I don't understand why you don't have 1,000,000,000 subscribers
I know, right??? 😂
Not everyone is as bright as we are.
Thank you for another clear, informative video. So sorry for the storm damage, but it’s always encouraging to remember, just like the plants, God helps us weather storms in life and come back stronger. You are so right-when you grow tomatoes you always want extra to share. That’s the best part of gardening.
Thank you, Nancy for adding the measurements on the screen! So easy to take a screenshot and refer back later. You guys are truly the best! I’ve been watching only your videos for the past 4 days.
You are very welcome! So glad you are enjoying our videos❤️❤️❤️
Whenever I grow tomatoes in containers, I use the 5-gallon buckets, as they allow the plants to get even bigger, and produce more fruit. Also, a little trick I learned to maximize fruit quantity takes place during the pollination phase. I went to the grocery store and bought a really cheap children's battery powered toothbrush. Using the backside of the head of the toothbrush, turn it on, point the flower downward, and touch the toothbrush to the stem, just above the flower. This gives more complete pollination than would be attained just by bees or other insects. You get almost 100% pollination success. It's time-consuming, but if you're growing cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, the production increase is well worth the time spent. Another trick is when a tomato fruit has been damaged by insects or animals: cut away the damaged part, and scrape out the seeds. They can be used to start new plants, thus avoiding a total loss. Cust a slice of the tomato fruit about 1/4 inch thick. Put it in the soil, and when it sprouts, thin it out to the healthiest one. One final comment/suggestion is for when the plant has finally died. Tomatoes are notorious for using up a lot of the nutrients in the soil, and it's usually recommended that you use a different part of the garden each year. If crop rotation isn't easily or readily available, you can take the dead plants (minus any dirt from the roots), throw them into an old blender, and puree them up. Spread the pureed mixture back into the soil for the next generation of plants, and reclaim the nutrients. If the plants were really large, you could put them through a wood chipper first, and then blender the final results. I'll say a prayer for the two of you, for continued gardening success in your new Florida homestead. - George
Hello from Cambodia 🇰🇭 I just harvest my first tomato today YES YES YES 😁
You are both such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful tips!
If you two lovely people ever had a “meet up” I’d fly from California to Florida just to meet you.
Good too see you both.would really like a video of the new homestead kinda a update on how things are going.
Im looking forward to see what you grow in Florida. Im in Florida as well and the dirt is very very sandy. I look forward to your tutorials!!

Again, another great video. Thank both of you for the hard work in producing these video's and sharing your knowledge and experiences with everyone. Each one I see, I learn something which helps out with my gardening. Did not know about the determinate tomatoes dying once it produced it's crop. I always thought I was doing something wrong. Hope are going great for you guys at the new homestead. I know that you will be doing things right down there. God Bless you all.
I love Bing Bing’s patience at the end...🌸
He’s such a good boy ❤️🐶❤️🐶
Omg!!! Those are the most mouth watering patio tomatoes. I don't think I could wait to make the salad. Thank you for your videos I have learned alot, still shakey about the spiders, but I'm getting better😄
Fried green tomatoes yummy, i will have to get those and plant them, thanks like always for your videos. Miss you here in Virginia.
You two are simply wonderful. Its such a joy to watch your videos. God bless you both. :D
I am so glad that I came across your channel! I started watching just before the big move, and have gone back and watched all your previous videos too! I am so inspired to try new things! I want to do some structural things similar to yours too! Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for the future!
We will be doing videos on all the things we do around here. Just got the land cleared for the garden. Haven’t started building anything for the garden yet but will be starting soon
You two are wonderful . I love you both. Many blessings too you both and Bing Bing. Love that name.
Thanks for watching!
Have just cut to size what hardwood I could find to make two of these Tomato frames... I will be screwing them together after my lunch. I am so super grateful for the happily given support you share. I also enjoy the inspirational give it a go attitude. Yummy stuff!
Awesome video guys thanks so much for sharing
Those look like really large cherry tomatoes. Thanks for sharing, good work. Love you guys.
I enjoy your videos so much!
I love you too so much it snakes my heart smile watching your videos. I refer to your videos for what I have started. I say to myself often if they say it’s ok the I’m good with that.
Enjoy your garden all year❤️
Hi Hollis and Nancy.I want to see you guys.I miss you guys
I too
Thanks for showing the progress of the garden
Thanks I have never heard of determinant tomatoes. We have had so much rain this year I'm behind getting my garden in I will have to try these. God bless and cant wait to see videos from your new garden.

Thank you for such descriptive videos! I feel very confident as I’m about to start my first garden!
Beautiful plants. So strong and sturdy. I plan on learning how to get mine so healthy looking.
It’s not hard. You can do this
Enjoyed your video on patio tomatoes. I look forward to growing some of my own. Thanks
So sorry that your tomatoes were thrashed but thank you for sharing the lesson on container size. I was about to order 2 gallon buckets but I’m going to go ahead and get the 3. 🙏🏾
3 gallon will be just right for these types of tomatoes 👍
I sure enjoy watching your vids. Thank you, stay safe, and God bless you!
We're trying the Gardening with Leon method. I can 't drag the hose around water in the OK heat anymore. I love watching your channel.
Love this channel!
Love you guys! Thank you for this video and showing about determinate cherry tomatoes. I will use only 3 gal and above containers because we get strong winds here. 😍😍🍅🍅

Looks lovely, thanks for the tips! I'm doing roma tomaters this summer in containers.
I grew Roma’s in containers last year with much success. They are a fantastic tomato for our spaghetti sauce. We love them. We used 15 gallon containers
Awesome video thanks for sharing 😎
Thanks for watching!
I'm thankful for your videos and advice!
❤️
I just adore you guys!...so grateful i found your channel... 😘
Thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️🐶
I love how you 2 grow veggies in these containers.. I dont think ive ever seen the containers sold anywhere,,, Im gonna look to see if i can buy them around here.. I have tried plaintin in our ground & rabbits turtles groundhogs wild turkeys etc help themselves to the garden... Thanks Nancy & Hollis
You can get small food grade containers at Lowes or go to a bakery or business and they give it to you free. :-)
Are whole drilled on the bottom, or the side if these containers? Thank you.
LOVE YOU TWO!
Genius! We grow lots of tomatoes in our garden for canning and drying. Growing a couple determinate plants for salads is something I should be doing. Do you recommend a particular variety?

Just watched this one for the second time. I would love to know what varieties you planted. I’m planning to focus on determinate and dwarf varieties going forward since they require less pruning and staking than the indeterminate tomatoes. Would love to here what seeds you planted. Thanks so much for all of your helpful videos! 💕

Absolutly love your videos
I'm trying this method, last year my tomatoes failed. Thank you 😊
You can do this Angie. 👍
To avoid my pots flying away, I use terra-cotta pots with a few rocks in the bottom to make them more bottom heavy. It's quite sad to have to pick up my knocked over plants every morning because of wind and storms.
It is heartbreaking indeed. That’s a great solution! I like how you think through problems. Good job👍
I really do love ❤️ your all’s channel!!! I’m having a marathon gardening channel watching your all’s videos. I can’t wait to get started. Do you all grow tomatoes 🍅 and peppers inside ? I have never done that. I’m worried about those nasty 🤮 gnats. Even with the soilless soil. I’m afraid my cats are going to get into it. I usually put in containers to grow certain things. Is it to late to plant the seeds for tomatoes 🍅 and peppers ? That is a great 😊 idea to grow some on the patio as well. I think 🤔 I revived a tomato 🍅 plant last year one of them and it was nice to walk on the deck and do that
Awesome video, gotta get my tomatoes planted!!! Got celery going and my taters are ready to plant !!! Got my fingers crossed!! Lol 😄
Thank you for your videos, 1.What month to start my container tomatoes?, and 2.what month to start my container potatoes ?, I live in California. 3.What does determinate tomatoe mean. 4. How many hours Sun light for both tomatoe and potato do they need. I only have a small space with some sun .
I think it means once the plant has produced and been harvested, the plant is done
Wonderful info
Can you point me to the video which outlines the buckets themselves...as in how many holes....what size hole...etc? Thanks in advance!
Great information for this NEWBIE!... thank you! New Subbie
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! Welcome to the family ❤️
Oh my goodness, I LOVE your videos! In this video I am dying to know what is growing in the green containers back over Nancy's left shoulder...? Thank you in advance, looking forward to watching more of your videos. I joined your FB page and followed you on Amazon.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!!!! Welcome to the family ❤️❤️❤️. The green containers you asked about are asparagus. Here is a link to the video:
ua-cam.com/video/KoeBIw9YIrs/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video! Please, could you point me to the videos that show how to prep the buckets, i.e., bucket size for different vegetables, how many drainage hole to drill, what size hole to drill, is there sand and/or gravel in the bottom, if so, what grade of gravel? Thanks for all you do!!!
최고의 농부십니다!
Great videos..........but, you talked about planting early cherry tomatoes in buckets ; then everything changed to patio tomatoes. Did you ever get to plant early cherry tomatoes in buckets? Have a blessed day.
Yes I wish there was a way we could grow tomatoes all year round 😊
Greenhouse
Hey guy's long time no hear! Miss yall. How was your holidays? Love your new intro page. Also how is the new place! Looks great and a lot of land. Ok as you know im in Chicago, have a new town house and not alot of space. Just me and wifey. From what i can tell part shade and light. Little space if any garden. So containers gardening may work. 5 gallons bucket. Any suggestions for tomato, cumber, squash, hot peppers, herbs, its tight quarters. But im hopeful.
hopefully this get to you. my tomatoes are tall and skinny because i started the seeds in a pellet instead of dirt. can i plant them in the potting soil now and they eventually look like tomatoes instead of pencils
Yall are the best at everything even cooking chicken. Please do some cooking video lol
I am growing best boy and cherry tomatoes. The leaves on the best boy plants are green and looking great it is also starting to blossom. My cherry tomato plants the leaves are turning yellow and no blossoms yet.We have had a lot of rain so wondering if it is an issue with too much water. If it is how can I help it?
SURE LOOK BIG FOR CHERRIE TOMATOES
Hollis I just planted my potatoes in 5 gallon buckets and I sprinkled bone meal on top. What’s the difference in bone meal and blood meal
Bone meal is good for phosphorus; blood meal is good for nitrogen
Can I use fish in the container when planting tomato seedlings?
We don't do that
My Grandma would take the green tomatoes chop them up and fry them.
I tried growing patio tomatoes but I kept getting splinters in my mouth.
🤣
You're videos are great. And I'm starting my own garden as well. How many seeds do you plant at the beginning?
I planted two or three seeds in each cup then thin them down to one per cup after they get going
Hollis & Nancy's Homestead great thank you
😛this will be good hope next time the storm blow tomato to my house😘
bryan doo laughing XOXO
🤣🤣🤣
what size pots are you putting your tom's into?
DO YOU PUT THOSE IN 5 GALLON CONTAINERS---PLUS IN VEGAS OUR BACK YARD IS PARTIAL SHADE AND VERY HOT IN THE SUMMER
Hollis while planting in the bucket can you use the lime bone meal blood meal and Epsom salt with any tomatoes or just the non deterrent kind?
I meant to say ...or just the determinant kind?
Yes, any kind
Hey guys, How's Orange Springs?
Hollis, Did you go drown some river shiners yet?
We love it here!!! Been so busy trying to get the place up and running we haven’t been fishing yet. Hoping to go soon! River shiners are the way to go👍
What does the epson salt do?
Amen
Thank you for watching. And I want to thank you for the sweet shout out you gave us. Not many people do that. You are a good soul. ❤️
Something is eating the leaves on my eggplants. What do you use for insect control?
100% Cold Pressed Neem Oil
Bing Bing is the best.
He’s such a good boy🐶
Has anyone tried painting grow containers with cheap house paint to make them last longer? House paint has UV protection, and it lasts 20 years on your house, so, just brainstorming. I'm going to paint my plastic buckets this year and hope they won't crack in the sun like always this time, I wondered if someone had beat me to the idea?
Dear Hollis, I ordered seed potatoes on line and when I received them they were all soft and sprouted with growth 5-6-inched, on top of that the were all shriveled up and very soft. am I correct in thinking the seeds are no good?
Personally i would use them my self ,,,Hollis may say different,,,i planted some that looked like what you said yours looked like and they have come up,,,hope this might help !
They are okay, just get them in the garden as soon as you can
What dirt did u put around that plant after u put it in pot?
It’s the same soil I planted it with
NOBODY UNLIKE THIS VIDEO. NO REASON TO UNLIKE
It’s okay Steven, we just focus on sharing videos as best we can do. Can’t please everyone ❤️
Is the initial feeding of the tomato the only fertilizing you do thru the growing of the patio tomatoes or is there more added thru out the season? No mention of further care and feeding was given. Love your videos.
My husband screwed the buckets down to plywood boards.
Good thinking👍
Thanks for all of your helpful info.
I thought you all moved to Florida.
Gerhard Braatz - They did, but they filmed lots of videos so we would have stuff to watch while they are setting up their new homestead in Florida. BTW, they did post a tour of their new Florida place, so take a look on their channel... ☺️
I saw that video and Thank you.
which tomatoes would you use for year round production?
Indeterminate varieties.
@@HollisNancysHomestead Can you plant indeterminate tomatoes in containers? Also how big are the container to use in the video here? Thanks
Yes. You will need 15 gallon minimum containers
Containers in this video are 3 gallon
@@HollisNancysHomestead thank you
Where would I aquire bamboo poles? Are they better than the cages?
We have some on our Amazon Storefront on the about tab of our channel. I use the canes to support my seedlings in the wind. After the plants get mature and the stems and stalks are strong enough to survive wind then I remove the canes and save them for reuse
I use the canes in addition to cages
@@HollisNancysHomestead thank you! I'll check it out!
@@HollisNancysHomestead I have 1 cage and I may try the bamboo idea as well. :)
you can check .99 cents stores. I saw they sell the bamboo sticks in garden areas
Hello 💚💚🍀🍀🍀💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀
Thanks for visiting
what is their name?

we had a miniature chi and didn't feed her dog food we bought a rotisserie chicken every week and fed her that, our Vet told us that we needed to feed her dog food, that chicken was to much protein and could shut her kidneys down over time. So brother beware and discuss it with your vet. lots of veggies would be different.
Alright Hollis and Nancy, if you dont show us some more of your new place I'm gonna drive down to florida and tie y'all up and give myself another tour 😂. just kidding. blessing to you both! love from Oklahoma ❤💛💜💚💙
LOL❤️🤣. We are working on a lot of new videos. They are all progression videos so they can take a long time to create but they will be worth the wait. No spoilers😇
I know y'all are probably staying very busy! Which is good bc with hard work comes great reward. I hope everything is going smoothly. 💚
Absolutely love how you guys do how to videos from start to finish in one video (spanning weeks or months) with links to videos that have all the details (example the soil reclaiming like this one) as well as failures and how to deal with them. Really informative, don't have to wait for another video or try to hunt down multiple parts, really excellent! Sending your link to friends all the time!
Y’all have been so helpful I started gardening about two months ago in I’m really enjoying it I’m 33 and I find peace having a garden. 🙏🕊🍑🍍🌶🌽🥦🥕🥒🍌...
I am so happy for you. There is a spirit of peace in the garden that I find very comforting. It is my happy place ❤️😇
I just want to say I love you guys, and you are truly an answer to my prayers as I lost my parents young and have always wished I could go back and get some much needed info and learning on planting vegetables as they were amazing farmers. You are a blessing. May God's grace and mercy be with you always.
So sorry for your loss Susan. My Daddy was born and raised on a farm in Georgia. My Mother was an experienced gardener as well. They are both in Heaven too. Me and Nancy will help you with your garden but I’m like you, I wish so often I could ask my Daddy questions about gardening and farm animals. Peace to you Susan❤️
You are a great teacher!! Thank you for your patience and sharing your abundance of knowledge with us!! You are very much appreciated by so many💖🙏
Do you fertilize your tomatoes any time during the growing season? I used your potting mix combination for planting in containers.
Hey, Hollis, could you pinch off the early suckers on these and root them so that after the mother is done fruiting you could replace with the rooted suckers? Always seems a shame to just call it quits for the season on those determinate tomato plants.
Ya;ll moved to Florida right? I watched the video of the new place and loved it. Can you please update us on the new place. Thanks and love the videos.
