I'd like to add is that tomato plants should be watered in with a high phosphorous fertilizer solution once planted (ex. N-P-K = 15-30-15). This will stimulate root growth and help the plant anchor itself firmly into the ground to ensure robust growth into the future. Although the granular fertilizer should work, it is slow release and takes a while to 'kick in', so this initial boost is likely required. Thanks for watching growers, and happy tomato growing!!! 😀🌱🍅
Awesome video, so great to see from start to finish. I know it takes a while to film, but so satisfying to see the whole process. Also great to see what varieties you like, I'm always interested in learning about new varieties. Have a great growing season!
Thanks Jeanie! Yeah, it's a bit to put together but like you say, it's satisfying to see the whole process. I've got more videos in the pipes for this year's garden, so be on the lookout! Cheers.
Hi Lucas, thanks for getting back to the basics. The tomato plants available are limited in both type and amount. It takes work and attention to start plants from seed, but well worth it to grow what you like or would like to try. Looking forward to growing our gardens with you this summer! 🐝
You're welcome Tricia! Yes, growing from seed is something that can be very rewarding! I've been wanting to do this video for a long time, and, although it's not perfect, I hope both new and experience veggie growers alike find it useful. Good to have you along on the growing journey this season. Fingers crossed it's gonna be a great one for both of us!!! 🍅
Hi Marie! There are so many great varieties of tomatoes... what are you looking for? If you want classic red beefsteak tomatoes, I suggest Big Beef. For cherries, Supersweet 100 and Sun Gold are good ones. Typically I like hybrids vs heirlooms as they are more productive and disease resistant. As far as fertilizer goes, use something that's higher in Phosphorus and potassium.
Subbed! One of the best how to vids I've seen. Thank you so much. My issue is I dont know how to prune. Im not sure where the flowers/tomatoes grow on the plant. Its always seems like the sucker are the flowers. I wonder if I've over pruned for the air circulation. Again, I love your video. Will be watching again.
GOOD Day from Suriname 🔯. I love this Vid. Thanks Lucas for showing me how very high quality the most littleless Cherry Tomatoes grow sooo high ❤❤❤ That is what I really needed to know. I bought some very expensive imported cherry tomatoes for salad, and I dried all the seeds❤❤❤Because I do not know where to buy it locally in my Country. Do not forget that Suriname is a third world country 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏but I love and Love my Suriname. I am sooo happy. Thanks for your video to not Overwater them. I can not wait how high they will be in front and next to my house❤❤❤❤ Thanks to You, I am looking for the sunniest parts at my yard.❤❤❤❤ God Bless you FOREVER PRECIOUS DEAREST Sir Lucas. Greetings from an 60 year old Fanatici fan ( follower )of Your Video with great knowledge of 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 tomatoes. RESPECTFULLY WONDERFULLY AMAZINGLY greetings to You Sir Lucas
Great video. Can you do variety reviews especially on the unpopular ones? I can’t find any videos on granadero on UA-cam but it’s been touted as the most productive plum type and I’m intrigued
Thanks Adwoa! I might do that once I have ripe fruits this season! Not sure if you noticed but I featured Granadero in this video. You can see it briefly in the 'Harvest Time' section beginning at 13:05. I personally didn't find it very productive, however I only planted one plant and due to my half acre project did not spend as much time as I should have caring for it.

Hey Tiffany! I've grown Green Zebra, Cherokee Purple, and Black Krim, but would love to experiment with more heirlooms, and plan on it in the future. They're super cool and taste amazing. Since I currently have a small garden space to work with though, I'm focussing on hybrids to maximize production.
@@lucasgrowsbestyt Oh yay!! Maybe consider getting a PO box; some companies might want to send you seeds to try. You know if some of your subscribers mention your channel while making a purchase online.😉
I love 'Big Beef' which has been a quite productive classic beefsteak for me (great for sandwiches!). I like 'Sun Gold' and 'Supersweet 100' as well for cherries.

Yes, you use the strips cut from plastic grocery bags too! That's the best use ever for those things.
Reduce, reuse, recycle! And save money!!! 🤑

Hi Lucas, any plans of cultivating a half acre land this year too
Excellent guide
Thanks Malik!
Could you upload video for growing and maintaining beetroot in pots and lettuce
Good
What nutrition do you use for Flower drop?please the information thank you
I love Sun Gold tomato, but I can't find the seed,
Is the sun from indoors enough for a new seed? Or Too Much?
Ha, I’m trying to figure out where you are from this video - best guess is close to Niagara. Yes?
You aren't too far off hahaha 😅 How did you guess?
McKenzie Seeds and the way the neighbourhood looked - but you gave temp in Fahrenheit so I figured close to the border
What did you do with all those tomatoes???
Ate them! 😄
Hay quá
Quanta variedade aqui não tem 👋👋👋👋🍅 lindos 😋
Obrigada! 😀
