@turbo6186 - No gardener never waters! Lol Why would you ever let that idea get into your head just because you didn’t see him water? You’re right that is impossible to pull off a garden like his without watering. He even pointed out how he waters only at the base. If you haven’t put any mulch down around your plants, definitely do so, as that helps retain moisture, and keeps the sun off of the soil, which will kill microbes that are beneficial to the plants and the soil. Also help avoid water, splashing back up on the leaves, Which he mentioned can create problems If and when that happens.
your video contradicts itself. You said you only grow single stems not just because you have limited space and want to grow many plants next to each other, but because the whole idea that one stem will be better supported by having a whole root system to themselves. But I guess since you allowed more root space to the latter plant, you allowed it to retain two main stems? You don't give a definitive method for most yields after all.
I live in the humidity of swampy southern Virginia. After last years experiment I've discovered that double leaders on each plant, with top pruning all other suckers (leaving the flowers) is just enough to slow the growth so I'm not dropping string too often and it gives me maximum harvest for the full season (no blossom drop) and gives me the best disease resistance. Keeping the airflow maximized while making sure there's enough leaves to shade the roots (without touching the ground) has been the BEST strategy for my high heat high humidity growing season. I also make sure I'm mulched in well and water without splash. Last year was a fabulous harvest and this year looks to be going really well! Hope everyone has a great growing season! Much love to Tuck and the brothers! ❤
I’m in Southern Virginia, zone 8b. Would love to know your favorite and most successful tomato varieties. The heat and humidity is always a challenge in my garden!
@@SeashellSeashell-du1sl Cherokee Purple hands down... grown in the shade of trees is my #1 producer. I grow Roma Improved VF as my determinate most years and can get them through blossom drop in the shade.... and if I get them in before Mother's day I can grow 2 croppings in one season. Yellow pear suffer from cracking, Supersweet 100 are a great cherry. I put in Arkansas Black this year after 3 years of struggling with Black Krim. Dr.Wychy's Yellow is not a good one for our area due to early blight... but if you can push through they're amazing. Paul Robesons are great. If you like the flavor Brad's Atomic Grape are impressive performers! Prolific, disease and sun blast resistant, long lived... unfortunately I am not a fan of the flavor. I'm trialing Orange Muscat, Tropical Sunset, and Shimmer this season. I've also had luck with Abe Lincoln and Rutgers. Our biggest issues are direct sun and Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt. MY best advice is don't be afraid to plant in the shade and pay attention to spots harboring wilt in the soil... only plant VF resistant varieties in those spots. Best of luck!
@@jeas4980 I am blown away by your generous comment that is so packed with helpful information! Thank you, sincerely! I started getting more serious about my kitchen garden 5 years ago. I have been planting the usual and ready available tomatoes, such as, Better Boy, Big Boy, Big Beef, Celebrity, Early Girl. Some seasons have been better than others, but when the heat and humidity sets in, the struggle is constant. I am finally able to understand that in our specific climate, shade is a must for success. Cherokee Purple is written down in my gardening journal and thanks to you, will be on my list for next year along with your other suggestions. Again, thank you for sharing and for your kindness. 💚🌞
That Team Grow shirt is amazing. I also love that you went over pruning and advanced pruning. When people ask how to prune I always say "it depends" and I go over the basics for easy pruning, and mention the advanced methods you talked about here that they might want to wait to get into once they have the basics figured out.
I am so glad I watched this, I planted 2 tomato plants into a tote, and was worried they wouldn’t have enough space, I am worried mostly about the roots, but 4 of them have gone crazy. They’re huge, already, I am going to take a few suckers off and get them to root in the ground or another pot/tote. I love this.
Several years ago learned to cut off and re-root suckers for more plants. You need them to be a bit bigger, but I used to over winter a tomato in my kitchen and then cut off all those branches to start my new garden plot. I stopped because my passionfruit, figs and banana plants took over my kitchen. Also, hanging upside down whole vines by my ceiling of unripe green tomatoes for winter harvesting, somehow self-seed into all of my tropical pots.
Dude! I love these hybrid pruning techniques! These are the experiments I've been doing for over 25 yrs. In that time, I've learned how to treat every plant as an individual. Dig it, you force a plant to do what you want. She might not be happy. You can let her do her thing. You might not be happy. There's always room for compromise. Keep it clean 'down there' and let yer grow wild, baby!
I have been desperately looking for the pruning with this telling system!!! Thank you for your help. I’m raising Hungarian Heart this year. I was insecure about How to prune. Blessings to y’all and Tuck. Thank y’all again!
I have purchased many of the tomatoes you mentioned. Growing from seed for the first time in many, many years. I was buying tomato plants from Home Depot previously. I built a string trellis system using Tomato Hooks with String instead of the reels. I am hopeful things will go well. It will be a learning experience! Can’t wait to use the seed starting trays and raised bed with cover from Team Grow. I am using Parthenocarpic cucumbers and squash so I don’t have to open the cover for pollination as I’ve had terrible problems with cucumber beetles and vine borers. I also have Kanolin Clay that I will spray in them as a precaution. Love your enthusiasm and Love Tuck!❤❤❤
WOW! Me and Tuck are grateful for the generous contribution to the channel! We appreciate you. That means a lot to me and the little boss. Thank you! 😁🐕❤️
Thank you. I am in southwest Florida. I didn't think about mulch and learning about pruning the lower suckers is priceless. Love your videos and love Tuck! 🙂
This is my first year really attempting a garden and I already see where I fouled up with my tomatoes. No worries, I'm going to try to prune them over the next few days while it's supposed to be crazy hot to hopefully force some more fruit. As always, thanks for such an informative video!
Enormously helpful for me. I’m a container gardener with a sunny patio with southern exposure. My indeterminate tomatoes often get sun scald. Going to try keeping and managing suckers.
Just saw the notification but l'm off to work, l'll watch during lunch. lt's winter in Australia now bloody cold. l haven't been getting notifications, it happens occasionally, happy gardening and hope Tuck is doing ok.
Thank you for such a concise pruning video. I have always been confused by when and when not to prune the suckers for maximum fruit production. Appreciate you bro!
bro i followed you since your mini shed and backyard garden you had many years ago, i finally able to start my own food forrest. this is good inspiration
So true, there is nothing like a fresh, homegrown tomato! Good pointers, thank you. And t-shirt design is REALLY COOL! ❤❤❤❤❤for Tuck, who is so cute and such a good helper!
I do a lot of trimming too like that taking the suckers off but once they get way up there, I just usually leave it, but I like it really bare underneath so there ain’t no leaves touching the ground, but some of them suckers if they’re so big you can still cut them and stick them in wateror take some paper towels and get it wrapped in there and get them keep them wet and they could produce another plant
Thanks for all the tomato tips, I've been out in my garden this evening and trimmed them up just like you said. I'm excited to try the extra sucker thing to get more fruit 🍅🍅🍅
Thanks for the great tips, we're growing tomatoes too and this is really useful! And ❤❤❤❤ for Tuck, he absolutely deserves lots of screen time and lots of peas too!❤
Awesome vid & that shirt is everything! What I would give to have a lovely day stroll in a garden like yours! Thanks for all you teach & Infinite hearts for sweet lil Tuck 💚💚💚💚💚♾💓💓💓💓
Thanks for all the tips! ❤❤ for Tuck. I’m dealing with some pest pressure which I discovered during pruning yesterday. The fun never ends! That new shirt looks awesome! lol, reminds me of my Dad’s first garden in 1970. I think I played the role of Tuck back then and did a lot of snacking while working! 😂
I like the back of the shirt. I think you should put a little pac man looking Tuck on there and have it like he has cut a trail through the garden eating all his favorite veg
I'm following MillenialGardener's lead and planting in partial shade. I'm using trees, not shade cloth, but even in Mo, our UV index is already over 8 and we are in mid-to-high 90s. Over 60 tomatoes and counting. I have a few more dwarf and determinate tomatoes I will put in grow bags in July. It's my saffeguard against 95% humidity when its 95 degrees. but so far, the tomato forest is so good! Thank you for all of these excellent reminders! I need to prune this weekend. ALL the things need it.
I'm letting my sungold cherry tomatoes main stem run on the ground this year. I'm going to try growing the suckers up stakes, maybe 3 or 4 per plant. I'm curious to see how it does. I've had the sungolds do fine sprawling before so I think this should work. I may bury parts of the stem to encourage root production too. Feel free to reply and share your thoughts on this. It should be a fun experiment.

You must have fencing all around! The deer have discovered my garden and ate my tomato plants last year! I didn’t even know they LIKED tomatoes! So I had to put a welded wire fence around them this year. So far, so good! I had been pruning and taking out most suckers. The plants looked pretty scraggly last year. This year I’m not taking the suckers to get more fruit.and the one Sweet 100 that the top broke off will be experimental this year to see what happens to it and it that will have affected the fruit production. I’ll let you know!
When pruning suckers leave a little bit of it. That way it wont grow back . If you take it all it grows back. Might not be 100% but I do that . Seems to help keep them from growing right back.
I started pruning my tomatoes a bit late, the suckers were huge, so I kept those with flowers. Will follow your advise with taking off everything else on those. I hope they will do okay!
A couple years ago, I over-wintered a lemonboy. I had it in a large pot. Brought it in my house just before the first frost. Kept in a spare bedroom by the window and a couple grow lights. By the time spring came, it already had flowers all over it. I brought it outside for a couple hrs at a time every 4 hrs. Within a week, it stayed outside. By the end of summer, the main stem was about an inch thick and the plant itself was almost 8 feet tall. It had produced approximately 80 tomatoes by this point. Also, by this point, I know it is going to be too tall to bring in the house. I tried to save it for the next winter, but wasn't successful. The winter killed it. But it did outlast my other tomato plants by almost a month. Finally when it was done, I pulled the plant up by the roots. The roots took up most of the 30 gal barrel it was growing in. Massive rootball. Gonna try that again with another lemonboy this year. Maybe my Abe Lincoln too.
How often should you feed with fertilizer and bone meal? And do you use both at the same time? Can you tell me what brands you use? I love your channel and have learned a lot over the years. I tell all my Jersey gardening friends about your channel. Thanks!
At planting time, you can feed with a high nitrogen soluble fertilizer to get your Tom's off to fast start. After flowering and fruit set, switch to a balanced organic granular fertilizer and bone meal. How often depends on how big the plant is. At least once a month. Maybe every week when the plants are huge and full of fruit.
My mom used to take her last tomatoes of the year wrap them in paper put them in a clothes basket in a dqrk closet , she wud check and get ripe tomatoes for months 👍cool tip !!

We have 5 yorkies that goes in my garden with us
You can pull suckers and put them in a vase of water to root then plant. New plant.
Yes I did this last year, was amazed
Yes you can!!!
I wanna double 'like' on this comment! Jump on that succession planting!
Yep, who doesn't like free plants!?
I did that this year and I got a lot of tomatoe plants doing this.. no extra seed sowing 😊
I never considered letting the suckers flower and then topping them! I will definitely be adding this to my method

Thanks for sharing the advanced tomatoe pruning methods!
I'm known about removing the suckers for years, but I've never understood why until today. Nice one.
I did this for the first time this year. I can't wait to see the difference. Thank you for the clear precise tutorial. ♥♥♥ for Tuck.
I live in Brazil, and I have learned a lot from your videos. God bless your home today and always.
This is exactly what I've been waiting on! Thanks James for showing the right pruning method. All 16 of my tomato plants are doing great!
I have always been afraid to prune for fear I would do it wrong. Thanks, James. Once again you have shown me the correct way to garden. ❤❤❤❤ for Tuck.
I appreciate the information about sterilization of pruners before going to the next plant. I always wondered about that.
Jerzee James, Tuck is looking good, got a summer fur cut! ❤🐾🥰 Cool t-shirt too! You are the tomato king! 🍅❤💚🍅
Your enthusiasm is simply wonderful!
Let’s Gooo!!! 😁🐕❤️
Great way to trick tomatoes, how to cut and let the sun in. Also to water from the bottom 🍅🍅🧄🌶️🌶️🫛 thanks James 🥰

A shade cloth will help prevent scalding.
Following your advice on the tomatoes and they are looking spectacular. Hearts for the king❤❤❤
Good good. I like how you gave options with pruning suckers and how it affects fruit production. Yay for more 'maters!
love listening to you describe the tips and treats of tomatoes.
Thank you I appreciate your reminding me to remove suckers and use the alcohol to cauterize the cut. Zone 8a NC. Very hot here!
Thank you for the tips Tucker and James! 🙌🍅
You are so good for young gardeners like me
Thank you soo much

So true, there is nothing like a fresh, homegrown tomato! Good pointers, thank you. And t-shirt design is REALLY COOL! ❤❤❤❤❤for Tuck, who is so cute and such a good helper!
Tomatoes seem so easy to grow, but clearly require a lot of maintenance to actually produce fruit. Thank you! -Ed (also NJ)
Love your new shirt. Thanks for zooming in when you show the actual places to cut. ❤

You need to make a " Team Tuck" shirt
Yes perfect !!!
I'd buy it.
Excellent footage, I have certainly learnt something today about tomatoes.
James, great tips for tomatoes. Kisses and hugs for you and the boss; stay well,
Awesome vid & that shirt is everything! What I would give to have a lovely day stroll in a garden like yours! Thanks for all you teach & Infinite hearts for sweet lil Tuck 💚💚💚💚💚♾💓💓💓💓
Thank you for teaching us. Very valuable to learn from your experience.
Thanks for all the tips! ❤❤ for Tuck.
I’m dealing with some pest pressure which I discovered during pruning yesterday. The fun never ends!
That new shirt looks awesome! lol, reminds me of my Dad’s first garden in 1970. I think I played the role of Tuck back then and did a lot of snacking while working! 😂
First time watching from Australia, good stuff, very enjoyable, summer just starting on the goldcoast!cheers.
This video is exactly what I needed right now just planted 7 different varieties for my first time :)
I like the back of the shirt. I think you should put a little pac man looking Tuck on there and have it like he has cut a trail through the garden eating all his favorite veg
That’s a cool idea!
Dude, great content. Thanks so much for sharaing!!! You rock... LET'S GO!!!!
Good idea with spray bottle! I will lable mine so i dont spray it on my seed starter trays by accident
Thanks for this very helpful advice. Tomato plant, here I come! ❤❤Tuck❤❤
OK - going out to try this now. Sharpened my secateurs, got my alcohol spray and let's go. Love little Tuck.
I'm following MillenialGardener's lead and planting in partial shade. I'm using trees, not shade cloth, but even in Mo, our UV index is already over 8 and we are in mid-to-high 90s. Over 60 tomatoes and counting. I have a few more dwarf and determinate tomatoes I will put in grow bags in July. It's my saffeguard against 95% humidity when its 95 degrees. but so far, the tomato forest is so good! Thank you for all of these excellent reminders! I need to prune this weekend. ALL the things need it.
I'm letting my sungold cherry tomatoes main stem run on the ground this year. I'm going to try growing the suckers up stakes, maybe 3 or 4 per plant. I'm curious to see how it does. I've had the sungolds do fine sprawling before so I think this should work. I may bury parts of the stem to encourage root production too. Feel free to reply and share your thoughts on this. It should be a fun experiment.

You must have fencing all around!
The deer have discovered my garden and ate my tomato plants last year!
I didn’t even know they LIKED tomatoes!
So I had to put a welded wire fence around them this year. So far, so good!
I had been pruning and taking out most suckers.
The plants looked pretty scraggly last year.
This year I’m not taking the suckers to get more fruit.and the one Sweet 100 that the top broke off will be experimental this year to see what happens to it and it that will have affected the fruit production.
I’ll let you know!
Love your program and presentation. ❤😅
This information is right on time for me. Thank you! 💙💙💙
Thanks a lot I'm going to do that now, and will see what happens down the road
Thank you that was extremely helpful, going out to prune my tomatoes now.
Hey Tuck, It’s nice seeing you!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Well I've just found your channel, I'm pretty pleased. Looking forward to the upcoming tomatoes season
When pruning suckers leave a little bit of it. That way it wont grow back . If you take it all it grows back. Might not be 100% but I do that . Seems to help keep them from growing right back.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for Tuck!
Thank you for your ideas trick in growing tomatoes

By the time spring came, it already had flowers all over it. I brought it outside for a couple hrs at a time every 4 hrs. Within a week, it stayed outside. By the end of summer, the main stem was about an inch thick and the plant itself was almost 8 feet tall. It had produced approximately 80 tomatoes by this point. Also, by this point, I know it is going to be too tall to bring in the house. I tried to save it for the next winter, but wasn't successful. The winter killed it. But it did outlast my other tomato plants by almost a month. Finally when it was done, I pulled the plant up by the roots. The roots took up most of the 30 gal barrel it was growing in. Massive rootball. Gonna try that again with another lemonboy this year. Maybe my Abe Lincoln too.
Nice info. TY for sharing. Blessings.
Great information James…Thank you! Lot’s of ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ For Tuck!
How often should you feed with fertilizer and bone meal? And do you use both at the same time? Can you tell me what brands you use? I love your channel and have learned a lot over the years. I tell all my Jersey gardening friends about your channel. Thanks!
At planting time, you can feed with a high nitrogen soluble fertilizer to get your Tom's off to fast start. After flowering and fruit set, switch to a balanced organic granular fertilizer and bone meal. How often depends on how big the plant is. At least once a month. Maybe every week when the plants are huge and full of fruit.
