So far my tomatoes are thriving. Lots of blooms and 2 tiny tomatoes on the Terra Cotta plant. Started all from seed back in February. Put in the ground about 3 weeks ago. Never have my plants taken off so fast.
I'm growing some Terra Cotta and mine have fruit set already too.

I like to hill my tomato plants a couple of times, adding extra fertilizer right before hilling. I think it works great for a lot of plants!
Your passion for gardening shows through and every video I've been gardening for over 30 years and we have a lot of the same techniques I only have a small garden now but I'll learn stuff from you every time I watch the videos Keep up the good work
Glad I found this channel. Laughing my tail off before 8am up here in Athens. Don’t need no rookie buckets.
Here in eastern NC, I have sandy soil. I will plant my tomato plants after they’ve gotten at least 12” tall and I’ll dig my hole deep enough that only the top is sticking out of the ground, that way when it gets dry the roots always stay moist and since the deep soil moisture doesn’t fluctuate, I never have an issue with blossom end rot.
I’m gonna try hilling my plants this year! I’m getting ready to plant them out in the garden next week here in zone 6! I always do the Florida Weave on them too! Thanks for all you do to provide content for us! I learn so much!
I was suggested this channel by one of my subscribers. So glad to see more channels from Georgia. Look forward to more videos
Welcome aboard!
I’m still 1 1/2 week from being to transplant tomatoes to the garden. Mother’s Day is the safe day.
I'm in Atlanta Mike and never plant before May 1. If the nights aren't at least 70 the plants just waste time sitting in the cold soil. Good luck with your harvest in 2024.
You do a great job on sharing your gardening knowledge!! Very much appreciated 👍
Thanks!
Great video Trav! And I love your sense of humor ❤ I did plant my tomatoes halfway to Korea but I’m still gonna try this cuz Travis told me to!! 🙌🏼
I agree about the size of transplants not mattering very much. To expand plantings I've taken cuttings from tomatoes, stuck 'em right in the ground, and pretty soon even they catch and grow full size. If the soil is warm enough and the nights aren't getting below 50F or so, go ahead and get them in the ground.
The trouble with transplants comes when people put them in cool soil with cool nights. They don't really ever make their potential if they get chilled when they're young. Peppers are even more sensitive about that.
So humorous. Love this and you!
This is a great site! Thanks
Good stuff. My tomatoes are looking great too.
Thanks for another informative video
Got my cucumber seeds today, thanks for the sticker!
My maters are looking great and already blooming. I've got determinate and indeterminate growing. Determinate in raised beds and indeterminate in ground. Using something similar to your setup last yr for the indeterminate maters.
I started doing this a few years ago, I saved my one gallon milk jugs, cut about an inch and a half hole in the bottom, put the jugs between the tomatoes, and feed through the jugs, little trouble, but seems like the maters sure like it, and hilling does help.
Love that tater and mater talk! Keep it coming! Go Dawgs!
Our season just began and I just got the tomatoes in. I always hill with some compost too. We'll do that in a bit once they settle in good and start taking to the garden. Had a little shock but they are popping back up happy as a clam now.
I'm in SW Florida and definitely want to try some of the determinant types you recommend next season!
Thanks dear one.
Another great video Travis! I watch your channel all the time and have gotten great tips for us zone 8Bers! Some of my tomatoes are starting to flower here on the zone 8B coastal NC/SC border. I'd like to see you do a series for the gardener that doesn't have a lot of space, say a 20'x25' garden. How much can you fit into it perhaps using square foot gardening techniques. I might have to get me a Tarheels or Wolfpack bucket...LOL! Thank you!
Great video always love watching. I’m a fairly new gardener last year. I used stake for my tomato plants, not sure if I want to do that again this year is the Florida weave method harder to do seems like last year. I was tying up my plants all the time.
Go Dawgs!
I like the Agrothrive 3-3-5. I bought 2 gal from you this year. It's an EXCELENT seedling fertilizer. Using it now with great success. I may give them Alaska 5-1-1 after we get the plants established, pre-bloom. Then back to Agrothrive.
The mounding is a little odd, since we are being told to remove the bottom leaves so we don't get dirt splashed up into the plant leaves for blight.
You really need that ROLL TIDE bucket!!! RTR
Dang Straight. A dogs bucket may grow good tomatoes, but a Roll Tide bucket will send them over the top. LOL
He aint ready for that BAMA bucket yet give him a couple yrs 😂
I have a new Dawgs bucket but it is a 5⭐️ so I think it’ll do just fine.
Why can't they come up with a spray for internet gardening experts?
Thanks Travis. Going to try this as soon as it drys up. On another subject, what time of day do you water your raised beds? I have several with tomatoes and peppers and wondering when I should set the timer.
😁gotta well seasoned Gators bucket..prob give it a go.. just don't want way to many maters,have to send u some..much love Trav...from Indian River County Fl.. don't forget bout the Fl Weave yall
I am curious if you still use the Hoss Products still? I notice in your older videos you used them quite a bit. Awesome channel and I have learned alot from watching.
Agree one hundred percent. I always hill my tomatoes.
I’ve got 2 rows of 9 each, San Marzano’s…. I’ll go hill up half of ‘em.. bout to check this out.
Good info Travis. Thanks. Here in Oklahoma, I think I have decided against using string for a trellis and instead using rigid stakes, because with all the wind we have here, the flex in the string back and forth will allow too much travel. It has really been windy this year.
Depends on what kind of string you use. I don't like cotton string for that reason. I use the poly twine that the commercial guys use because it doesn't stretch. The only downside is that you have to remove it because it's not biodegradable.
@@LazyDogFarmI like to buy 10’ half inch galvanized electrical conduit and then cut off 2’ and mash the end that goes in the ground. I buy nylon craft loops and cut them and use them as ties. They are soft and cushiony and work extremely well.
I've been subscribed for about 2 years love everything you do I do have one small critique I think it's scientifically proven that the fertilizer works better if you use a slightly faded Auburn bucket
I've hilled for years but I did it this year and my plants choked out. I only had time to do one row and planned to come back later for the next row but never got to it. I've never had it happen before and not sure why
How's the purple Galaxy tomatoes coming along? Wanted to watch what u did with them before I messed around with them
On that first tomato transplant, my grandpa taught me 65 years ago to bury a LOT more of the stem, not just the root ball, when transplanting. Which you accomplish with hilling I guess. It always worked for me all these years anyway. Oh, and I always use a Tigers bucket with a War Eagle on the other side. Works MUCH better.
Go Dawgs bucket!
I started hilling last year after your video. Oh yeah,makes a big difference
Hey Travis; I recently had a terrible experience growing tomato seedlings. I had started two varities (Red Snapper and the Hossanator) from seed. I purchased tow 75 cell Jiffy trays and thats how I began. The first two weeks all was well with about 95% germination. I was growing them inside my home on the north side in front of a sliding glass doors. The plants got very long and stringy and fell over. The peat pods were always too wet or too dry. Hard to regulate moisture. Here in NC the temps have been in the low 80 and mostly sunny fr the last week. My fatal mistake is when I placed them out in direct sunlight thinking maybe they would stand back up, however, they just dehydrated to the point of dying.
Make some videos of the proper way to successfully grow transplants from seed.
I like to use what we call the Oklahoma twist Go SOONERS!
😂 I listened to another UA-camr talk about corn last year and I had to sit there while he explained everything before he got to the demonstration. For the life of me I could not figure out what he was talking about. I thought he was going to do something using his feet. I am very familiar with hillling but don't pronounce it the same way in the Midwest
do you add lime in the raised beds. I just set up a raised bed with compost peat moss and some perlite
I've never added lime to mine.
Hey Trav😊
Do you ever put 13-0-0 on your maters, I just did ,hope it don't kill them ??
You know I've wondered if tomatoes are competitive like corn? I had a similar situation my romas were super small I put them in by my ace 55 and now they're getting massive.
Would mulching your tomatoes extend their lifespan, or does the heat in Georgia make it irrelevant whether they’re mulched or not?
I've tried mulching them. Doesn't seem to matter much. Variety selection is most important. Some can hang, others cannot.
The last Dawgs bucket won't do so well 😁
Any ideas on methods Not depending on product not available sooner than later. I have rabbits n make fertilizer compost, tea w leaves,grass etc. its free n Organic.
Can you use straw to hill mater plants
You could. But straw has no nutrients. That would kind of defeat the point.
I have been saying it for years. Those plants will catch up to the other bigger ones
Mine are growing through a hole in landscape fabric,all my garden is growing on landscape fabric,what soil born diseases, what weeding, no hilling though. 🤪
Off topic. Question about growing onions. My onion tops have fallen over. Will the bulb get bigger while the greens continue to die off or are they done growing? This is my first time growing onions from seed. Thanks for your help.
They're done. Go ahead and pull them.
@@LazyDogFarm Thanks not a good crop this year due to health issues. (I fractured my vertebrae). I'll do better next year 🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅
Sorry to hear that, hope you are healed real soon. Anything is better than nothing. Great job! Take care!
@@ForGoodnesSake Thanks for the well wishes. When you are older healing takes longer, I'm getting better. Take care🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I always plant my tomatoes deep, at least 6 to 8" deep
But but but Travis I never trim my tomato leaves before I hill. Never have never will. I have never had a problem.
I am hardening my tomatoes by putting them in shade all day for 4 days. Do you have any other advice?
I'd slowly add more sun hours each day.
How often do you water? Mine usually do great , and then the blossom end rot kicks in?
Every other day assuming no rainfall.
How much water per watering
Thanks
did I see Cherokee Carbon? Its one of my best performers.
After hilling that dude already grew 2 or 3 more leaves 😂😂😂
So far my tomatoes are HUGE AS HELL BUT FEW TOMATOES...NOW IT ALREADY TOO HOT FOR THEM TO SET...OH WELL..MAYBE I GOT ABOUT 29 TOMATOES OFF A 50 FOOT ROWaa
I'm curious if anyone has any ideas why this works? I know the advantageous roots provide structure but not much in the way of uptaking nutrients, but maybe down south there it cools the plant a bit and it's appreciated?
Assuming your soil is fertile, it gives the plant more opportunity to feed.
@@LazyDogFarm hmm okay. I just watched a video the other day talking about how roots formed above the root ball do very little in the way of nutrient absorption, but if the results speak for themselves, there's gotta be something like that happening somehow..
I’ll be putting my tomatoes in the ground after this rain spell can’t wait
i carry around a rag that is moist with whichever sterilizing solution you prefer, and give the snips/secateurs a quick wipe after cutting each plant. i find this more convenient than carrying a container of sterilizing solution. started doing this finally, especially as the plants mature and need to do more and bigger cuts, and disease pressure gets up. my newfound general regular fungicide that can be applied regularly without ill effect--as it's a nutrient in non-burning form and cant overdose--is potassium bicarbonate as a spray. i've seen many people use bi-carb soda and dilute bleach as a spray fungicide, but these things are not very safe on plants and soil. bleach is fine as a secateur sterilizer.
I checked your website, was looking for a safe insecticide, didn't see one listed...
Most of my stuff is in raised beds, and their eating everything....
We'll have one posted on there within the next week or two. Waiting on a shipment.
There are things you can plant to help with that. Chives, oregano, garlic, marigolds, etc. That is one way to not spray chemicals.
Replace with a Ruby Dawn.Get you some electroculture antennas out it will make them go crazy.
I have experienced rudimentary fruit on my potato plants also. It’s because I planted tomato’s too near the potatoes. Tomatoes and potatoes can cross pollinate. If that happens, the potato plant may produce small cherry like tomatoes. If the conditions are good, those “potato/tomatoes” can actually turned red. They didn’t taste very appealing though. But it’s fun to show your friends that you have a potato plant that gives you both potatoes and tomatoes.😂
You can buy a plant with a potato root and a tomato top that will do exactly that. My experience with them is the potatoes are small and few and the tomatoes are the same. Nice novelty plant but it is worthless for production.
As a side note you can graft tomatoes to you potatoes all by yourself. I have and the results were no better.
Tomacco.
What do you mean? The differ between determinate and indeterminate plants? I always deep my tomatoes deep for a strong tomatoe plant. Just curious? RTR 😎
Determinates don't need to be planted that deep and shouldn't be pruned -- otherwise you might miss some of that bottom production.
Halfway to Korea. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A Sooners bucket would work even better
Dog bucket..😂😂😂
I don't know about that Dawgs bucket. I'll send you a War Eagle bucket.
Get outta here with that bucket!
