what's up with these thumbs down? Are you serious! I have been watching these people for years, love the progress they have been able to make and the growth they have accomplished! These videos are great, and help with all the breakdowns of step by step, how too's. They have inspired many! Thank Hollis and Nancy! You guys are great! Many blessings and keep up the good work!
I know, right?
It's not for sissies to post any content on UA-cam, and to do it with such QUALITY and kindness is amazing to me. Not everyone is going to recognize the value, so, I adopted the position of "at least spell my #@&*! name right!" kind of attitude. Thank you, @saltlife1717, for standing up for this channel. I loved it too!
I agree 100%!
The thumbs down 👎 are done by dominion voting machines attempting to spread their insidious agenda of evil. God bless Hollis and Nancy for all they do and their unwavering witness of the goodness found within The Lord.☝️✝️❤️
I SHARE THE SAME THOUGHT. I JUST DONT GET HOW ANYONE COULD GIVE THUMBS DOWN.
I just want to say that I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into these videos. I haven’t found anyone else that goes through the whole season in a single video. That means these videos take months to produce! Maybe more!
And Hollis your garden designs are so thoughtful and well done. Are you an engineer? You certainly have the mind of one.
Yes, the videos take months to create. We have some we are still working that have taken years. I worked as an Engineering Designer for Newport News Shipbuilding until I retired. 👍
I really appreciate the full progression videos!
Thank you so much for watching. Full progression videos as much as we possibly can.
I knew I could trust this man when he said “tamater sammich”
Now those are some serious tomato cages !!
They get the job done
Nice preparation. For the storms.
Of Today. We get straight line winds
80 mph plus. Before weather forecast
Even sees it. Lord Jesus Christ, Bless
You all make everything so beautiful and easy I mean it looks gorgeous and clean and neat good job Holly and Nancy I love love watching You two, great job I pray that God always keep his light shining on you too God bless you and have a great day
God bless you and your family Deloris😇
plant marigolds around your tomato plants and you will not have tomato worms
I love me some tomato sandwiches!! Can’t wait until I can get some tomatos on my plants. They are just babies right now.
Oh yes!
Oh he's in Florida!
Another great video, Florida livin is looking good on you and Ms. Nancy. Blessings to both of you.
We are very happy here❤️❤️🐶
Sliced green beefsteak tomato dipped in cornmeal or panko fried with Gruyere cheese toasted on sourdough bread.... yummmm
Love it!!
Wow you compiled all this footage from last year to show us before we plant our tomatoes this year? 😍
Yes. It takes us an entire year to create our videos. We do that in an effort to present the entire life of the plant from seed to harvest so our first time gardeners will know what to expect BEFORE they attempt to grow any vegetable. It is the least profitable method for a UA-camr but we are in it for the subscribers not the money👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead wow thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's good to see your new homestead working after all the hard labor you two put into it. And Bing too..
If you can please find a local nursery/greenhouse to support, try to avoid buying plants from Lowe’s and the like.
You are so right Tracey. I should start mentioning that in my videos. I only mention LOWES because most folks have a store available to them in their area but supporting a local small mom and pop nursery should be first choice❤️
Like how you show the progress on the same video. THANKS. No searching for the update. Really, really, really appreciate it.
Love your video
I have been watching for about a year now I recently incorporated his method of bone meal, blood meal & epson salt and my tomato plants haven't looked so fantastic. They clearly stand out from the others.
Hollins, make sure you encourage your watchers to hit the like button! UA-cams algorithm causes your vids to come up more often when someone searches for gardening wisdom 😉👍And you guys do such a great job of sharing both your knowledge of gardening, and the wisdom of knowing and trusting in our great God!
Good advice Brenda. ❤️
Thank God for people like you! Sharing your knowledge while honoring our Creator ❤️
AMEN
Hollis, Nancy, & Bing Bing... I really love all of your instructional videos, I have been a loyal follower ever since I started my gardening and preservation journey 9-years ago. I have learned so much from you and I am extremely grateful for all you do for all of us. I love your new home there in Florida, it is just beautiful. I would like to ask you a few questions if I may... First, do you feed your plants (especially your tomatoes) intermittently throughout the growing season, or only at planting time? Also, is there a reason for having such a great distance between your plants and rows? I know that I have to allow at least 3-feet between mine to allow for the lawnmower, but you do not seem to need that in your garden.
I am hoping and planning to expand my garden this coming year, if my health allows, I have been praying on it an awful lot because groceries are only going to be getting more expensive and I also do a lot of canning and preserving. I like to also plant enough to help the neighbors because last fall they gave me free rein of their orchard, so I was able to preserve apples, pears, Black Walnuts along with the wild raspberries and Hickory nuts from our own yard. I was able to make a ton of Apple and Pear sauce and butter and many jars of Apples and pears in just a very light syrup.
I will be watching as many of your videos as I can and taking notes so that I can put together the best garden I can this year in order to preserve enough for our family and help as many people as we can during these hard times. Blessing to both of you and Bing Bing also and thank you again for all you've taught me and the world.

Of course I like the garden tips, but so refreshing to see people point to God. A great reminder to be thankful and who to be thankful to.
All good thing come fro God . We feel blessed to be able make the videos and share with everyone how to grow and cook real food. Blessings 😘
Always enjoy your videos, I’ve learned a lot. Thanks, the homestead looks fantastic, you have ministered to me through gardening. I’m soul was in a very low spot until I found your channel 3 years ago. Now, I have a beautiful garden in my backyard that brings me peace. To God be the glory for all he has done.
Love your videos and especially the Bible verses. Thank you!
Bye his hands we are feed.give us Lord our daily bread!
I wish I could do what you and your wife I'm a electrian and I've done gardening for years as a hobby but I'm getting in my late fifties and I want to grow vegetables as a BBQ thing as a business be my own boss
Thank you so much for your guidance re planting tomatoes. I followed your advice and my tomatoes are growing like crazy. I have a lot of blossoms and green ones coming along. Praise be to our Father for His bounty. Blessings
Going to plant my tomatoes this way this year! My kids got grossed out by the fish, but I told them it's like fish emulsion! Good "recipe" for planting all your garden! God bless your family!
That is awesome!
I love your videos! I am in NW Florida and just got a few things planted this week and am trying the fish! Can’t wait to see the results.
Have fun!
We use bamboo stakes to give them guidance when they are young. To keep them on the right path we use rods. Sounds like proper child rainsing to me. Not brutal discipline, just guidance. That way they grow up straight and right and strong. Because we love them unconditionally we make this sacrifice.
What a great metaphor.
Perfect timing as I'm just getting ready to plant more tomato plants . Any suggestions other than fish? I'm not much of a fisherman. Thanks
bonemeal is enough. get peat moss if you can
God bless!!! i'VE TRIED TO GET THAT BLACK KOW, BUT IT IS VERY COSTLY HERE UP TO $38 A BAG
I was surprised at how many fish you put in one hole. That is a great idea. I may be able to get some fish scraps. I'm going to try this. 👍😀🌱🌻🌼😍🌷
Be sure to cover them with garden lime
Fish is a fantastic organic fertilizers!
Adding the fish really works!
have you noticed black kow quality reduction since the introduction of Grazon
I notice you are watering, from the top. I've heard it isn't a good idea to get the leaves wet...
@@dustyflats3832 thanks for the reply.
I love your show! Started watching this Spring (2021), I have learned soooo much already. I grew a large garden many years ago when I owned a 1/2 acre of land. But now I only have a small area. I have planted tomato plants too close. The plants are too close together now (about 12-18") , is it to late to replant some elsewhere?
Have you looked into a square foot garden? May be able to use existing spacing.
Hollis I just got my tators planted today. I haven't even started my tomatoes seeds yet. I will start mine in a few days when the signs get right. I plant parks Whopper been planting these for 35 years. Hollis I put the shells which is calcium in the year before where I'm going to plant my tomatoes. I get mature manure that's been cleaned out of my uncle's lots. He stacked it up and I wait a few years on it before I get it. Here in Oklahoma I use an 18-46-0 fert between my plants. I planted six feet apart and it will grab the the fert as the root systems get bigger. Like you I use fish.
I would trim up the bottom of those plants. I'm not a fan of the water right over the plant like that. Tomatoes don't like their leaves wet but I'm glad you had success. May God bless you. I love your videos. Recently, I've binge watched all of them. LOL Happy Spring!
Zone 4a = not a long growing season. How deep should I place the fish pieces? Thank you for sharing all your gardening wisdom Hollis and Nancy. Alberta, Canada
Hi, I’m new to your channel and thoroughly enjoyed watching your video on tomatoes. I’m trying to grow mine in a hydroponic way and you’ve got me looking soooo forward to having a tomato sandwich! 🙏🏻🥰🇨🇦
Have you guys tried wood chip mulch down there? Might help improve the sand.
The video made me smile. Now I can't wait to start planting and getting fresh vegetables. God bless.
You can do it!
I love to watch you plant and the information you give on planting and fertilizing.Great videos. God Bless.
I sure wish you guys were in Alaska teaching me how to grow healthy food for my family. I love the way to teach!
I'm still watching and learning, there is still universal knowledge that still applies up north.
Hollister
Have you grown the big zack or giant Belgium heirloom beefsteak family of tomatoes?
Now those kick out some tomato sandwich fruit.
I grew the Big Zach before. They are impressive
Always enjoy learning something new. Thank you both so much for you knowledge and kindness.
I love your container mix my vegetables garden never looked so nice we live in central Florida thank you for all your help and prayers be with you and your family! God bless
I love y’all’s new Homestead. Hollis, I just have a very small garden. I’ve been growing tomatoes in five gallon buckets, but they get so very tall, like 7’-8’, and they want to fall over. I love indeterminate but I think I’m doing something wrong. Do yours get tall and if so, how do you support them pass your wooden cage? I love the way you explain things so clear. Thank y’all for such great videos.
Dee I was just going to ask this question. What is used to support the indeterminate tomatoes after they flow over the side of the crates Hollis has built.
@@kathymccay9355 - In an earlier comment, Hollis said that he just allows the plants to drape over the wooden frames because it is not feasible to reach higher than his arm span/reach. Hope this helps. I have seen other videos where they do the same, only their framing is a bit higher than the ones Hollis built for his. I just love the frames he built, but with the cost of wood these days, I am planning to make mine from goat fence or cattle panels bent into squares. I am hoping this works for me as I have tried trellis and seems I spent more time tying them to it rather than enjoying the process, and then at the end of the season spending all that time to disconnect all those little plastic rings to be able to use them again is just so much work.
Another terrific video...well done! I grew Beef Master Tomatoes last summer for the first time. They were very big and meaty. I plan on growing them again this year. Homestead looks great. God Bless!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! Is it too late to apply all these nutrients if I've already planted my tomatoes? What method do you recommend for applying the nutrients to plants already in the ground?
After you burn stuff take the ash and put that in your garden. There is a lot of minerals in it. If you ever seen a areas that has burnt the next year there is massive growth. It's messy but if you water the ash down shovel into buckets and mix with your homemade soil you will see a big difference in your plants.
Thanks for awesome informative videos
You are very welcome ❤️❤️🐶
The only problem I had with black cow is that no one could tell me exactly if the cows that are being used to produce this material are clean or clear of any types of medications or drugs to keep them healthy no one at the company would answer the question can you give it to me in writing are these cows being fed any hormones are drugs they couldn't answer the question.
How long will that variety produce?
Thank you..
those tomato fortresses must be hurricane proof. why are they soooo far apart?
Ventilation and room for my large mower to maintain the area
Love to watch your videos. Was watching with my son and when you threw the fish in he said that will be stinking. God bless you and Nancy.
LOL
You folks are fantastic, we really enjoy your videos and all the work you put into helping us. It looks like the new homestead is working out for you and Nancy. Would love to meet you folks someday, Jim and Carol
Thanks so much
As always you have exceeded expectations for information on tomatoes. I look forward to seeing the progress with all your garden plants.
Gif bless you Cheryl ❤️❤️🐶
I’m so jealous. The snow is mostly off my garden (early because we’re unseasonably warm at the moment) but it isn’t even time for me to start my seeds for another couple of weeks!
It won’t be long now😎
Wow! Happiest tomatoes I've ever seen! That prep work with the soil was wonderful! Thank you Hollis and Nancy!❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Just have found your y-tube channel and are enjoying the videos and the information you share. Also enjoy the way you have time lapse, very good format. Again thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
I wrote Hollis ... The auto correct changed it🤪
those are some serious tomato cages....
Overkill x1000!
Awe! He says tamata! That in itself is a taste of home! I live to far north!
Love love watching your videos! You both are such a joy!
Thank you so much❤️❤️🐶
Hey Hollis. Do you have a drawing/plan for your tomato towers built from 2x4's?
Yes, it’s on our Facebook page.
Thanks so much Hollis!
Awesome video, really like the growth progression from planting to harvest on one video. Thanks
Whst everyone hopes for in a gardening video. Not having it is like watching a chef cook a great meal but not cut into or taste it
More to come!
We moved to Ocala, Fl 2 years ago and have had NO luck growing anything. We came from Illinois and can't make the transition to this soil/sand that we have down here. You seem to have done a great job! Thanks for the videos, keep um comin'.
I really enjoy your videos. I am using 5-gallon buckets for my tomatoes. I wondered how much of the Lyme, blood, and bone meal I should use in each container?
3 tablespoons of each. Also add 2 tablespoons of Epsom Salts
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank you!
Do you add any amendments to your tomatoes after planting?
I don’t. The fertilizer and fish will last the life of the plant
Nice beautiful garden. Tomatoes look wonderful! Question why the landscape logs around the tomato plant? Are you planning to grow other complementary crops around them?
Hollis and Nancy are the grandpa and grandma we always wanted
❤️
Watching your videos is like going to gardening school! I learned so much! I love to try to bury fish in my raised bed but I got raccoons and stray cats that have paid visits to my garden before, would lime powder be enough to mask that smell over time? Is there anything else I can do to deter that? I lost squashes and tomatoes to these critters who dug up my plants before but I really want to try to bury fish 🤔.
I would bury the fish quite deep before you plant your plants. The critters might not know it is there if it is deep enough! Maybe cover it with compost or leaves in the bottom of the hole over the fish with lime also before planting! If all else fails, use liquid fish emulsion that you dilute with water and pour that in the hole before planting and when you water (follow directions on bottle) good luck!
yes, that's exactly what he does. He covers the fish with lime for that very reason. It's on the tomato playlist.
Wow..you have tomatoes, already. Nice to be in Florida, huh.lol. ?? Is black cow made by black gold ? I love black kow, here in Indiana it sometimes is hard to come by. Looks good.
Hello... I live off of Saunders road about a mile from your old house in Newport News VA. Do you not prune the shoots (suckers)? I have never tried that. I have always pruned my indeterminate tomato plants.
Hey .. u 2 , Moniee-Mon is listening thanks for the vedios 😇💞💝
Our pleasure!
Know what would make mixing your soil easier? A cement mixer from Harbor Freight. Easy Peasy!
Yes, I want to get one.
Kinda had a lot of unexpected expenses lately so we decided to wait a bit. Sometimes God says wait to us
I'm just surprised. I'm live in India and we use cow manure for all plants almost plus cocopeat. It's like peat moss but better. I'm still having problems with my tomato plants I'm sure I'm over watering them
Thanks for the info about blossom end rot. I have that problem every year.
Add plenty of lime and it will stop. It is easier to prevent than to cure
I just “found” you on you tube. I too use fish for fertilizer. Clean some crappie, fertilize the garden. Can’t miss!
Mr. Hollis, when your container mix is in your wheelbarrow do you already have some black kow mixed in with that and then do you add an additional bag to that? Thank you for all your videos!
Hey Hollis! Long time viewer. Can you share how you like to make your tomater sandwiches?
ua-cam.com/video/CFBlyjMvSQA/v-deo.html
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thanks yall! you can really hear the passion in your voice when you're makin that sandwich
New subscriber. I have a garden every single year for gosh 15 or more years and I still don’t know everything.I really don’t want to grow tomatoes 🍅 inside because I do not want those nasty 🤮 bugs in the house. Gnats in the house I don’t want. I’ve grown well gotten the tomato 🍅 plants from a garden store but I have problems with growing the seeds but I am going to try again outside. It se seems like a hard seed for me to grow. I’m going to try again. Anything else I could use ? A egg 🥚? I don’t have access to fish.
Now that your living in Florida how are you dealing with Root Knot Nematodes? I live in south AL and they make growing tomatoes, peppers squash very challenging. I see you plant tomatoes in the ground. Are you seeing nematodes on your roots?
I use black cow in most everything I grow ... I love it
Very nice! Tomato, mayo and black pepper, on wheat for me 😋
I'm going to definitely try the soil combination for growing tomatoes this summer. Thank for sharing.
Spring 🍅👏👏👏
No tomato plants yet in Idaho 3/11/21. As a Hoosier, mater samwiches are the best
Thank you Sir... I have learned alot from you..... Greetings from Wyoming
I assume you are using pressure treated wood for the tomato cages. Any concerns about chemicals leaching into the plants?
Do you recommend separating 2 tomato plants that are growing together in the same container or just plant both as is?
👍👍😊
Hi Hollis do you think sardines would work for tomatoes😊
I normally don't do well with the big tomatoes but after watching your videos in giving it a try again. Figures crossed and good lord bless them 🙏
You know they’re big when they’re bigger than Hollis’ hand. Great job! Hollis I’m curious. Why did you plant them so far apart?
I wanted to ensure good flow through ventilation between the plants. Mine are a little further apart than what is really needed because I needed enough space to mow around them with my mower. My lawn mower is big so I spread them out.
those bag of black kow are very expensive up to $35 here where I live; is there any other?
Can you dented alex&phil on yu yu UA-cam video they are trying to homestead need help
I've grown Beefmaster for many years! One of my favorites! Biggest tomato I ever grew from one of the plants was a little over 2lbs. :)
Yummy.. Is it tomato season now?! 😄 I am just about to start my tomato seeds today, here in Europe, Germany.. Only 5 months left for a good tomato sandwich! I wish I could skip the time like your videos do 😄 Thank you for sharing it with us! Greetings, Judit
Thanks for watching Judit. Enjoy your tomatoes this year❤️
Been moving around last few years and haven’t been able to do a good garden. Watching your videos always inspires me! Looking forward to planning a garden.
