Only a Southern person would know the pleasure of a tomato sandwich 😊
Not true, I live in Bermuda and grow my own tomatoes just so I can have a tomato sandwich. Been doing this for many years now.
Bruschetta.
Only a southern person would think so
I like a bit (ok a lot) of bacon on mine! 😂
Not true I am from NJ and grew up eating delicious tomato sandwiches
I do believe your raised bed videos are maybe the best I’ve ever seen.
The best blossom end rot fix I've ever seen was told to me by a champion tomato grower: put about a half cup of powdered milk into the hole at planting time. I've used that for years and never had blossom end rot (unless I forgot to do it).
That's great if you have a lack of calcium already, but most of the time there's plenty of calcium in the soil and properly watering will allow the uptake of the nutrients.
Great tip.
However, I have a feeling you're just a great gardener that rarely has garden issues.
@@flobbergassy The only time I had blossom end rot was when I was a bit neglectful in watering during a particular dry spell one year, never had the issue other wise. I add a small amount of pulverized eggshells mixed with vinegar and wood ash every year, so calcium isn't an issue here.
I haven't had any BER in two years. I add powdered lime to the pot. As I plant, I mix a lime paste and dip the roots into the paste. During the growing season I give the tomatoes a lime drink when watering.
@@RadioactuveToy Under-watering can also cause the issue, so makes sense.
My grandmother always used fish fertilizer out on their farm. They moved to the city suburbs when W.W. 2 started and she planted this big rose garden, and yes, she used fish fertilizer! Fish fertilizer made everything she planted grow.
Actually it does
I bury fish in my soil 2 weeks before I plant,have a bumper crop every year!
Good evening from South Africa. Enjoy your videos tremendously
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching 🙏
Duke's Mayonnaise!!!! Amen!!!
Haha yesssss!
Great video. I'm in NC east of Charlotte in the country. Nice to have a local person to give us advice. We are doing raised beds because of my major lower back surgery. Hello from Locust NC
DUKE'S RULES!!! In the 70s , we couldn't get Duke's in east TN...my aunt in Hendersonville used to buy us Dukes and ship it to us lol
Met my wife 35 yrs ago and she said her aunt from Granite Falls did the same for her family.
Everything else pales in comparison.
...was in Shelby 3 wks ago!I'
Son went to church camp in Cherokee. Awesome.
My tomatoes are unhappy this year...1st time in yrs.
Black-edged leaves...
Northern here. Never tasted Dukes, but you Southerners almost fight over mayo brands. Dukes usually wins 😂
@@classicrocklover5615 priorities!!
I grew up thinking I hated mayo until I found Duke's! I make sure to stay well stocked!!!
I really love your videos. They have been so useful. This is my first time doing a raised bed garden and I have learned so much. Thank you.
Thank you for the tips!
You were spot on about the tomato sammich!!
Enjoyed watching and learning
I'm so glad that I stumbled unto your video. Highly informative, entertaining and the best of all, you're right up the road from Charlotte, so the growing conditions and tips pertain directly to me.
I'm a new subscriber and this is the first of your videos I've seen...but it won't be the last. I love the fast pace, informative, easy to follow tips. Thanks! Even though I just turned 63, I'm a relatively new gardener, 2020...you know the story. Keep them coming; I've got so much to learn.
love love your channel and all of your videos!! I have learned so much that I am using in my first garden. thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Linda
This video answered all my questions. I’ve made many of the mistakes you describe. I’m better informed for next year’s season. Thank you for all the valuable information.
It's the first time I have heard that it's best to keep tomato soil consistently damp, my impression has always been to let the soil dry out to a couple of inches down before giving a deep watering.
You can definitely let them dry out some just not too much. A lot of my customers get blossom end rot for this reason.
I've found it's very difficult to over-water tomatoes. Right now in this heatwave I've been watering twice a day (in containers), they wilt if I only do once a day.
Hi Justin! This is my first time watching your show..I love it.. I love the way you explain your techniques..Thank you!
God Bless!🙏❤️🥰
Thank you for a very informative video. 👏
Fantastic garden!
You are very pleasant to watch! To the point n energetic and we all appreciate it! God bless you and your endeavors!
I just started growing my first tomato plants as my neighbor ended up with more than she could handle. I feel like I relate a lot to what you say as I’m in northern South Carolina and we likely have an almost identical climate to deal with. Thank you so much for creating such content!
Thanks for explaining determinate vs indeterminate.
Thank you for all the information. I have a lot to learn and a lot of your videos to catch up too. Thank for sharing.
I just discovered you’re the greenhouse maybe 2 miles from my house! I’m glad to see I’m following a local’s gardening tips! 😊
I really enjoyed watching your video on 7 mistakes growing tomatoes. You are very informative and there was not a lot of unnecessary talking. Thanks 👍👍👍
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for the great info.
Entertaining channel Justin, keep up the good work. I can't wait to start planting thank you.
You're a great inspiration, I can't wait to plant my tomatoes tomorrow! Thanks
2nd year gardening. Learning from mistakes but not giving up. Just take more notes for next year. Great video
Great video Justin! I agree wholeheartedly with your 7 tips. I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada, and the humidity we get in the summer can be overwhelming. I prune my tomatoes to avoid late blight, an ongoing issue.
That Neptunes harvest is the best I use it on my tomatoes and flowers whenever they are set buds, it keeps my plants flowering
Justin,Thank you for best info.
I grow both types. Amish paste for canning and three types of indeterminate for eating.
Thank you ❤️🔥🎉
You are so informative thank you the tips!!!
Wow! Excellent video filled with helpful information! Thank you!
"Beautiful Garden~
Thank you for good sharing.
Like it
My friend, have a good day"
Really enjoying your interesting and informative videos!
Great video. I am always jealous of the area you live in. I live in Zone 9b of California. Think HOT all summer. Had a nursery owner tell me to not expect’lush’/pretty gardens like they do in North Carolina. Just enjoy the harvest. LOVE TOMATO SANDWICHES!!!
I’ve learned so much from your videos. Especially, to stop doing those 7 mistakes. Looking forward to next season!
Thks fo great information learn so much now will improve on tomatoe growing
Thanks for this video. Planting my seedlings today
Good morning from uk, thank you for you video, nice, clear, and to the point, I will try to find that feed.
Nice job explaining things
Thanks! Very informative.
Thank you, brother, thank you.
Wow! This is great! I should have an improved harvest with my tomatoes this season because I see some common mistakes to avoid. Thanks for the tutorials👍🙏
These videos are very inspiring buddy! Thanks’
Thx
Dang Man. Your garden looks amazing.Great Job!!!! I do very much enjoy your videos as much for the informational content as when you release the inner mischievous, funny kid. I laugh at your antics and laughter keeps us all alive. Thanks for sharing. It was extremely helpful.
I love these videos and have used some of the tips in my 30 plus years of gardening.
But I think my best yields have been from just old style planting techniques.
Such as, putting a layer of horse manure over the entire garden every fall, and tilling it in at early spring.
Then just planting the tomatoes in a crater with just the top canopy above ground. As the plant grows, fill the crater with it's own surrounding dirt that was mixed with homemade compost and added bone meal.
Eventually the soil will become level at the stem, and hense a large root system.
My best yields always seemed to be when I only pruned the yellowing branches, and never pruned suckers.
I totally get the sucker pruning advice, but for me, my best yields are when I don't prune.
I live in Western Missouri in the middle of the state where it gets really hot.
I am new to your channel. I am learning so much. I have a notebook/ diary to document soil mixtures, growing schedule, shade/sun, etc. I definitely need the coaching. Thanks Justin.
Plant and water wow really
Thank you for the real help !
EXCELLENT video! Thank you so much for GREAT INSPIRATION!
That means so much! Thank you for your feedback and for watching our videos 🙏
I would recommend Bodacious. I've been growing them in NE Ohio for 3 years. I stack up 2 4 foot fencing cages and the grow well above it. They produce 1lb-1.5lb. red juice tomatoes. I bury a 5gal. bucket 50% in the ground with 4 holes drilled 1 inch from bottom around the bucket. I plant 1 plant at each hole. Works great for watering through the bucket in the hot summer months. Seed comes from Burpee and I've seen it for sale at home depot and menards. Bodacious has become my favorite tomato plant out of 40 years of growing. Planting sunflowers near them helps big time.
I enjoyed your video. You’re exactly what I’ve been looking for. I am a new gardener moved from Chicago up to the country and I have a lack of experience so thank you.
I love your video and your honesty! The best sentence ever is "How to outdo your neighbors!" If someone here says they do not care, they are lying.
As to my mistakes, I am guilty of rot on my better boy as I was away for a week and we had a dry spell, but my cherry tomatoes did just fine with it.
Thank you for watching! 🙏 I'm having a blast making these videos!

How about Tommy Toes? What are these?
Love these videos!!! Learning so much!!
Great video, thanks!
Hello from Lincoln county! Thank you so much for teaching me and my other homies how to grow good local veggies! You’ve taught us a lot thank you!!!
This is a very good video. Thanks. Very informative. I never know what kind of tomato I'm growing, because I save seeds from favorite tomatoes I buy from roadside farmer's stands and then grow them in the dining room in late winter...Problem is that they end up growing rather long and spindly, so I have to bury a lot of the stem when I put them in the ground. I DO like the way you have the tomato plants all tied up along the poles and will have to try that.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing
Great video! Great tips and I’ve learned a lot!
Best vedio on tomatoes I've seen .thanks
Thank you!
Great advice! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing ! 🌹
Best concise gardening video I've seen...keep up the good work u gotta a new subscriber 😊
great advice, thanks
I've experimented (and wrecked) pruning on the top 15ish cultivars and man you nailed it. I have a guest with an RV, would a little shade really be ok? There's a video of a kid cutting his indeterminates into nothing but a straight stick, and I was overzealous too but he's pruning "because the extra growth isn't leaving enough energy for his fruits". I learned this too but this is the best advice as it's not the daily art we want it to be when we learn something new.
good video. ive been planting tomatoes for decades and o learned some new tricks. thanks.
Wonderful tips……I’ll be planting soon……ty 🥰
Thanks for really useful tips. 💚💚💚👌✌✌

Thank you so much! I'm in neighboring Gaston County and appreciate this information!
Have had a big juicy tomato sandwich almost everyday for the last week! Nothing like summer tomatoes!
I love your video. Watching from Nigeria.
Hi Justin thank you so much for all the great tips and your great energy!! I m was wondering if you have plans to make a video for how to grow potatoes in pots. Thank you again
Tip I’ve been using for years to get bigger better harvests is using malted barley around base and quality worm castings ontop of that I get bigger fruit sets and it cuts my harvest time down by 15% average
I used cattle fence a created an espalier garden in 2021.. it not only has fruit trees but all my veggies this year..
Love this info
Thank you❤
What kind of soil do you use for tomatoes? Do you use urea fertilizer as well for your tomatoes?
My first year trying a container tomatoes, no luck so far, each one had blossom end rot. Still trying here in NC too.
Don't give up! You will get the hang of it!
What do you think went wrong?
Great vid.... Cheers.
