Another great video thank you! I am on a tight budget so bought some square fabric storage totes from the dollar tree I am going to try. I worry about the dye as they are colored, but the grow bags are colored with black ink as well. So tough to get away from toxins. Wish me luck and really love this channel!
I haven't had issue with the black grow bags. I have washed them many times and have not noticed any dye or color change in the water. Thank you for your comment and wishing you best of luck. Happy growing!
Love it!

Muy exelente video
Thank you so much! muchas gracias.
Спасибо за хорошее видео.
Thank you so much for the comment! Спасибо!
Thank you for all of the wonderful videos! Quick question...do you prune the suckers on the tomato plants? Thanks in advance
Good thing about determinate tomatoes such as this variety is that they do not need to be pruned. To my experience, if you prune them, the plant will be stunned and won't grow to its best bushy size. More side shoots, more fruits you will get. Hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!
Can you grow okra please I like it too much .👍💯💐

Do you have any issues with splitting on your bigger tomatoes in grow bag? I struggle with it, our growing season is quite hot and wondered if bags are drying out to quickly or I am just watering too much. Trying sub irrigation to minimize the problem.
Yes, I've experienced splitting on large tomatoes too. It happens if there is inconsistency in watering, a dry period and then too much water. And grow bags are more prone to that. If by sub irrigation you mean bottom watering, I won't suggest that. Free drainage will benefit plants more. If you can't keep them consistently moist, I'd suggest to add a bit of Water Storing Crystals amzn.to/3rwkOWF (but not too much) to the soil at the time of planting. This will help with keeping soil moist when too hot. These crystals DO store water really good, so just make sure you don't overwater plants. Hope this helps and thank you for getting in touch!
Hello from Ventura County Z9b. Do you use grow lights or a heat pad when starting your tomato seeds?
Hello👋 I am in 9b too and don't use heat mat nor grow lights. Since zone 9b don't have frosts, you can start and keep your seed trays inside (at 60-75F). As soon as they sprout, move them outside to 4-6 hours of early morning sun (use a beach umbrella or shade cloth if too sunny). If night temperature drops below 50F (10C), you can bring them inside at nights. Otherwise they can stand cool temperatures. Hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!
@@TowardGarden Yes, it’s very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼
I love your videos! I have some growing in buckets inside (Iowa) that started from rotting tomatoes, and they are 4’ tall - but they aren’t putting out any flowers. They are under grow lights. Is there anything I should do? Thank you!
It is hard to tell without seeing them. I am guessing either the soil doesn't contain phosphorous, or most probably it is the light issue. If they are 4ft tall and no flower, it means the light is not enough and they seek more light by growing taller. I don't usually use grow lights but I know that you will need a lot of them for a tomato plant. So, if it is the food, try to feed them with a liquid fertilizer high in phosphorous. For organic liquid fertilizers, Dr. Earth Root Zone (0-2-2) or Bud & Bloom booster (1-2-1) are great choices. For non-organic liquid fertilizers, you can get Liquinox 0-10-10 Bloom fertilizer. But if the issue is the light, you need to provide more lights (a small green house outside works way better than keeping them under grow lights).Hope this helps and thank you for your comment!
@@TowardGarden thank you so much!! I really appreciate your help!
@@ajlived6034 Glad to be of any help. Happy gardening!
Hey! Where do you put the seedling tray in the initial days? Under direct sun or in a shaded area?
I have a shed like room in my backyard where I keep my seed trays until the seedlings sprout. As soon as they pop out, I move them outside in indirect sunlight (under a patio umbrella), or 3-4 hours of direct early morning sunlight. I hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
Thank you mentioning the size of pot needed
Glad it was helpful. Thank you very much for your comment!
I want to grow lavender, would you like to make a video about it? the video is very inspiring, salute for your patience
I will definitely try to post a video on growing lavender. Thank you so much for your interest and comment!
Oh gosh thank you
Thanks for the video. But how do I differentiate determinate from the indeterminate seeds when purchasing?
The seed packet should include if it is determinate or indeterminate. You can also look it online for a specific variety. Determinate varieties are normally bushy type. Thanks.
Gave you thumbs up
But didn't see instructions for fertilizer after true leaves which is very important and can cause blossom end rote.....
But very good expect for the fertilizer.
Thanks for teaching and wishing the instructions were larger....
You may find the information for fertilizers in the video at 7:03 and 7:13 and for the fertilizer in the potting mix at 3:19. To make it simple you can use any tomato fertilizer in the market. I hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!
How long are the wood stakes you use to stabilize the plants?
They are 3ft long. Thank you for visiting!
Do you soak the seeds in water before planting them? I saw this tip online.
I usually don't soak seeds. And definitely not for tomato seeds, I have never soaked tomato seeds. Thanks for visiting.
Do you have a link to order those black bags that you are using for gardening
You can find several brands of these grow bags on amazon. As long as they are heavy duty thickened nonwoven type they all should work. thanks for visiting.
Do you make your own compost or do you use commercial compost?
I do both. I make my own compost, but usually need more to make my soil mix. I also get my compost from our city compost center, or use bagged organic garden soil as compost. All of them do the job with same great results. Thanks for visiting.
@@TowardGarden thanks for the info!
What do you use for pests?
For pests I try to monitor and control as soon as I see signs of any pest presence . If needed, I usually use neem oil mix as pesticide. For leaf miners and caterpillars, you can use either B.T. or Spinosad (Monterey Garden Insect Spray). I hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
I tried to grow these on my NYC fire escspe....Everything was looking great until black mold got ahold of it😢....Giving it another shot!
Try organic fungicides such as copper fungicide. Hope you have a better results this time. thank you for your comment!
Do you think 12 inch pot will work for this variety of tomato?
Sure, 12 inch is a great size for this tomato. Thanks for visiting.
How often did you water the seeds to become seedlings?
I water my seedlings about every other day. You just need to keep seed mix moist, but not soggy. Thanks for visiting.
My tomatoes are being eaten by green caterpillars, I've been picking them off by hand but they keep coming back, do you know any ways that I can get rid of them permanently? One of my tomatoes also has some yellowing leaves even though I've been watering them thoroughly, do you know how I can help them?
Most probably these are Tomato Hornworms. If picking them is not enough, two of most effective and organic pesticides you can use are B.T. or (Bacillus Thuringiensis) and Spinosad. B.T. is a naturally occurring bacteria and one of the most common pest control to kill caterpillars. It can be applied as a liquid or powder and you can find several varieties certified as organic. It is hard to comment for the yellow leaves without seeing them, but maybe it is fungal disease like Tomato blight. Again it is hard to tell. I hope this helps and thanks or visiting.
@@TowardGarden That's great, thank you!!! I'll pick up the BT ASAP. Thank you so much!
where do you buy your seeds?
I get my seeds from different sources: online, local garden centers, collect my own... . I got seeds for this particular tomato online from Whillhite seed. Thanks for getting in touch.
Can you grow okra please I like it too much .👍💯💐
