients. Good luck with your tomatoes.

Mahalo! Yes the gardening videos take a lot of time, but the foodie ones not so much. I really appreciate you watching both!
You have a very calming voice, New Sub, love your plants.

Awesome to hear, Alan! Have a great Labor Day weekend as well. 🤙
Trying to catch up on videos I didn't watch yet (yours!), you do such a great job with growing veggies!
Thank you!

New to your channel. Interested to see your trellis.
How is this plant doing 4 months later? You inspired me to grow some dwarf tomatoes Kratky style. I got some from the dwarf tomato project (victory seeds hosts it)
The two plants are still going. I'm about to replace them with winter turnips in those pots though but they're still kicking!
Yes I ordered a whole bunch of dwarfs from Victory Seeds. Great company.
Love the video. What size would you say your pot is
The pot I used for the first one is about a 3 gallon. The second dwarf is in a 5 gallon fabric pot.
@@HawaiiUrbanGardener so I can use a 3 gallon or do you suggest 5 gallon for dwarf tomatoes. Thank you so much for your help
@@christinebarnaby7303 you can use either one. Both are doing well in both sizes.
