Happy Gardening! - Навчання та стиль
I used T post and an elastic string that I purchased so it would give with the wind and I tied it extremely tight. My plants are very strong and tall. I also pruned everything from the ground up to a foot then then did some extra purning including some larger stems and my tomatoes are loaded. The heavy pruning has helped tremendously in my opinion.
I love gardening, I honestly cannot think of a more peaceful, productive hobby..good stuff
Pretty ladies showing us old guys how to do things is just priceless. Good video. Thanks.
This was the most educational video I have ever watched on tomato care. Thanks for the great tips!
This is an EXCELLENT video on caring for tomato plants. Thank you very much. Very helpful.
That was a really good use of 9 minutes on the subject. I got a lot of important information and a good reason to follow up with your varieties. Thanks.
Love the DMB #41 intro. Also, very good video on pruning and growing tomatoes.
Thank you.
You did a fine job of explaining how to have a successful summer garden. :)
You have done a very good job with this garden I have looked at a number of your videos, and I think you have the right idea. I am a relatively new gardener I know very little I simply do what my gut tells me. Some people look at my videos and simply laugh. But as I stated earlier I am a new gardener and I'm just learning. Keep up the great work and I will keep checking out your videos.
thank you for taking the time to share your tips and secrets with us! I appreciate you! :) Peace
thank you. this woman sounds like she knows a lot about growing tomatoes. will refer back to this when i get around to growing them.
I thought it was called a "hot field" because you were in it. Seriously, great video and extremely informative - thank you.
Nice Vid! I like this simple staking technique and will try it out tomorrow. Well done!
Best looking gardener I've seen!
I found your video very informative. I am in the process of staking
my plants just as you have shown. Cages were a disaster in the past. I also liked your explanation of late blight and the various methods to combat it like leaf picking, choosing disease resistant plants or using a copper fungicide if it was needed. Anyway your presentation was very well done and informative, thanks.
Good Morning from Auckland, New Zealand its Thursday, December 2, 2021.
You can stick the larger suckers into good quality soil and often they will produce a new plant.
Will that work if the bigger suckers be planted as cuttings?
@@zarsvirus7321 I either break off the sucker, slice it off, or use clippers. (Slicing with a sharp knife/razor is probably the best method)
Then ideally I plant it somewhat horizontally so that the cut end is maybe three inches (7.62 cm) deep with just a little bit of top with leaves sticking out of the ground. If the sucker is long enough this can result in a few inches of horizontal stem about 3 inches deep with the leafy end curving up towards and breaking through the surface.
As tomato plants can grow roots anywhere a stem touches the ground, this maximizes root growth. If doing this would result in some leaves being buried, I pluck those leaves off.
Water the transplant well to make sure that the dirt settles around the cut end and make sure it gets good watering over the next few weeks.
@@gewgulkansuhckitt9086 thank you

Great picture of what appears to me to be grand dad and grand son at the beginning of this video!
And thanks for the information too :)
Outstanding video,Now I realize I do not need a stake for each plant.I will use 2x4x8 on both sides of my planting box and use the twine.Thank You,Frank
Frank, I found the same thing useful in this video. As it's spring here in Melbourne Australia and I've just planted four tomatoes in a square raised bed I'm just going to put a stake at each corner and use the tie method.
Great job explaining ! Great gardening !
she is the best looking gardener I have seen in a long time I think her accent is from Canada ! Not Irish .
I like the subtle DMB intro. Nice video
Thank you very much for the vid! I have been gardening for years (I use the same landscaping fabric) and my tomato plants have been so big & unruly in the round cages- too thick to even see some of the fruit! This year we are trying vertical gardening with cucumbers & zucchini and your video helped me TREMENDOUSLY with what to do with our plants! (I never knew about 'suckers' on plants. We are saving some space so we are going to try adding some new veggies to grow. Cheers!
she knows what she talking about, good video, sweet lady, hard to find a lady that works like that, respect her
Plus she's cute too! ;)
Is she married?
Lol no it isnt, weird comment
Absolutely beautiful! great info thanks!
thanks for the video! great staking method. will use for my garden this year
Great information and video,a "A true tomato Afficinado",like me,thanks for posting.
Thank you so much much! This is one of the better videos on pruning and using the "Florida weave". Not sure why you've
attracted so many trolls but keep on doing y'alls thing.
Live at Luther College is my most played cd's (2 disc).. ever.. #41 is one of his greatest songs.. ty
Thanks for a very interesting vid! I have always caged but am keen to expand my horizons and this seems dead easy.
a lot of great information. keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the detailed explanation on staking tomatoes.
Thank you so much your video was very useful, I will be able to pass this onto my daughter. We are big tomato fans. My favorite part was about using the stake at the end for tieing off where the string can be adjusted for high winds if need be, what a great tip.
Thank you for sharing your tips and ideas. Very informative video. 👍😍
It's only my opinion (and some observation), I live in south east PA (just north of Philly.) the suckers on my plants provide as much fruit as the rest of the plant, and also help shade the plant and fruit from too much sun,,,, I never prune the suckers. Thank you for a wonderful video, very informative and fun to watch,,,, thanks again.
If all gardeners were that beautifull gardening would spread like fire on canon powder.
Realy nice presentation and helpful.
Thank you for the informative video. I've tried string trellises but found through my own devices that I prefer the vertical method. I also use fencing wire for the top and bottom lines. Holds the stakes together well and doesn't flex as I'm tying in the vertical twine. Keep up the good work and ignore the trolls.
That's the first Canadian woman I've seen!! kudos to her man
Really nice. Loved and Subbed
Thanks. Much easier than traditional staking!
Great teaching video! Thanks!
I like watching you working
Nice gardening tips
Thank you for the excellent information.
Hey Vesey, new subber here! thanks for the good info on the maters!
Very helpful video, thanks!
Thanks for the tip regarding the "suckers".

I enjoyed this video a lot. I am a Tomato grower, but not to the capacity , or size of the farm that you have/ I grow them in 5 gallon buckets with a 3 type soil ratio. Miracle Grow Garden soil, top soil, and cow manure. The blight kills me around late July. I never knew about treating them until I saw this video. I think I need to separate them more, and give them some air to breathe. Also being that they're in buckets, and I am away for 3-5 hours, the morning saturation watering seems to be all depleted(on Hot days) when I return in the afternoon.I know this stresses the plants, and can also cause disease, and introduce sickness to them. Love your style of staking, and supporting them/ I wish I had a large farm like yours. Thanks
Nice presentation, thanks for sharing :)
Excellent presentation...thank you.
wonderful presentation, its so helpful
first gardening vid ive seen that uses a mic.it was worth using it! sounds great & the info is helpfull thank you for sharing!
This is my first year trying to grow anything. I have over 30 determinate plants ready for my raised bed. I have been researching the best method to stake them and I think this method is called the Florida Weave and it seems to be the easiest and cheapest way to stake my maters. I have built 3 raised beds 3 x 8'. I will put 7-8 tomatoes in the western 8' sides of each bed. I will tie all 7 or 8 together as you did. I'll also plant pole and bush beans in the beds. May fill a baby pool with drainage holes with potting soil and plant bush watermelon and birdhouse squash. Excellent, informative video. thank you. will subscribe.....
How are your tomatoes growing Regina? I would have suggested that planting tomatoes at one foot intervals is too close. I plant my tomatoes three feet apart. But part of the fun in gardening is learning as you go. I am 75 and still learning.
thank you so much for this beautiful tip
Helpful information. Thank you.
good pruning technique. thanks you
Thanks for your time to demonstrate in detail the purpose and reasoning. Good infornation. Thanks for sharing with us less skilled gardeners. :) bookmarked this video so I can review again and share with those that have same problems as I do.. Thanks. To me this plan practically eliminates wire cages other than special plants. Always have said two heads better than one and sometime a third head just seals the target for us inexperienced growers. I like it.
I have some 16' length cattle panels just catching dust. Would like to put them to work in the tomato garden as I feel they have a lot to offer, but no experience at this :/ Wished we'd found you last year.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing..
love that staking.
I built about twelve eight foot long by four foot high stick terraces last year.
But I think I'm going with this system now.
easier to maneuver new growth around
But now that I think about it.
I live in a windy area and I'd walk outside one day and would find all my plants cut off from the plants blowing around and rubbing against the string and thus sawing them off.
Good idea for a calm place though.
very good video to show my students. Thank u.
nice, I'll have to give t a try. thanks for posting.
thanks for sharing your knowledge
Great method for staking tomatoes. Looks like less trauma to the plant. Thanks for a great video
Really interesting. Thanks very much. Mark
Great video. thanks
I just planted three tomato plants in three different containers, after watching your video I'm considering lining the three planters up a line then installing a short post on each end of the containers then running the strands of line.
I've tried many brands of seed in my area, but for the past 5 years or so the best I've found is the Jellybean Cherry Tomato. It's a Hybrid, it's very tasty, good Hum! Hum! and it's disease resistant.
thanks again.
Great video thanks for the info.
Well, I got some tomatoes, it's not easy in Central Florida. I love this video I still refer back to it all the time, So much info here.
I've never seen twine or string used in staking tomatoes, except tying off to one stake per plant. Great time saving idea! My whole garden is GMO free and heirloom seed stock, so I hope it all does well.
Very nice. Thank you.
I'm a newbie gardener, just getting my feet wet really. And this is a really helpful video!
One suggestion: Please help fight the plague of uptalk. When you end a statement with a rise in the tone of your voice it transforms your statement into a question or at least gives an air of uncertainty to your demeanor.
"And you just cut the string? And then, tie it as tight as you can? To your anchor?"
"Plants will produce a good crop withing a two week period?" etc, et al.
Having finished my nag, I get to give you the 4,077th thumbs up for this video. :-)
smart451cab . I agree, but I thought it was cute. Her speech pattern was so predictable I found myself waiting for that uptone at the end, and I loved it.
Yeah, she's a sweetie.
no g on within. since you are being picky and all.
I need to watch again very nice
Thanks for the tips👍
Hi Heidi,I bought Plum regal, Mountain Magic and Defiant off you last fall for this year. So far they are looking great very healthy.I am looking forward to the final results. I like to make brochette and can my whole Tomatoes. I also bought some Opalkas which are rumored to be the best paste tomatoes going. I hope your season goes well. I am at war these past 6 or so days with thousands of pesky European earwigs. My nematodes must be on strike. Thanks for your great advise,and seeds!
I like your video, you have a very nice operation there. I especially like the black
plastic you have for weed control.
Way cool! So informative I am looking forward to a good harvest.
I've had a terrible time keeping my plants and stems off the ground.
I pruned them to grow upward this year, and I've still been plagued with Septoria Leaf Spot, even to the point where I've reluctantly had to use a fungicide on them.
I'll consider this methodology for next year.
Thank you for sharing here!
thanks for this video,some good tips
j'adore vos commentaires j'apprend beaucoup pour la saison prochaine,Bravo pierre roy

Thanks for the information
Nice Maters!!!
I inspired your pruning technique nice describe fungicides application
Thank You. Very Nice.
Very informative, Thx
Pruning bottom leaves to about a foot above the soil line removes the damp and dirty leaves, contenders for blight, that usually face us after a rain.
didn't realise that have lots of rain in the uk . thanks
Lovely video
very nice info
very thorough!
Very nice video
