Fun fact, tomato horn worms are super hard to spot because the match the color of the leaves. But at night, if you use a black light flashlight, they glow a beautiful bright blue which can easily be spotted.
Yes they do, but every bug for a 1/2 acre is swarming the light trying to bite your face off in the process
I just came inside from a horn worm hunt!
@@travishodges5179 Just don’t wear a headlamp! Be like a ninja, get in, do the job, and get out before they know you’ve been there! Lol
@@jeas4980 did you find any?
If the wasps have embedded their eggs in/on them, the hornwoms are VERY EASY TO SEE because they look like fat green worms with rows of white tubular projections on their back. Yuck!
I remember a video where you said $1 peppers was like growing money, they cost $2 now! Thanks Brandon
I have never heard that daddy long legs are the most venomous spider. That is ridiculous! I have a ton of daddy long legs but that is probably because I have a lot of ants. Ants grow aphids for their sap. This year I found 4 red lady bugs in my garden. It made me so happy
Props to the Full metal jacket reference
In southern NV and we love growing the sweet 100 cherry tomatoes! They’re prolific and delicious.
I am raising cherokee purple, cherry, better boy, and beefsteak this year in northern KY. Here is a tip if anyone wants to propagate tomatoes and save some money. We break off the suckers and put them in water to root. After a couple weeks they're ready to plant out.
I didn't have my tomato cages secured down, the cucumber plant took them all down crushing a whole run of vegetables. Lesson learned the hard way per usual
Its the way most people learn, unfortunately.
Stuck in an apartment. No garden. Just a few herbs. In the past I've grown blackeye, snow, pigeon, and sugar snap peas, black and Lima beans, mostly grape variety tomatoes, pumpkin, watermelon, nopal, and papaya. If I had a yard, I'd be focused on gathering good organic material for compost here in Zone 11b.
I put marigolds all around my tomatoes never had an issue with pests
Daddy long legs are very sweet and friendly with people. Growing up on east coast, my friends and I made pets out of them. I rarely see any in Indiana. I’m not sure why.
Pineapple, Amish paste, Hungarian paste, yellow paste, pear, black plum, Cherokee, mortgage lifter a couple other tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, beans to peas shelling and snow, potato, sweet potato,radish, lettuce, celery, cabbage etc.
I planted borage last year & it has come up all over the garden..it keeps tomato worms out
Excellent learning video. Had a ‘Bill Nye the Science guy’ feel 😜🤣
I know you love history, you enjoy science too?
Thank you!! I was losing my mind up in here trying to start these tomatoes!! My growing season is longer so good to hear it isn’t too late to plant secondary starts! I’m overwatering. For sure! 🙄😬
I appreciate you so much. Say it like it is. Its great!!
This year we are growing garlic , potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermellon, green beans, squash, zucchini, some herbs and flowers, kajari melons, onions, peppers, some other beans but I forgot what all I put out there. The jajari melons.were awesome last year. This year my green house is under attach from white Flys! Hopefully I can get rid of them soon. Shalom brother❤
Cherokee purples, red damsels, grape tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, cutting cucumbers,okra, sweet peppers, raspberries, and blueberries
Joker knew it and Leonard acknowledged. FMJ, one of my favorite flicks. Pick all those critters, and they go to my chooks. Great and timely vid.
They aren't even spiders. lol Love those daddy long legs. I didn't know that about them and aphids, but we also have a lot of lady beetles. So the aphids show up and then a week later the LB show up.
Heck yeah!
More camp food!
Cherokee purple tomato's are my daughters & I #1 favorite. Not many even make it 2 the kitchen 😂
New to your channel, love it. Daddy long legs are a gardeners friend !! great info, heavy water your garden every 2-3 days depending on how hot it is. Yes keep the lower branches on tomato plants snipped off. Great info to give out, keep up the work.
And snakes are afraid of yellow cars! (If your Dad drives a yellow car and needs to water a cactus on a road trip and needs you to stay in the car.)
I'd have to email you a list of what I'm growing. I will say that I am growing the same tomatoes you are and those Cherokee Purple are hands down the best preforming of all the ones I've trialed.
I love Brandywine , Amish paste, pink fang (paste) & black strawberry ( cherry ). I use to have 7 or 8 varieties & I decided to keep it simple this year.
Lol growing a wide range of diversity this year. 4 types of cherry, 4 or 5 slicers including Cherokee purple, and 3 types of Roma. Don't plant when you're hungry😁
i usually start cutting from my tomatoes about now to plant out later when the inground ones start to suffer.
Never heard they were dangerous lol. I used to carry them around and play with them. We don’t have many where we live now.
Really like the celebrity. It's a hybrid determinate by very versatile here in Indiana. It's nothing to have 20 or more on one Vine.
Cherokee Purple is one of my favorite.
They are harvestmen. They do great. I have many harvestmen here(daddylonglegs). They are great to have on yoyr property. Fun to watch them at night up here on the mountain I live. Thanks Zach for informing.
Kale, swish chard, spinach, broccoli etc all dark greens.
Zack, I had a fungus or mold on my cucumbers. Did some research and found milk was the answer. It really worked!
I live north of you by the Joplin area!
Thank you for this video ❤ ive got alot of tomatoes this year and needed to know how to keep them from getting the yellow leaves on the bottom . Im growing siberca , beefsteak and Roma tomatoes this year . Ive tied up the beefsteaks to firing strips and the rest are in cages i will be trimming the bottoms today Thanks again ❤
Tomatos? Amish paste and San Marco’s.
Anyone else having issues with hot peppers this year? Jalapeño, habanero, cayenne all never germinated or died as tiny seedlings. On our 3rd try now. Cali wonder bell peppers are fine.
I can’t get spaghetti squash or carrots to grow here either. Queen Ann’s lace absolutely everywhere though
Great video. Cherokee purple is our fav tomato. I grow it and Amish paste every year with success. My family always grew other well known favorites but this is ours. I experiment with a couple new ones each year for fun. Not much luck with mortgage lifter,ozark traveler , big boy, enter boy and all the traditional ones Missouri Love tomato was pretty but small and not a lot of production. Thanks for sharing
Picked 5 tornado 😅 baby horn worms off 1 plant today. I have 11 plants to go!
I grow basil in my kitchen window all year and put pots of it in between my tomato plants. Keeps the worms away. You can start with 1 basil plant and keep trimming off the top 2 or 3 inches and root in water and replant.

Thank you
I grow low acid varieties which my locals are recommending because of a health issue but I need a good paste tomato.
Thank you for the information 🙏🏼 😊
Thanks for the tips !!
Central Florida and I stick with the everglades tomato year round brother that and large cherries late summer are the only ones I seem to be able to sustain
Growing some cherry, Cherokee purple, mortgage lifters, beef steaks & a few paste tomatoes.
I'm growing heirloom beefsteak and Cherokee Purple also, I live in North Central Texas.
Would you happen to know about watermelon and cantaloupe as well? I will now water my tomatoes every other day or 2 and I’ve cleared all the hanging leaves. 👍 Thank you for the advice.
Growing a cluster type cherry tomato-doing awesome. My Jet setter-Thought I grabbed a Jet star-is struggle-ing. A mini sweet roasting pepper and a California Wonder Bell pepper. Started off rough, but their both now green and lush-but still small. All of them have been fertilized and getting ready to do a "Milk Bath" on them. In Southern Iowa, so there is still time. Fingers crossed. I have troubles with peppers, but usually not tomatoes.
Looks great. I’ve used milk for powdery mildew. Works fab!
Do you dilute?
Holy crap…lemme tell you what I’m growing…potatoes…like 500lbs….because well, didn’t plan the garden out with our moving to a bigger homestead
Do you use Diatamacious Earth on your plants or does anyone out there? I sprinkle a food grade DE on most of mine. It helps a bit•
Lol...my husband says I feed my cats too much....they're fairly useless as hunters....😅
He's right! 😂
Once grew a habanero pepper plant. Observed that "something" was eating the flesh of some of them. I thought, "What in the world is eating these hot things?" Guess who?? The tomato hornworm! The seeds were left behind. 🤔 They like eggplant, peppers and tomatoes, that I know of. Yes, they will decimate your garden, along with the 20+ other crawling/flying pests that do the same thing.
I trim mine to 8" from the ground to prevent blight.
Do you have a tip for strawberries?? I always say I can grow anything from bananas to peanuts but I can't grow strawberries!! I've got a whole raised bed full and a basket, lots of leaves, no fruit! And with 2 toddler boys eating strawberries daily it would be nice. Haha
I like brandy wine better than Cherokee purple.. Also.. Daddy long legs is not a spider
5:30 @anamericanhomestead
Tell me more about the milk ?? Could I use it for blossom end rot on tomato plants as a foliar spray?? Toda!!
Found it/// You Grow Girl uses it on her rooftop tomato plants. She mixes it 50/50 with water to hydrate the plants. And dilutes it even further for a foliar spray.
She has had great success so I'm giving it a try. Thanks for mentioning it Zach!!
Hey hey!!
Zach, would you be so kind as to share a link for your landscape fabric? The kind we got keeps shrinking in the sun and pulling up the landscape staples. Very frustrating.
What am I doing wrong as my blooms are just dropping. They are covered with shade cloth. Right before the Texas hot weather hit. I had strong transplants that were really healthy. I may have ten tomatoes (slicers) from about fifty plants.
Beef steak tomato... I didnt see cherokee purple this yr.. need some seeds..
Artificial wind will help strengthen roots too
This is off topic but people need to know. The reason for the shut down of water to the farmers in Idaho is so they can use the water for the cobalt minds in Idaho. They are suppose to start drilling for cobalt the 24th of this month. Why do they want cobalt you ask, it is for the batteries used in cars. Now what is more important to us, farmers or cars? We all need to make calls and put a stop to this nonsense.
I did not know cobalt mines existed in Idaho.
Zach ,off the wall question,is that a Casio G-Shock watch you wear ?
Try Florida you don't heat first time grower not doing to well green beans did well and got some peas before it got real hot
Cassie says the movie is Nanny McPhee Returns
.....but I see other movie titles lol in comments
Nope
Have you ever tried companion, planting basil and dill with your tomato plants?
Basil will bring in aphids
Not sure why, all my tomatoes except the Cherokee purple took off.. the Cherokee purple has a constant wilted look
I have a problem with flea beetles and little worms eating my swiss chard. Any suggestions on treatment. I try killing the beetles by hand. but I dont get them all. Eating my egg plants.
Hey Zach I'm in Gateway Arkansas where is that Mennonite store?
Thanks
Do you dilute the milk?
'Daddy long legs' aren't spiders. Just saying.
I grow about 20 indeterminate san marzano tomato plants each year just to can sauce. There is no equal to san marzano spaghetti sauce.
Did 11:49 a bucket garden this year. Not one thing has come up. Not sure why?
Bought the seeds from y’all, Clearwater 😜
I've had excellent germination from Clearwater. Near 100%
@@Anamericanhomestead definitely believe you. I think I went wrong somewhere. When I started my pepper, onions and tomatoes….. I don’t think they got warm enough. I planted the seeds in TP tubes… I thought, huh easy enough. However, I didn’t have a heating pad? Yeah, learning as I go here
Got spice mix 2 and 3 but I didn't see spice mix 1 lol
Hi Zac, if your tomato leaves have been eaten by Deer, will they usually recover. Working on making the fence taller. Thanks.
Deer usually leave my toms alone. They will usually go after my Okra and bean plants.
I put pots of basil next to my tomato plants. This year I tried the early girl and it's great if you like a sweeter tomato. Also cherry tomatoes. I don't care for the smell of the Cherokee purple but they're good in sauces and soups.
Tomatoes have been a challenge this year. Not in the growing, but in the fruiting. Plants are 6-7 feet tall, and barely any fruit.....
QUESTION...about 2 years ago, I put compost on my garden. Unbeknownst to me it was not done breaking down. I did let it set over the winter because I got started too late. Last spring, I planted tomatoes. They lasted about 2 days before they died. My neighbors daughter is into agriculture told me the nitrogen and it killed the plants. This year, I planted tomatoes again but even now, they are only about a foot tall and are starting to fruit. How can I get the nitrogen down for tomatoes????
I highly doubt that the nitrogen levels from that 2 year old compost are effecting your plants. I suspect its something else. I would try picking up a bottle of fish fertilizer to mix with your watering and watering your toms in with that and see if the growth doesn't pick up. Its also possible that you have some GRAZON mixed in with that fertilizer and it can take 3 years for that to go away. ALWAYS be sure to ask if the fertilizer came from animals that are fed hay that was treated with GRAZON. Around here that is not a problem. But in other places, Grazon is used by farmers growing hay.
9:06 maybe it’s FOMO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your like the government with your garden i😂😂😂😂
My top performers here in Central Texas this year are Florida 91 and Juliet tomatoes, Minnesota Midget cantaloupes, Shishito peppers and National Pickling cucumbers. All of these have powered through the heat and humidity so far.
7:03 they are??????
I thought they were one of the few friendly spiders 😜
I got ' celebrity' tomatoes last year, and they did Super. This year I have Cherokee purple, Early Girl, a cherry tomato variety and San Marzano. We also have sweet potatoes, red and russet variety potatoes, onions(red and Texas sweet), gatlic, herbs of various kinds, elderberry(first year), blackberries, strawberries, lettuce, beans, sunflowers, and some other stuff.
This Is my first year to experience.".blossom end rot"- it sucks. Have harvested 2x off of our peach trees already. God is good.
Hornworms stripped my tomatoes in one day
Oh no, if you lived near me I would give you a bunch to replace them….I always start more than I have room for ☺️ I’m in northern Minnesota
I was in the garden one morning. When I came in the house my tomatoes looked fine. I went out late one day and I was stripped clean. I got busy. Found three on one plant. I waited until dark went out with a black light and found them all. Needless to say my chickens ate well the next morning. They were fat and happy on my hard-work. They are so ugly.
Please don't tell people in the hot desert not to water every day. Unless you live in 9% humidity and 120° F, you have no concept of how plants are thirsty and desperately need water. You can kill your tomato plant in one day if you do not water it in our heat. In Vegas, there is a well-known tomato expert who waters her tomatoes five times a day for a few minutes each time, otherwise, they die and or fail to produce any fruits. There are real challenges to growing in the desert that someone living in 15% humidity and a cool spell of 100° will never understand.
Oh, we all forgot, Southern Nevada is the tomato growing capital of the world! Lol!
@@kujoevony3160 Uh-oh, the cats out of the bag now! Lol!
