Thank you for your support!
I love these collaborations, and I especially love Eli’s new facial and her shirt choice takes the cake😂. I can’t wait to see the results! Thanks Gardener Scott and In the Garden with Eli and Kate for another informative and entertaining video!
I'm keeping that beard!!!!
Thanks gardener Scott. Just set out my mators yesterday. Starts from my green house already covered with aphids. Gotta love it.
Been growing tomatoes in raised beds as well. Easier to manage the soil condition since Colorado soil is not the best. 😅 Greetings from Parker, CO!
Great collaboration between Eli and Scott. Looking forward to all of the updates.
you know there will be lots 😉
I'm with you two here just north of Reno, NV. Short growing season and my toms just went in last week. Hoping with the long cool spring this year we will get an equally long, warm fall. High desert, 5400'.
I truly enjoy the collaboration. Informative and entertaining. ❤
So much fun to see how you and Eli and Kate are planting your tomatoes! Love the collaboration you two are doing.
You guys work great together! Love following along with you! Such a great feeling to finally plant your tomatoes! I have quite a few varieties and can't wait to taste them all! Blessings Gardener Scott and Eli and Kate!
😍 glad you enjoyed it
A little bit of fun and a whole heap of gardening
It’s all getting a bit exciting Scott. We have our first Tony Krim tomato. It just appeared today on that first plant. Can’t wait to taste it and see if it measures up.
I suspect your plants will catch up fast once your heat kicks in.
Tony Krim? Depending on the results of the transatlantic taste test Krim may have to be in my fall tomato collection. The race is on!!!
I think she meant tiny Krim.
@@GardenerScott TY! I thought I had missed something in the series. I was going to search later after my garden work was done. LOL
My tomatoes are just about done. Hitting high 90s next week. Time to cut my crop and start okra. Zone 9a Texas. Blessings!
Eli - i think for florida weave, you are supposed to weave the twine in and out between the plants - so the twine goes in front of one plant and then behind the next plant, and then in front of the next plant and so forth. Then when you wrap it around the end post, you weave it back the opposite way between the plants. So each plant is individually supported by the criss-crossing twine. Hope that's clear.
I live in York, UK a little south of Eli. I generally only plant determinate varieties outside and have been planting these over the last 3 weeks. Nighttime temperatures have dipped to 6 or 7 degrees some nights, but the tomatoes have survived this. I tend to grow colder temperature plants such as Glacier, Siberia and Oregon Cherry. Insteadd of Black from Tula I grow the determinate Black Sea Man from Ukraine. I see Scott was also showing his support for Ukraine in this video!
Yay!! Tomato planting day 🎉 I put mine in the ground a month ago here in SC. Such an exciting day ❤ I LOVE home grown tomatoes
Am loving this series! It’s so funny 😂❤
Our tomatoes go in the ground Sat. That is when most nighttime temps are above 50. We have raised about 50 plants by winter sowing and grow light. The stems are the healthiest they have ever been due to a small growlight from Amazon. Hope the growing season is good this year. A home grown tomato sounds so good! Good luck everyone for a great growing season!
Love the collab. Great to see different options and decision making. Thank you both!
Good time tomato planting. Got my tomatoes planted on Tuesday here in Michigan zone 5 b. Was a good day!
Good method thank for share I love that
Excellent video, I just love when you collaborate with Eli and Kate. We have some tomatoes that we set out early in the wall o' water helpers and they are doing great. The others not so much. Fortunately I started a lot of tomatoes. TFS 🍅🍅👍
LOVE the video! I'm guilty of putting my trellis in afterwards.
That was a fun collaboration.
I love this companion style video! I would love to see you collaborate with other gardener youtubers. Peppergeek, Chillichump, the millennial gardener!
I like that idea. Thanks!
Good day Scott and Eli. I’ve got a suggestion for you for the outdoor tomatoes. Surely it would be a good idea to use one example of a tomato that you know will grow locally. Don’t know what will work for Scott but Eli could try a Scottish variety such as Ailsa Craig which has a shorter growing season. I don’t have a greenhouse but this season I’m trying, Ailsa Craig (main crop), Black Russian (beefsteak), Yellow Pear and Ukrainian purple tomato. I’ve not grown some of these so we will see how we get on. Good luck. 😊
That's a really good thought Ian. 👍
I like that idea, Ian. Thank you!
Nice back and forth with Eli and Kate.
My tomatoes have shot up like rocket ships since Memorial day planting. There is something to a perennial cover crop.
Stay Well Gardener Scott !!!
I’m enjoying seeing the comparison in climates. I moved from Dubai to rural NE Scotland at 800ft above sea level 3 years ago and have only taken up gardening recently. I miss the heat but I’m enjoying being able to grow fruit and veg now as it was just too hot in Dubai to have much success.
That’s quite a difference in climates, hats off to you for adjusting to that
@@eliandkate I’m not sure I have 😂😂😂
@@SuzMcDonaldWellbeing 🤪
I don’t feel so bad now, getting my tomatoes in this late, but we’ve had an unusual amount of rain and cool weather here in Colorado! Good luck to everyone wherever you live!
PS Never plant Sungold next to super sweet 100, since it’s impossible to differentiate between a not yet ripe Sungold and a ripe super sweet 100
I stopped removing the lower leaves and branches because in my garden it creates an open wound for infection. Two years ago I lost several tomatoes to damping off right after planting them this way. Since then I just bury the lower leaves and branches, and the plant will shed them anyway as time goes by.
Did you ever do a video comparing the results on how deep to plant tomato plants? If so, can you share the link?
Here's the video I did on testing depth: ua-cam.com/video/1sZR4fsCpYc/v-deo.html
Thank you for the video G.S. Have you ever considered doing a garden tour video? Just an idea. I've had an interesting gardening year thus far. We've had an uncharacteristically long rainy season this year and it has affected my gardening. My 100 day onions have been in the ground almost five months. I've harvested two. The rest haven't even bulbed up yet. Every plant in the world has volunteered. I didn't plant any squash in my 3 sisters garden. 2 different squash varieties are growing. I planted a tomatoes in one bed. 3 more tomato plants are growing in my 3 sisters garden- where I have never planted them. My winter artichoke plants have never bulbed up but they are loving the rain and cooler temperatures. My rainbow chard- which always bolts in early May- has been lapping up the extra water, less sun, and greater humidity. My garlic, planted last Sept. still hasn't browned out or bulbed up for harvest.
Because I'm so late in planting because of the weather, a tour video is delayed. I'd like to do one in the weeks ahead.
Thanks for the video! I’m not sure if you have a reason for not doing this… But you might want to consider initially burying your tomatoes deeper in you’re planting hole. Remove all lower branches, leaving only the top 3 to 4 leaf sets, with the lowest branch/set being about 2-4 inches above the soil line. Once the plant gains height, then continue to pinch off your lower branches, bringing the lowest branch up about 8-12 inches above the soil line. This will keep your tomato leaves free from any soil splashing up during watering. The top of your plant will regain its height and growth very quickly. You will not lose any time on harvesting tomatoes. You will gain a stronger, healthier plant with a better root system that is more stable. It also helps with the strength/sturdiness of your tomato plant in general. Your plant will be able to take up more nutrients and water, as it forms new roots all along the stem of the tomato plant buried in the ground. We have tried both ways of planting tomatoes during many seasons, studying the results. We have found truth in this method. The deeply buried plants have produced more abundant fruit with a stronger, healthier plant; better able to fight off diseases.
We enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Best of luck! 🍅🌿🍅
Thanks, Parker. I have other videos that show deeper planting, but last year I tried doing it more shallow and had earlier fruiting so I'm trying that again this year. I also show pruning off the lower branches in other videos and using mulch to reduce splashing.
😂😂😂😂😂 another great video
My tomatoes do soooo much better in the greenhouse than outside
Eli, you didn't "weave" your Florida. Should be string to the front of one and to the back of the next......so on.......so on. Looking great tho.
She realized that after sending me the footage and discusses how to do it right in one of her recent videos.
Thanks Bob. I didn’t catch it for a couple of days but managed to correct it without too much drama.
I think I was just too excited at getting the tomatoes in the ground 😂
Sorry that was instead of Black Krim, I am growing Black Sea Man.
🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
