So the missing step was something called hardening off. By taking the young plants from a cosy indoors to a life outside you shocked them and they had no time to adjust. Next time bring the whole tray outside on warmer days then back in at night, do this for a few weeks to acclimatise them. And for extra points try gently running your hands across them as young plants indoors - plants think it’s the wind and sends signals to thicken the stems 💪🏻
@@itsConnorCreates You could also get an oscillating fan so you won't run the risk of damaging the plants with your hands. A normal fan would do too, just don't blast the plants with it👌
My grandpa used to feed his cows in his farm with leftover food he bought from a local market, once after they ate alot of ripe tomatoes they all defecated on a hill, and a couple weeks later the whole hill was filled with tomato plants producing, it was great
@@John_Locke_108i promise every single tomato you buy at the store has had a boost from some kind of manure, whether it's from cows or even just worms in the soil. the beauty of nature is that during life, we eat shit, and when we die, we become shit.
I came to the comment section to see if I could learn what part of the world you live bc I also thought you live in a beautiful place (AND where you went on that amazing vacation!)
I remember, about 12 years ago, my mother decided to plant tomatoes, corn, pumpkins and radishes in our garden. They came out great and we had lots of vegetables for two summers, but the third one she decided not to plant anything because it was lots of work. Apparently the tomatoes had another idea in mind, because every year we get a lot of tomato plants from the seeds of the rotten tomatoes of the previous year, and even though we don't take care of them any longer, we get to eat tomatoes that grow on their own.
We get heaps of those small cherry tomatoes growing every year, for at least the last 5-10 years because someone thought it would be funny to squeeze a few of them around the backyard. I'll admit when they come out again I make sure I squeeze a few in areas they didn't grow, taste pretty good also.
hi i am from serbia i live on village and have 30 plus years of gardening experience, gardening is not difficult its more like a living nightmare, its very hard and requires tons of skills and knowledge, thats the reason its hard you did many things wrong, going from mistake to another mistake and the funny thing is i cant give you 5-6 tips to improve your tomato gardening, its more like 50-60 tips everyone needs to know but i will be glad to help, sorry for a little bit rusty english and heres few tips for you and everyone else these are tips from a pro, tho more experienced people may knew better tip 1. first of seeds must be planted outside ! if you plant in some room near window from a very first day plant will chase the sun and during that chase plant go long and weak, and instead of trying yo save the plant you should try to save yourself and throw those plants, they are no good also if you plant seeds outside but in a big shade, they will also start chasing the sun and go long and go bad so plant the seeds under the direct sun, and plant them early in the spring so the sun is not too strong tip 2. you are doing the watering exactly like my mom is doing it, you are plowing the earth with watering this is what i do, you grab thin and long nail, and some plastic 2 litre bottle with wide plastic cover and you make about 20 little holes on that cover and then water using that bottle, water streams will be gentle so in wont change the shape of the earth nor damage plant, easy as that also when plant is very young use lukewarm water tip3. do not plant seeds like that, you should separate every seed, put a little bit of toalet paper on the bottom of some box and keep it always moist but not too much and then put tomato seeds all over the place, and keep them moist every day two times by applying water using that plastic bottle which can spray water out of it, then when you see germ going of the plant wait until its about 3mm and then put two seeds in some flower pot with a about 5cm spacing between, later you can keep them both or destroy the lower quality one those pots must be always moist, it must never be dry, also pots should be medium size, its not good to seed into smaller pots tip 4. plant must be fat and small when its about to be planted in its final destination, if its too much long its harder for the plant to make adaptation, so about 30 cm long, also when you planting tomato a big part of that tomato should be covered with earth which will allow better root system, and also about 10-15cm at least of the plant should be planted horizontally for the better roots tip 5. during the night plants should be covered completely but during the day the place they are in should be open from the sides so they dont go cooked, when plant is about 10 cm and strong then the so called process of the adaptation should begin, that means to adapt you weak and gentle plant to the outside weather, so that means every night little by little you live the cover more open and after about and leave another 10 days cover completely open during the night and day and then your plant is strong and ready enough to live outside on the harsh weather, they should have hard green colour instead weak green like your plants did tip 6. always plant them when its cloudy outside, so they can root more stress free AKA sun free so early in the morning if its not sunny, or when sun goes down and ground is not so hot anymore keep your plants protected from the blight from the early days using what is available in your country, thing called ridomil gold is good and so on and on, there are a lot more tips, but i dont have time to write a book right now
@@aalytoks9755 Or if you live in a cold northern climate start the seeds in a heated greenhouse or indoors under grow lights to give plants the best start possible.
As someone who has been gardening for 3 years. I hate gardening so much I enjoy it sometimes. You will never not learn something new about gardening, thanks for the tips
Hi, I'm a line cook at a restaurant and I replant food waste all of the time. I currently have tomato plants from seeds I got while chopping tomatoes, red and white onions, red peppers, green peppers, and lettuce. I've also been successful with green onions and leeks. It can be done; just takes a few tries to find the right methods. My managers know I take the food waste, as well, so it's not stealing 😁😇
Kinda messed up that taking food waste would be considered stealing when no one else was gonna use it, I used to work places where they’d rather throw unclaimed food away than give it to their own workers.
One winter day i was eating bell peppers. There is a white untasty part with seeds in bell peppers, you know, so i threw this stuff away. But because of my laziness, i put it in my mom's flowerpot instead of bin (it was too far). A week after, my mom unexpectedly found a young bell pepper plant in her flowerpot. It successfully survived winter indoors, and then it grew up into proper plant and gave us some harvest.
The problem is likely you didn’t get them used to outside conditions. Did you set them out gradually increase the hours outside then bring back in daily for a week before you planted outside? If not than that’s why they died sadly. They need to get used to the harsh outside conditions slowly, because they are used to an easy inside life. They need help adjusting to the outside otherwise they die. Don’t be to discouraged, you did great! Please try again! If you wanted you could grow it inside right now under strong grow lights
@@itsConnorCreates also those subway tomatoes come from big farms. same ones that go to grocery stores. most of the times they are hybrids that are treated and are not viable. they grow weak and even if they do eventually produce fruit which they very well may not. it will most likely look and taste different from the fruit you grew it from
When I worked at a restaurant I would take home the seed cores from red, yellow, and green bell peppers and grow them in my yard. I found it fascinating that green bell peppers turn dark red when you let them ripen on the plant. Green onion bottoms, celery bottoms, tomato seeds, bell pepper seeds. All free garden fillers just from doing food prep at my job. I don't work there anymore but I still have the same green onions and bell peppers in my garden.
Bell peppers are bell peppers. The fascinating thing is that it's the only produce (that I know of) that is sold in varying stages of ripeness as separate products.
@@dinkledankle Yes, and to that point, my green bell peppers only turned dark red. I had to mess around with yellow pepper seeds to see them turn orange. Then eating them all I realized they all have varying levels of sweetness that can be very pleasant. I hated bell peppers growing up because I mostly had to eat the green variety. As an adult, and restaurant cook, I've come to appreciate the flavor of bell peppers because the different colors actually represent the different levels of ripeness, sweetness, and bitterness.
@@dinkledankle Jalepenos are green because they are usually eaten unripe. They also ripen to red and have a distinct sweetness afterward. When I grow them I let them turn red before I pick. Most people don't realize that chipolte is seasoned ripe red japlenoes smoked over hard wood.
@@mr-meek "Most people don't realize that chipolte is seasoned ripe red japlenoes smoked over hard wood." I was one of those people until reading that, lol
One thing to note, most seeds from fast food or big grocery stores are either hybrids or dont grow true to type. A hybrid is like a mule, extremely useful or tasty with food, but you can't make more (technically you can but its very rare). The other thing is not growing true to type. Plants have a variety of growing conditions and grafting is a good example that can change the flavors but also the soil conditions. Videlia onions are super sweet, not cause the onions are sweet, but because the soil in Videlia has little to no sulpher for the onions to get their pungency.
I once had a volunteer cherry tomato plant. It obviously came from a hybrid, because the tomatoes were about the size of peas, and split when they ripened. They did taste good.
you also need to give them more space in between the plants. also, use cut halfed gallon sized milk containers to cover the young plants using the spout opening for the opening on top. the plant will grow through it. . it will protect them from critters, wind and give them a chance to grow further. also, they was very dried out. - old farmer
@@itsConnorCreatesalso you should give them more time too acclimate to the temperature outside. Tomato’s are very TEMPERTURE sensitive. Wait till they were a bit stronger as there stems were very thin and critters can chomp those tomatoes down in an instant
Another huge step you skipped was to transfer some of the potting soil into the garden around the roots. It helps prevent transfer shock which can kill tomatoes plants that are yet resilient enough.
I still can't believe that the devs haven't patched the infinite food glitch yet, the farmer class keeps abusing it for insane exp and money gain, especially late game.
The entire foundation of society and the economy was created through this glitch. If they patched it now the whole game would change. It would be fun to play something like the 1.0 version again, now that so many science and technology skill trees have opened up. But a lot of players would be very upset if their money exploits were altered.
Would it not be a great idea to have a survival game were you are left with a subway sandwich and you need to survive through planting the sandwich ingridients? 😂
0:10 Those quote unquote tomatoes in fast food in America are a travesty and an offense to anything that is considered a fruit. It is void of flavor, texture and color and nutrient.
Word of advice I used to garden tomatoes with my father🍅never use miracle grew on seeds miracle grew is for plants that are slightly more🌱mature & that’s what gave the leggings to your tomatoes🍅
Perhaps the tomato plants were moved from their place twice and that is why they got destroyed , No problem, getting so much success in the first attempt is a good thing 😌
7:39 that is a symptom of sunburnt. I'm a pepper farmer (technically not a farmer, just have a lot of pepper plants lol) and hardening off before planting in full exposure to sun is necessary for pepper plants just as much as tomatoes. I battle with the same problem. However, the plants looked really good and would have definitely provided a good harvest should they have survived. I have become a new subscriber, good video!
7:14 I knew it 😢 but at least you tried that’s all that matters… Well it’s good that person commented I feel bad for just saying “THAT PERSON” more like the future plant hero!!! Me and probably all the 40 000+ viewers are glad you had fun 😊!!!
A few ideas of things to grow for more fast food themed videos. Dehydrated strawberries from Dunkin' Camomile tea from Starbucks Poppyseed dressing Chick-fil-A Apple from Panera Blueberry parfait from McDonald's Lemon from firehouse sweet tea Oregano/Basil from Domino's seasoning packet Peanuts from Dairy Queen's peanut parfait Good luck 🤞
Tomatoes can be transplanted deeply because there stems produce new roots. If you have leggy plants or plants at all. Planting deep and removing the leaves buried before transplanting will help out. Harden off your seedlings and give them space (not to mention starting at the right time of year) a couple weeks before frost in most states. And you will be good
Commercially grown tomatoes are usually hybrids, that means if you plant them the plants won't have the same properties as the parent plants. If you buy seeds and it says F1 on the package it's the same. You need to either buy seeds every year or look for old kinds of tomatoes often sold by organic seed sellers
@@itsConnorCreates And commercial varieties are selected for storability. travel and appearance. Flavour is a mere afterthought. That is the reason they taste like shit.
Came here to tell the same. Descendants of hybrids are unpredictable and usually of poor quality. If you want to grow your own seeds, there are tons of non-hybrid varieties available. And I don't know, how about US, but in Europe they are available from usual sellers, not only organic. Most, if not all, more exotic looking varieties are non-hybrids as hybrid seed growing wouldn't be commercially viable. This is about tomatoes. You can't get fertilized seed from cucumbers. So, if you grow, you have to buy seeds. And with cucumbers traditional varieties are not an option to get high quality crop. It is possible, but requires enormous effort, knowledge and luck.
The seeds from an F1 tomato will still produce tomato's. They just won't be like the F1 you bought. They will look different and possible taste different but there is nothing wrong with them. Most big store tomato's are tasteless to begin with. They are grown more for looks then taste. If you want real taste you need o by specific varieties. And yeah you need to harden off before you plant, and try a 5 dollar grow light instead of the window.
@@trex2621 Not sure what you are saying. I am in the US and grow cucumbers every year and make my own pickles. YOu can get just about any variety of seed that you want, organic or non organic, hybrids and heirloom. Cucumbers also need bees.
Putting a bit of cinnamon when you transplant them will also help them develop way bigger roots and prevent any mold formation making them more healthy and produce more tomatoes. Also once they reach 1-2ft you can bend the stem to get more surface of the stem touching the soil to grow even more root and grow sweeter and bigger tomatoes. Your video idea is amazing btw.
2:27 actually, its easier to drill the drainage when you have the biomass on top preventing that flimsy plastic from warping or cracking. obviously drilling upside down isnt ideal or comfortable. but it definately saved potential heartache on that task
It's criminal we don't teach future generations how to produce their own food. It should be mandatory, but self sufficiency is a government's kryptonite.
There is no such thing as self sufficiency. You are allowed to do what society enables you to do, regardless of whether you realize it or not. The vast majority of people don't even own land on which they can grow their own food, it's time for you to drop the libertarian ideology and get a dose of reality.
Okay, everyone is talking about your plants growing and everything, but the FIRST thing I thought of was the fact that those tomatoes from Subway were likely hybrids and who knows, even if you get big beautiful plants, whether or not they will produce tomatoes and, if they do, they won't be the type of tomato that was in your sandwich, which you don't even know what type that was! How can you sell tomatoes well, if you can't even name them? IF you get many - or any.
Ive done this experiment growing seeds from supermarket tomatos vs my mothers countryside tomatos. The supermarket grew very fast and did give tomatos, not the good ones. I think those super thick sticks might killed some crucial amount of roots. People usually put way thinner sticks for tomatos or wait till they actually need support.
I was excited at the end when you mentioned it may work with cucumbers, I always get extra of them when I'm at Subway. I'm down to see if something like that'd work. Awesome video, it was fun to watch, thanks Connor!
I appreciate you watching all the way until the very end to see that lil surprise! 🙌🏻😄 and ya would be so fun (and ambitious) to try and level it up next year by doing tomatoes and cucumbers haha!
@itsConnorCreates It is kinda sad that pickles and jalapeños probably wouldn't work since they've been pickled, but heck, I'd like to see you try anything with seeds from Subway. All your videos come from a place of total creativity, and I have enjoyed every one I've watched
I wouldn't have very much confidence in cucumbers because when they are edible and we pick them, they are unripe, and the seeds have not fully formed yet. Eating a cucumber with viable seeds is quite unpleasant, and I doubt subway uses them on their sandwiches. Worth a try though!
@@papes9120yeah, this. I've seen seed cucumbers, and they are yellow-orange monsters. When you compare seeds from that and slices of store-bought cucumbers it's light and day. No way anyone could manage to grow a viable plant from a green cucumber.
If the stems are broken, but there are still little hairs above the broken stems, you can cut a little above the broken stem and replant it. You might want to put the cuttings into water first until you see some root growth
I heard classical music helps plants grow faster. Also maybe keeping them in a greenhouse with adequate UV ray lighting and a automatic sprinkler system. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are needed in larger amounts than other nutrients; they are considered primary macronutrients. Secondary macronutrients include sulfur, calcium, and magnesium. Micronutrients such as iron and copper are necessary in much smaller amounts.
Lesson learnt. You emphasized it twice... That legendary master gardener teacher you mentioned, we will learn from his knowledge and experience. Thanks sir
I have harvested about 30 tomatoes this year off a tomato I collected seeds from last year! So fun! Welcome to the world of growing from seed! It’s super addicting 😅
It's the tomatoes. Look how we are paying for water and drinking out of plastic. I don't think Subway is giving anything away for free. It's the tomatoes, they are too GMO'd to grow. You did most excellent work. I'd get some heirloom seeds and get growing. Happy Gardening.
I've gotten free water from subways in all 3 states I have lived in as an adult 🤷🏻♀️. I never ask for a bottle though, I ask for their water cups for the water part of the soda machine.
Nope not at all! It’s simply because he didn’t get them used to living outside. He did great raising them, but they need to acclimate to the outdoors. Your statement couldn’t be farther from the truth. There aren’t even GMO red tomatoes currently sold in the US to begin with! There’s only a purple cherry tomato.
So the missing step was something called hardening off. By taking the young plants from a cosy indoors to a life outside you shocked them and they had no time to adjust.

That’s crazy! Plants are like lil babies for real!
My grandma would set a fan next to her tomato starts to help them grow stronger
I like to bring my plants out slowly to harden them- a few hours the first day, a few more the next, etc. You've got this! @@itsConnorCreates

hi i am from serbia i live on village and have 30 plus years of gardening experience, gardening is not difficult its more like a living nightmare, its very hard and requires tons of skills and knowledge, thats the reason its hard
you did many things wrong, going from mistake to another mistake
and the funny thing is i cant give you 5-6 tips to improve your tomato gardening, its more like 50-60 tips everyone needs to know
but i will be glad to help, sorry for a little bit rusty english and heres few tips for you and everyone else
these are tips from a pro, tho more experienced people may knew better
tip 1. first of seeds must be planted outside ! if you plant in some room near window from a very first day plant will chase the sun and during that chase plant go long and weak, and instead of trying yo save the plant you should try to save yourself and throw those plants, they are no good
also if you plant seeds outside but in a big shade, they will also start chasing the sun and go long and go bad
so plant the seeds under the direct sun, and plant them early in the spring so the sun is not too strong
tip 2. you are doing the watering exactly like my mom is doing it, you are plowing the earth with watering
this is what i do, you grab thin and long nail, and some plastic 2 litre bottle with wide plastic cover and you make about 20 little holes on that cover and then water using that bottle, water streams will be gentle so in wont change the shape of the earth nor damage plant, easy as that
also when plant is very young use lukewarm water
tip3. do not plant seeds like that, you should separate every seed, put a little bit of toalet paper on the bottom of some box and keep it always moist but not too much and then put tomato seeds all over the place, and keep them moist every day two times by applying water using that plastic bottle which can spray water out of it, then when you see germ going of the plant wait until its about 3mm and then put two seeds in some flower pot with a about 5cm spacing between, later you can keep them both or destroy the lower quality one
those pots must be always moist, it must never be dry, also pots should be medium size, its not good to seed into smaller pots
tip 4. plant must be fat and small when its about to be planted in its final destination, if its too much long its harder for the plant to make adaptation, so about 30 cm long, also when you planting tomato a big part of that tomato should be covered with earth which will allow better root system, and also about 10-15cm at least of the plant should be planted horizontally for the better roots
tip 5. during the night plants should be covered completely but during the day the place they are in should be open from the sides so they dont go cooked, when plant is about 10 cm and strong then the so called process of the adaptation should begin, that means to adapt you weak and gentle plant to the outside weather, so that means every night little by little you live the cover more open and after about and leave another 10 days cover completely open during the night and day and then your plant is strong and ready enough to live outside on the harsh weather, they should have hard green colour instead weak green like your plants did
tip 6. always plant them when its cloudy outside, so they can root more stress free AKA sun free
so early in the morning if its not sunny, or when sun goes down and ground is not so hot anymore
keep your plants protected from the blight from the early days using what is available in your country, thing called ridomil gold is good
and so on and on, there are a lot more tips, but i dont have time to write a book right now
Very cool tips bro I think you should make videos

A bird once pooped in my garden and a few days later there was a tomato plant
Woah haha that’s pretty neat! Wish a whole flock would poop a garden for me

The entire foundation of society and the economy was created through this glitch. If they patched it now the whole game would change.
It would be fun to play something like the 1.0 version again, now that so many science and technology skill trees have opened up. But a lot of players would be very upset if their money exploits were altered.
Dont let the spiffin brit know about this
Would it not be a great idea to have a survival game were you are left with a subway sandwich and you need to survive through planting the sandwich ingridients? 😂
Thats Cataclysm lol
A survival game where you're a tomato plant grown from a subway sandwich growing tomatoes for better sandwiches
So, at my local subway you could feasibly get,
Tomato, cucumber, and jalapeno.
so.maybe
Need this
Pepperoni plants require a more tropical environment.
0:10 Those quote unquote tomatoes in fast food in America are a travesty and an offense to anything that is considered a fruit. It is void of flavor, texture and color and nutrient.
I just wanna take a moment to appreciate the eye smackingly gorgeous landscape you call home
Very grateful for it!🙌🏻😄
Thanks Jason for helping the cute little plants:)
He’s the hero they needed🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreatescutest
You should plant the cold cut combo seeds next. Would love a sandwich tree.
Haha yes that’d be epic! My fav kind of tree
Looks like Subway is about to get a whole lot more business!! 😃😃😃😃😃
Sell the grown tomatoes, buy more sandwiches, grow more tomatoes, repeat.
The ultimate business plan haha!!💪🏻😅
You need to harden off the plants first, put them in the sun for a few then take them inside and then plant them after a few days of doing that
Okay thanks so much for the info! Actually super helpful! Hopefully I can be successful next time 🙌🏻
Yes it has happened to me too with my plants there was excessive heat and sunlight when I took them outside
Better be careful, Monsato might come to get you for those seeds!
Bring it on haha! 😅💪🏻
Word of advice I used to garden tomatoes with my father🍅never use miracle grew on seeds miracle grew is for plants that are slightly more🌱mature & that’s what gave the leggings to your tomatoes🍅
This is the first video I’ve come across of yours, but I’d like to just say that home is awesome. The garden, the hills, the house itself 🤌
Thank you, very grateful for it! 😄🙌🏻
Perhaps the tomato plants were moved from their place twice and that is why they got destroyed , No problem, getting so much success in the first attempt is a good thing 😌
Ya true good point, could be! And thanks, it was fun to try🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreatesThis project was a lot of hard work and fun, but your dream of harvesting tons of tomatoes will come true one day 😅☺️😌
good theory but it looks like he had mulch at the end of the video which would cause hypoxia making them have a energy crisis and inducing stress
2 problems. Not enough light caused the legginess, can ne fixed with a grow light. And secondly they weren't hardened off.
You are the best UA-camr.., no swearing, no dark humar jokes.., real entertainment, keep up the good work sir!
Yeah! I could watch these videos all day
fr
I love how the sandwich is just sitting there watching the tomatoes get all the attention
Haha it was a delicious lunch afterwards too
Sorry about your loss - the tomato’s. Imagine one of those plants was lettuce 😂
Thank you for your condolences 😅 haha yes that woulda been epic!!
@@itsConnorCreates If you ever plant some, please lettuce know
RIP tomato plants, Hope you do another video like this in the future this was very fun to watch AND btw, THANKS JASON!
seeing it not work out is actually really validating hahaha. thanks for sharing!
All part of the journey! Hopefully next time I’m successful at it!😄🍅
I’ve pitched this idea to friends and family for years. Good to see someone doing it
Haha love it! Great minds think alike!
7:39 that is a symptom of sunburnt. I'm a pepper farmer (technically not a farmer, just have a lot of pepper plants lol) and hardening off before planting in full exposure to sun is necessary for pepper plants just as much as tomatoes. I battle with the same problem. However, the plants looked really good and would have definitely provided a good harvest should they have survived.
I have become a new subscriber, good video!
Okay good to know! Thanks for the advice! And I appreciate your support 😄 welcome aboard!
7:14 I knew it 😢 but at least you tried that’s all that matters… Well it’s good that person commented I feel bad for just saying “THAT PERSON” more like the future plant hero!!! Me and probably all the 40 000+ viewers are glad you had fun 😊!!!
A few ideas of things to grow for more fast food themed videos.
Dehydrated strawberries from Dunkin'
Camomile tea from Starbucks
Poppyseed dressing Chick-fil-A
Apple from Panera
Blueberry parfait from McDonald's
Lemon from firehouse sweet tea
Oregano/Basil from Domino's seasoning packet
Peanuts from Dairy Queen's peanut parfait
Good luck 🤞
Amazing! Thanks for all the ideas!🙌🏻
Forget the tomatoes, your positivity and warmth is contagious!!! Loved this vid from start to finish. Great storytelling
Thanks so much Taylor! I appreciate your support and encouragement! 🙌🏻😄
Tomatoes can be transplanted deeply because there stems produce new roots. If you have leggy plants or plants at all. Planting deep and removing the leaves buried before transplanting will help out. Harden off your seedlings and give them space (not to mention starting at the right time of year) a couple weeks before frost in most states. And you will be good
Thanks for all the helpful tips! Really appreciate it!!😄
1:58 Maybe I’ll grow a lettuce plant🤣🤣🤣🤣
Next time i would like to see a grow cow from a hamburger. This is what i want to see.
OOOP
An intriguing challenge!!
The glitch was so overpowered that the matrix nerfed it with the windstorm 😂
I knew it!
Commercially grown tomatoes are usually hybrids, that means if you plant them the plants won't have the same properties as the parent plants. If you buy seeds and it says F1 on the package it's the same. You need to either buy seeds every year or look for old kinds of tomatoes often sold by organic seed sellers
Okay interesting! Good to know! Thanks for the info 🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreates And commercial varieties are selected for storability. travel and appearance. Flavour is a mere afterthought. That is the reason they taste like shit.
Came here to tell the same. Descendants of hybrids are unpredictable and usually of poor quality. If you want to grow your own seeds, there are tons of non-hybrid varieties available. And I don't know, how about US, but in Europe they are available from usual sellers, not only organic. Most, if not all, more exotic looking varieties are non-hybrids as hybrid seed growing wouldn't be commercially viable.
This is about tomatoes. You can't get fertilized seed from cucumbers. So, if you grow, you have to buy seeds. And with cucumbers traditional varieties are not an option to get high quality crop. It is possible, but requires enormous effort, knowledge and luck.
The seeds from an F1 tomato will still produce tomato's. They just won't be like the F1 you bought. They will look different and possible taste different but there is nothing wrong with them. Most big store tomato's are tasteless to begin with. They are grown more for looks then taste. If you want real taste you need o by specific varieties. And yeah you need to harden off before you plant, and try a 5 dollar grow light instead of the window.
@@trex2621 Not sure what you are saying. I am in the US and grow cucumbers every year and make my own pickles. YOu can get just about any variety of seed that you want, organic or non organic, hybrids and heirloom. Cucumbers also need bees.
Putting a bit of cinnamon when you transplant them will also help them develop way bigger roots and prevent any mold formation making them more healthy and produce more tomatoes. Also once they reach 1-2ft you can bend the stem to get more surface of the stem touching the soil to grow even more root and grow sweeter and bigger tomatoes. Your video idea is amazing btw.
Woah amazing!! Thanks for the great tip! I’ll definitely remember that for when I try again 🙌🏻
Thanks Jason!
😄🙌🏻
I suck at gardening but watching this made me want to try again and learn from my mistakes like u did on the video. Thanks!
Love that! Glad it resonated with you!😄🙌🏻
2:27 actually, its easier to drill the drainage when you have the biomass on top preventing that flimsy plastic from warping or cracking.
obviously drilling upside down isnt ideal or comfortable. but it definately saved potential heartache on that task
I'd have just put a bed of coarse perlite under the potting soil, skipped the lid, and misted daily.
To prevent leggy plants you put a couple of light bulbs no more then 30 cm above them, they are leggy because there was not enough light
Okay awesome thanks for the tip! 🙌🏻
It's criminal we don't teach future generations how to produce their own food. It should be mandatory, but self sufficiency is a government's kryptonite.
There is no such thing as self sufficiency. You are allowed to do what society enables you to do, regardless of whether you realize it or not. The vast majority of people don't even own land on which they can grow their own food, it's time for you to drop the libertarian ideology and get a dose of reality.
babe wake up! new connor creates video just dropped
Do people actually say this shit lol
Yah they do true subscribes!
Appreciate your excitement! Hope you enjoyed the video!😄🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreates i did!
@@quadclawyes in my head and Out loud when no one hears lol
I love the concept. Im an avid gardener for over 40 years. Lots of great advice in these comments. Thanks for the great video.
Glad you liked it! Awesome I aspire to one day have many years like that 🙌🏻😄
Dude this video is hilarious and well made, great idea!
"Learn From My mistake"
That hits🗣🗣
🙌🏻😄
THIS MAN gives efforts to every video and has a truly amazing brainstorming mind. You got a first like within seconds! I also love gardening!❤
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind support 🙌🏻😄
Okay, everyone is talking about your plants growing and everything, but the FIRST thing I thought of was the fact that those tomatoes from Subway were likely hybrids and who knows, even if you get big beautiful plants, whether or not they will produce tomatoes and, if they do, they won't be the type of tomato that was in your sandwich, which you don't even know what type that was! How can you sell tomatoes well, if you can't even name them? IF you get many - or any.
Good point! I’m just gonna have to try again and find out! 🙌🏻
It’s 12am and I’m watching a guy make a garden from a sandwich this is the good life
A great use of your 12am time! 🙌🏻😄 thanks for the support
2:18am rn
You should make a subway sandwich lamp😂
No way 😂 that's a new video now 😅
Haha that’d be pretty cool! Good idea
this man is the one who never gives up and he is one of my favourite youtubers
Thanks so much! I appreciate you🤗
@@itsConnorCreates omg i never thought you would respond :O
as if Naruto wanted to become a farmer
@@nikolayparygin610what…
Ive done this experiment growing seeds from supermarket tomatos vs my mothers countryside tomatos. The supermarket grew very fast and did give tomatos, not the good ones. I think those super thick sticks might killed some crucial amount of roots. People usually put way thinner sticks for tomatos or wait till they actually need support.
Awesome! Okay good to know thanks for the advice!🙌🏻
6:09 "to pet my dawg" 😃
🐶 👋🏻
Dawg
I get so hyped when I see that you've uploaded. You put a lot of effort into these videos, so I try to watch each one:)
Aaayy thanks so much!! Really love hearing that! I appreciate you😄
grow every single vegetable for the sandwich and even wheat for da bread.
(chickens are optional)
Haha yes!! That’d be so epic! Good idea 🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreates it's called pizza farm
Your house is situated in such a beautiful place..
Very grateful for it!🙌🏻
This guy seems like a positive and wholesome man. Great video dude I really enjoyed it!! :)
I was excited at the end when you mentioned it may work with cucumbers, I always get extra of them when I'm at Subway. I'm down to see if something like that'd work. Awesome video, it was fun to watch, thanks Connor!
I appreciate you watching all the way until the very end to see that lil surprise! 🙌🏻😄 and ya would be so fun (and ambitious) to try and level it up next year by doing tomatoes and cucumbers haha!
@itsConnorCreates It is kinda sad that pickles and jalapeños probably wouldn't work since they've been pickled, but heck, I'd like to see you try anything with seeds from Subway. All your videos come from a place of total creativity, and I have enjoyed every one I've watched
I wouldn't have very much confidence in cucumbers because when they are edible and we pick them, they are unripe, and the seeds have not fully formed yet. Eating a cucumber with viable seeds is quite unpleasant, and I doubt subway uses them on their sandwiches. Worth a try though!
@@papes9120yeah, this. I've seen seed cucumbers, and they are yellow-orange monsters. When you compare seeds from that and slices of store-bought cucumbers it's light and day. No way anyone could manage to grow a viable plant from a green cucumber.
4:10 what a good plant dad 🥺
So proud of my growing kids 🥹
The veggie tales😂
Imagine that he is your friend. You bought a sandwich with extra tomatoes and left for an hour, leaving your friend with his sandwich.
Haha but then the friend would be thankful when I shared my bounty of fresh tomatoes (once I get it to work haha)
You have a 40 series land cruiser. Respect!!!
Thanks!!😄
@@itsConnorCreates hope you keep it forever ! Looks it pretty decent condition
Millennial invents farming 😂❤
😅😆
thanks Jason 😊
If the stems are broken, but there are still little hairs above the broken stems, you can cut a little above the broken stem and replant it. You might want to put the cuttings into water first until you see some root growth
Okay awesome thanks for the tip!! Really appreciate it 🙌🏻
0:53 "Sandwhich acquired". Sounds like something Ryan Trahan would say.
6:47 bro went Full BoB Belcher on us 😂😂 Love it
I heard classical music helps plants grow faster. Also maybe keeping them in a greenhouse with adequate UV ray lighting and a automatic sprinkler system.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are needed in larger amounts than other nutrients; they are considered primary macronutrients. Secondary macronutrients include sulfur, calcium, and magnesium. Micronutrients such as iron and copper are necessary in much smaller amounts.
Imagine your mom bought a sandwich for you, but not to let you eat it. Plant it instead 😂
Haha legit! 😆😅
5:40 your scenic shots are always so pretty 🌅
🙌🏻😄
Thanks Jason
🤗😄
The idea of having had fun with it can be rewarding too, I guess.
Beautiful idea 🤩
We need a part 2
Pls!!!
how does this guy not have a million subscribers?
That’d be such a dream come true to hit that milestone one day 🙌🏻
Because he's a moron
haven't watched yet but am already excited for the pigs/turkeys that you'll grow
And don’t forget about the bread trees too!
I love turc Marci playing in the background towards the middle
8:05 I love your cat 😅
you should try to make a terrarium in a jar for your workshop
Good idea! That’d be a fun project!
Respect for farmers in whole world. They work so hard for our food in plate and never get much recognition.
So true! 😄🙌🏻
If I could plant a whole subway sandwich and grow more subway sandwiches, I’d be set.
That’d be epic!
A gardener with a very nice 40 series Cruiser
🙌🏻😄
Conners vids never disappoint 😤
Thank you!! 🤗🙌🏻
Np
Lesson learnt. You emphasized it twice...
That legendary master gardener teacher you mentioned, we will learn from his knowledge and experience. Thanks sir
Exactly!🙌🏻😄
Thanks Jayson
🙌🏻😄
great video, great channel. you deserve so many more subscribers.
Thanks so much!! I appreciate you and the support 😄🙌🏻
I have harvested about 30 tomatoes this year off a tomato I collected seeds from last year! So fun! Welcome to the world of growing from seed! It’s super addicting 😅
Amazing!! Love it!
7:23 rip tomatos :(
Thanks for your condolences 💐 😊
Thanks JASON❤
The gardening guru I wish I was!
“Thank you, Jason!” we all say in unison.
Glad he’s getting the gratitude he deserves 😄🙌🏻
@@itsConnorCreates Lmao, for real. You do great work man, keep it up.
When he dropped the lettuce he was about eat it 😂
It's the tomatoes. Look how we are paying for water and drinking out of plastic. I don't think Subway is giving anything away for free. It's the tomatoes, they are too GMO'd to grow. You did most excellent work. I'd get some heirloom seeds and get growing. Happy Gardening.
Ya good point! I wonder if it’s more to do with how they’re grown/produced in the first place 🤷🏻♂️ maybe I’ll do some research on it and see
I've gotten free water from subways in all 3 states I have lived in as an adult 🤷🏻♀️. I never ask for a bottle though, I ask for their water cups for the water part of the soda machine.
Nope not at all! It’s simply because he didn’t get them used to living outside. He did great raising them, but they need to acclimate to the outdoors. Your statement couldn’t be farther from the truth. There aren’t even GMO red tomatoes currently sold in the US to begin with! There’s only a purple cherry tomato.
"He did nothing wrong, the tomatoes must have been evil"
😂
The problem with growing hybrid seeds is that you're not going to get the same fruit that the mother plant produced.
Very good Video
Thanks so much😄
Trying to make a garden with a subway tomato lmaooooo😂😂😂 im suprised it actually grew
Nice video:)
Ya I was pleasantly surprised too! 🌱 thanks for watching and supporting!
