Another awesome video Gary! Thanks for sharing!!!!! I have been an organic farmer for over 12 years now and I must tell you a tip an Old timer taught me. Spray milk(I use raw milk but any milk will do) at a ratio of 1:10 milk to water every couple weeks all over your tomato plants. When I started doing this my tomato and pepper yields tripled in quantity. They also seemed to me to taste sweeter. What it does is not only give the plant more calcium and other needed minerals it also helps strengthen the cell walls which help fight off fungus. It also attracts beneficial wasps that eat the larva of worms and other pests! I look forward to your next video!(-:
Excellent Series! I live in Baltimore and I'm a apartment dweller who is somewhat fortunate because i have to balconies so I'm able to grow vegetables on both sides of my apartment. I've used different ideas and suggestions watching your videos keep up the good work!
Thank you for this outstanding video. I have watched it over and over again throughout the years to grow successful backyard tomatoes. Thank you for all the hard work on this video and all your other content. It is much appreciated.
I am new to growing heirlooms and this video was so informative!! Saved it so i can revisit as my plants grow. Thank you so much! Will be subscribing and watching more of your videos
Gary : Excellent video ! Lots of good information for us Tomato-holics , and well presented. Thanks for showing all the procedures carefully. Your videography and narration is very good.
Hey Gary had our first frost few days ago and my tomato plants made it just nicely threw the night! so now I am hardening off all my tomato and pepper plants so i can plant them! Thank you for sharing this!
The most detailed video. I learned a lot. I am going to the nursery nearby our home and buy items needed for my tomato plants. Your ingredients are cheaper too. I love it. thanks.
Ange... I am piecing the question together. Lets see. So they are growing well cause you did a good job. You can feed them every 1-2 weeks with like 1/2 strength liquid fertilizer. You don't want to overdue the nitrogen. If you can slide them to some shade that will help. A saucer helps too. Like you said 2x watering a day and they still dry out. The wilt is from the heat. Shade might help. I would pinch off new suckers as the show. After some of the big suckers flower...
Hi Gary ... love your teaching style, you are so organized with your thoughts and presentation layout. Very appreciated. You have a nice head of hair too, lucky guy!!!
You did not mention the FACT that you can plant the suckers and they will produce more tomatoes than the mother plants. This goes for the suckers on the suckers plants. This was shown to me by my father 60 years ago. So one only has to buy or plant 3or 4 tomatoes and plant the suckers , since it is best to plant tomatoes about every 2 week all season long , this will produce more than you can eat. You can give away the excess to someone you care about , You can freeze , Can some and trade for some thing you have not grown.

This video is gratifying to watch in a way that's hard to describe, you can really tell it's a labor of love to raise these plants from start to finish! I love this format, as I'm just starting to plant some tomatoes (with seeds from your seed shop!) this video gives me confidence I can see it through to the end, and is such a helpful preview of what's to come. Thanks so much for making these!
I have some videos of supports I use in 5 gallons. Might be in the pea videos. The cheapest is buying 5 or 6 foot bamboo canes. They are thin and come in like 6 packs. You can find them in big do it yourself places for like $3 a pack. I put three in a container tee-pee shape triangle an tie the tops together. I also use the tomato wire cages you would use the ground. They cost about $4 a piece. Depending of the variety sometimes you need a cage and some bamboo sticks. They can get large.
I love watching your videos they are so informative. I am a new gardener and your videos have really helped me tremendously. Thank you so much. Please keep them coming.
I just planted 7 baby tomato plants yesterday. First go at growing anything. I'm glad people like you took the time to share their knowledge with us! I'm sure It'll be a disaster, but I'm hoping for the best.
Good luck. Thanks. You can always cut the top of the tomato once it gets to tall. Let the side shoots work and the remaining tomatoes grow. By the time it gets to big.... hopefully you have a great harvest.
Been growing tomatoes for a few years now, but have gotten my hands on some heirloom tomato seeds that I plan on using next year. I watched your video on saving seeds and figured I would check this one out as well. I'll watch again as a refresher before I start next year. As always, thanks for your input Gary. Keep 'em coming. Hoping for a nice harvest of heirlooms next summer.
You rule dude! Pardon the language. What comes across is your love for the plant. Where else could I go to receive such instruction? Your efforts are truly appreciated. I'm only honing my garden skills.
I have watched all your videos and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I have learnt useful lessons and am going to use your methods to grow healthy and happy tomato plants this summer. Thanks Gary!
Suckers arent a waste of time. They can add to massive plant growth that overwhelms the garden and makes disease risks higher. You prune out many of the suckers for that reason to manage growth. Pruning a whole lot at one time can shock them. I prune over a period of time.
Thank you for all the great information you provided on your channel. I especially enjoy following single plants from early to late in the season. I'm starting seedlings for the first time and learned a lot from your channel. Thanks again!

After some of the big suckers flower... you can pinch the tips of those sucker and stop them growing but you will get the tomatoes. Just don't pinch off the growing tips. Hope that helps.
I appreciate you and your channel so much! I can't think of anyone else I've seen whose taking the time to go through and splice together their series of videos for my benefit! I appreciate how you just dive in to the subject matter, you're extremely thorough, and the results are clear. Thank you thank you thank you
Wow! I sure lucked out finding this video today. I just planted a Black Krim in a pot yesterday, and saw in your video what I did wrong. I didn't have luck last year growing a tomato either, and now I know why. This is a great video. It clearly shows the steps to take. I'm going right out to replant properly. Thanks so much.
You do for one reason. If you have an indeterminate tomato in the upside down bucket it will get huge. The weight becomes an issue and so does watering. So I would prune it to manage the size. If you have determinate tomatoes you dont need to prune it. Ive grown tomatoes upside down and they start well but often overwhelm the container. Good luck.

I use a 5 gal bucket & add 1 cup of Epsom Salt, 3 quarts (not 8) of mulch, & a good spill of fish emulsion. I fill the bucket with water & use a small shovel to mix it well until the water turns black like a witch's brew. I leave it over night to brew. I mix it again before I use as a fertilizer for my tomatoes & peppers. It's amazing! I've used it on mature plants & witness the size difference in the stems, flowers, & fruits.
This is perfect, thank you. I was just given a Black Krim and you came up on my search for how to prepare soil. It was a great coincidence that your plant is also a Black Krim. Here in California, it was already fruiting at 2 feet when I got it. I'm going to grow it in a 5 gallon bucket and I hope it doesn't get that big!
That newspaper tip works great! I covered the paper with mulch. It cut down on the pests & cutworms burrowing in the soil. I use a mixture of Epsom Sal
Thanks Gary for sharing this, it sounds all very interesting and useful, I live in Burbank, CA and just started my first Tomato garden from scratch 3 days ago, will keep you posted with the progress for the next few months, I like to learn more and share the experience,
Gary Pilarchik Did you ever discover why the leaves wilted and fell off? I've experienced this problem in the past, the plants became very tall but scraggly and stopped developing fruit. Just curious if you know how to prevent that from happening again.
I don't recommend turning the soil over. just paper and mulch it. Let the worms do the cultivation of the soil and over time your soil will improve dramatically.
Thank you for the great video... I had no idea all this care is required for a beautiful tomatoe plant. I can't wait to share your paper barrier with my mother-in-law

Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) tomatoes
I really like how you take 5 or 6 of your videos done overtime and then combine them into one. Soooo helpful and enjoyable. Thanks Gary. 🍅
Newspaper is a really good mulch and barrier. Glad it worked.
Great video, Gary. For clear and easy to understand. My first year with the Black Krim, looking forwarding to tasting them. Thanks so much.

That is great to hear! I do fear boring any viewer. I really appreciate the comment. A shade cloth over your tomatoes can help in the desert.
Excellent Series! I live in Baltimore and I'm a apartment dweller who is somewhat fortunate because i have to balconies so I'm able to grow vegetables on both sides of my apartment. I've used different ideas and suggestions watching your videos keep up the good work!
Milton Roseborough Good luck. That is lucky to have the sun cooperating with balconies.

VERY GOOD VIDEO LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE THESE VIDEOS . . .
Thanks. You mean of me actively in the vid? I might put myself in more. I just started videos with a format and have been sticking with it.
I am absolutely jealous of your dirt! It looks loose and easy to work with. The soil in my backyard is usually full of clay. :) Good video
This is perfect, thank you. I was just given a Black Krim and you came up on my search for how to prepare soil. It was a great coincidence that your plant is also a Black Krim.

Very appreciated. I am glad it helped. Please spread the word if you have a chance.
Forgot to mention, thanks for a great video.
Thanks a lot for this very informative video. I'm growing some tomatoes for the first time this year. Your video is very helpful.
Robert Versteegen Youre very welcome.
Good detailed explanation, I am gonna follow each step. And post my result
I subscribed to your channel and the plastic wrap on the tomato cage is a awesome ide thank you very much i know what i am doing this weekend!
Sir, this is the most informative video on tomatoes I have ever seen on tube. Thank you so much. Thumbs up & subscribed.
That newspaper tip works great! I covered the paper with mulch. It cut down on the pests & cutworms burrowing in the soil. I use a mixture of Epsom Sal
Mine is clay too. That is just an amended area. It really is a pain minus the micro nutrients in it. My soil cracks a lot when dry.
great content. really helped me out in a container garden in NJ. i love the end-scene of the tomato in all its various cuttings. thanks you again!
thanks for all of your work on these helpful videos.
Very glad to help. I enjoy it.

Enjoy! Youll have fun.
Thanks. Good luck with your garden.
