The source of your expertise and gentle demeanor, your parents, are truly impressive in their depth and breadth of knowledge, enjoyment of their work and genuine loving regard for each other. I always feel inspired to learn to garden after watching your tutorials and your parents have doubled that emotion.
First ! Ariel , this was super informative, your folks are a wellspring of knowledge! The apple didn't fall far from the tree! Or should I say tomato! Lol ! Thanks for sharing this with all of us !
There's a lot to learn about tomatoes and your folks have gained a lot of knowledge with their growing operation. I wish them all the best and high tomato yields. Thanks for sharing them with us.
I love your parents expertise/knowledge, same as your videos, so much knowledge. Thank you for your time, and sharing I truly appreciate it you can feel the love of others in everything you do. Thank you Ariel, have a blessed day!
Great information that will be put to good use. I am so grateful to your parents for sharing their knowledge. I personally look for the tomatos with the belly buttons or cat facing, lol, Mmmm, love me some yellow german tomatos, they're my favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome parents with us Ariel♥
Thank you to your parents for all the tomato information on disease, pests, and how to take care of them. I will be watching this over and over all growing season.
Educational videos! I like how neat the tomato areas are kept with the mulch in the paths and growing areas. Thank you, to you and your parents for sharing your knowledge and years of experience :-).
I am learning so much just from listening to your Parents ! I never heard of the little Pink Bumble Bee Tomato ( How cute ! A new one to try out ! ) and I have had to deal with Cat Facing with the Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes and many of the Large Russian Tomatoes just naturally do that. I am okay with it as it doesn't effect the taste . If your parents ever start a Seed Saving / Selling Business please let me know !
Well now that answered a lot of the questions I have had about tomato growing patterns, blight, preventative methods, terminology, and interesting varieties. They certainly did their research well. Here we generally have start our heirloom tomatoes from seed because most places don't sell them or they don't carry much variety. Thanks for all the help. If you could please pass my thanks to your parents I would be most grateful. 🍅🍅🍅
Your parents are lovely Ariel😘 The videos were really interesting. I got answers to a lot of questions😊 You definitely had excellent teachers! Many thanks to both you and your parents for sharing!
Mercy, I didn't know there was so many different types of tomatoes! Your parents seem like lovely people Ariel and we so appreciate them sharing their expertise. Very interesting. Now I'm hungry for a big fat juicy tomato! lol
Thanks for this, it was very informative. Growing up we had Roma and Beefsteak Tomato plants growing in pretty much identical conditions, and while the Beefsteak always split no matter what, the Roma never did.
Thanks Ariel, great video. It's got me wanting to grow tomatoes again. But right now I sure want a big 'ol juicy tomato sandwich on soft white bread, lots of mayo, salt and pepper!
And I thought the Indigo tomato had blossom end rot! Never knew there were so many varieties! I love pear tomatoes, an indeterminate, and is a bright yellow and sort of pear shaped. As to the blight, it’s everywhere. I’ve seen it in Southern California where there is little ground splash, so it’s a problem everywhere. I’ve been growing tomatoes and other vegetables since the 1980’s and I learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Yeah there are more than 3,000 varieties of heirloom or heritage tomatoes in active cultivation worldwide and more than 15,000 known varieties. :) You might enjoy checking out some more varieties here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tomato_cultivars
I was super impressed with your parents and their set up, now I'm so impressed at the variety of tomatoes that your parents have grown. Your mother was right, it was super wet last year from spring to now. Still wet! I sure hope it dries off soon and your parents have an ever better year this year with their tomatoes. Your parents are very knowledgeable as well but your mother said it best, in that she had more to learn about those darker tomatoes. Yep, we all can keep learning. Like I learned from your dad about cat facing or something to that effect. Never knew what that was on a tomato! Now I do. lol And like your parents, we would cut that part out and still eat the tomato. But we wouldn't give those away or sell those. Still a good tomato though! lol Thank you so much for sharing your parents with us Ariel. I can certainly see you in both of your parents, or should I say I see both of your parents in you! I know you are proud of your parents and I know they are proud of you as well. Well done to you and your family!!! Hugs, Brenda
I see where you get your interest in detail/knowledge from. Your parents seem like good folks. How does your dad keep his shirt white though? I would be a messy wreck after even walking outside! Anywhere near dirt...it just jumps onto me!
He's been wearing the exact same white shirts and dark pants every day since before I was born. And since he doesn't like to worry about clothing, once a shirt gets enough wear or stains to not be a good go to work or away from home shirt, my mother sews a red line around the base so he knows that's a dirty project work shirt now till it's totally worn out.
Just to let you know, I water my tomatoes with a 4 liter milk jug every day. I have no splitting or cat facing at all. With the jug watering I have found to be more consistent than any other watering. And have never had any blossom end rot issues.
I think I bought a tomato like the striped one at the farmers market and the interior was absolutely beautiful. (and delicious) I didn't know what cat facing was called, I thought it was just the way those tomatoes looked.
I think that German Striped tomato is perfect just the way it is. I know grocers will say no to those features, but there are companies like Misfits Market that specialize in the veggies that are perfectly fine but don't meet the "beauty standards" of grocery stores. Don't worry, strange tomato. There will be a market for you. I'd love to make some fried green tomatoes from these varieties.
Despite the bits of blight those plants look extremely healthy. By October my plants in a similar growing season look very sad. The hoop and irrigation system definitely pay off. And I suspect they take better care of their crops than I do. 😉
ARIEL YOUR MOM'S "TUTORIAL" WAS JUST AS IMPRESSIVE AS YOUR DAD'S.... I'M NOT A "TOMATO" 🍅 (EATER/LOVER) SO WHO KNEW 🤔 THAT THERE WERE SO MENY TYPES OF TOMATOES..... ( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Ariel/FyNyth .....

This is my favorite part! How did they choose the varieties they chose to grow? Based on color? Size? Will they grow they same ones this year? Jeeze I wish I knew them and could ask advice. They seem to know everything. Now I can't wait for that first garden tomato!
Thank you for sharing!! I too would love to see more of your parents and their lifestyle. Have you thought of a small hoop house for your garden to be able to grow plants that your weather doesn't allow? Once again thanks for sharing. It is greatly appreciated!
Nest Lady, A very simple yet concise lecture of growing hoop house tomatoes! Your dad appears to be a quiet commanding father with much wisdom and your lovely mom emulates modesty and humility. . . You definitely come from a Godly "nest!" Am curious if you can grow tomatoes in your land? Thanks for sharing! Phil S. Carolina
The blight has made growing tomatoes difficult. The minis don't seem affected by the blight. I'm going to try the big guys at a remote property without gardening neighbors, in hopes of producing a beefsteak worthy of a BLT. Your parents are a fount of tomato knowledge. I live for the day I can have a hoop house. Thanks for sharing. Where are your parents growing?
Yes. But you do have to be somewhat careful to avoid getting established pests that keep multiplying and make sure to replenish any particular nutrients in the soil that that particular crop depletes.
your parents are so skillfull…..I learnt about greens and root vegatables and flowers from mine ….they were war teenagers ..my dad learnt to hunt the land out of nessesity ...my mom learnt from her grandmother..me and my sister ate pure food growing up...off the land ..fuelled by the sun..
Well you can check out the whole tiny house cooking playlist I do ua-cam.com/play/PLahYrM1qHHGOwEfjzW9MKoPYC7m9C4AIV.html . Though these are being raised for commercial sale, I know my parents make and can spaghetti sauce, tomato juice, salsa, etc

Thank you for making this video of your parents tomato growing! Very informative!😀
I can smell this video! I love smelling the tomato vines in my garden!
Thanks for the tomato segment, your father is a lot like you, he explained things well. Learned a lot.
I have learned so much from your parents which will help a new gardener like me to understand the mystery of what's going on with my plant. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing Ariel, you and your parents are a well of knowledge 😊🙋☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️💗
Thanks, Ariel, for sharing...enjoyed and learned a lot. Take care and all the best at your new place...

Glad you enjoyed it! I don't know of any very nearby range, but most folks do shoot....
Very imformative and nice to see your parent's growing operation. Thanks for sharing.

Mostly on what their customers (restaurants) wanted to buy I believe.

I do not have a long or warm enough season to produce tomatoes here.
I had no idea there were so many tomato varieties.
The blight has made growing tomatoes difficult. The minis don't seem affected by the blight. I'm going to try the big guys at a remote property without gardening neighbors, in hopes of producing a beefsteak worthy of a BLT. Your parents are a fount of tomato knowledge. I live for the day I can have a hoop house. Thanks for sharing. Where are your parents growing?
They live in south central PA.
Can they replant next year in the same greenhouse? I’ve been told to rotate planting areas but I’ve always wondered if this is true.
Yes. But you do have to be somewhat careful to avoid getting established pests that keep multiplying and make sure to replenish any particular nutrients in the soil that that particular crop depletes.
your parents are so skillfull…..I learnt about greens and root vegatables and flowers from mine ….they were war teenagers ..my dad learnt to hunt the land out of nessesity ...my mom learnt from her grandmother..me and my sister ate pure food growing up...off the land ..fuelled by the sun..
Wonderful!
I always thought you were such a conservative person......after seeing this video, I now think your the wild-child of your family.
:)
Tell your Dad to be careful of brown recluse spiders with that wood mulch.
Would love to know what kind of dishes and recipes ??? Tomatoes are my #1 favorite anyway you can use them !!!

Hydrogen Peroxide? Never heard of using that before. Thx for the tips
Does your dad garden in his white shirt, and if so, how does he keep it white?
He's been wearing the exact same white shirts and dark pants every day since before I was born. And since he doesn't like to worry about clothing, once a shirt gets enough wear or stains to not be a good go to work or away from home shirt, my mother sews a red line around the base so he knows that's a dirty project work shirt now till it's totally worn out.
@@FyNyth Wow; what a team! It sounds sad, but I could get use to wearing the same thing every day.
I don't think that's sad at all. In fact many of the most successful folks in the world do just that to simplify their lives.

I need to be better at this.
