I always start out with everything labeled and then I never know once I start planting them out, your not alone.
So proud of you, Rachel! You've done a stellar job with your seed starting! The plants are gorgeous! Bravo! 🌱👑💗
It does feel good to step back and say 'I grew that!' ☺️ -My tomatoes also ended up very tall this year, our last frost was a few weeks late so they were stuck in little pots indoors, but it didn't seem to bother them, they're very forgiving (thankfully!)
So happy to know I'm not the only one who is planting surprise tomatoes this year!!
Ive always called them "Wonder tomatoes" as in you wonder which ones you've got! Lol
I used to work in a big greenhouse nursery and we often put tomatoes and peppers on clearance called wonder plants as people took the tags out and no one had a clue what you'd end up with. At 50% they almost always sold.
@@Emeraldwitch30 Lol! When we find an unknown plant that's popped up where we hadn't planted anything, we call it a "Damn if I know"! Too funny. 😆😂
I have surprise tomatoes, peppers, and peas this year! I'm not worried, they'll all be good, whatever they are.
Todd’s giggle is so cute!!
Hi Rachel and Todd. That spiral tool you used to drill the holes looked really good. Rachel, you can pay yourself on the shoulder. You accomplished the art of planting your tomatoes. God Bless the garden. May it grow and give you tomatoes. God has Blessed you and Todd. Stay safe. Maria.💁🖐️💁🖐️🙅☕️🙅☕️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I have a tray of surprise tomatoes. My grandson, age two, was helping me and removed the tags because the were dirty. We washed them and put them back but who knows what is what. He is my little gardener His favorites are the peas and string beans and those tags are in his bucket so again no idea. At least the bush beans and pole beans were planted in different places before the tags were collected to be washed! Carrots will be another surprise. I love it. You can't take your eyes off him for a minute, just like my daughter.
I finally got my garden all planted. I started all my tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant by seed, and then transplanted. Everything else was direct seed. It's a little late here in Fort Worth, but just like every place else we've had crazy weather. It's supposed to rain all week, so hopefully that will help. I really enjoy watching your channel. I'm an old fat woman, so if I have success with gardening, then I can prove anyone can do it.
Your not fat, your fluffy! I'm fluffy too, hubby says "who wants to hug a board".
Isn't it so rewarding to start your own seedlings and see the magic happen!!! You should be PROUD Rachel 😍
Nice work Todd 🤩
I knew you could do it. It’s so rewarding to see those babies get in the real dirt. Can’t wait for harvest.
My tomato plants are very tall too. That’s the tool to have! Gotta get me one.
When you got to the gate with the tomatoes , all I could think was "DON'T DROP THEM ! 😜🤣❤ I've started mine from seed , only 2 inch itty bitties still , calling for snow and -4 C tonight so all the plants have been brought in for a slumber party in the house 😜 thanks be for container gardening lol
I usually break up the roots a little when I plant them. That's just how my mother taught me. You did great
You have done a great job Rachel and thank you Todd for digging the holes. I'm sure that was a big help. Those auger things are great for planting bulbs as well. Y'all have a Blessed day and Happy Gardening.
Yay tomatoes are here! And now comes the Summer in all her glory! 🍅
I started my own tomatoes by seed this year too. There’s such a sense of accomplishment watching those tiny seeds grow into something big enough to put in the ground.
You have to stop showing me these wonderful things!! I had to go buy a set too.
❤️ My life is changed! 🥰
See, I knew you could do it. So proud of you girl. Can't wait to see them progress even further.
When your done do you look at your garden and smile like a proud plant mom?
Don't we all? If not, it's probably time to start a new hobby. 😆
How handy is that auger!!!? I got my tomatoes all mixed up last year, LOL.I tag every pot now.
That auger is fantastc! Great job on the seedlings
The first year I started my tomatoes and peppers from seed I felt so accomplished! Congratulations on the accomplishment!
Congratulations Rachel, those tomatoes look fantastic, all of your hard work has paid off beautifully 😃
It is the BEST feeling growing from seed isn’t it? The only thing that tops it is harvesting, drying and storing even more seed from your own homegrown produce!
Dear Todd and Rachel, If I were a tomato plant, there is no other place I’d rather be, but in your garden. Thanks for introducing us to your new augur for making holes. Great tool! When you use it again, show us a different application. Your tomato plants look great, the more so because you grew them from seed. You may even save some of your own seed for next year. Thanks for telling us how you hardened them off, a tedious, but, nonetheless, important process. Now I look forward to seeing your garden grow. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis, Canada.
I know the feeling of that first year from seed. Last year was my first year. Congratulations! Keep track of the harvest you get in pounds it will blow your mind!!!
Good job starting your own seeds this year.
Try mr. stripes next year or if you see one at a nursery. Totally special tomatoes, large red, yellow, orange fruits 2lbs, with very little gel and seeds. Magical!
May you be blessed with an avalanche of wonderfully tasty tomatoes.
Rachael I am so proud of you! You inspired me and I also started all my tomatoes this year from seed! It’s like watching my children grow just makes you happy! What a wonderful spring adventure🌱
😀same here. every year I try to label the plants so I know the different varieties, but allways end up with a lot of plants without a name😃🙋♀️
Ooooo, wondered how the auger worked in real life. Nice. 12 tomatoes hit my doorstep today, so that's what I'll be doing tomorrow.
Great video!! Tomorrow I will plant 75 tomato plants! 🙏😍
now isn't that a great feeling that you grew those you know where they came from
Omg! Buying an auger to plant in my clay soil garden is the best 👌 tool I've ever bought!
My luck was working this year too! You encouraged me and I planted out 25, gave 6 to my neighbor, and took 11 to my daughter. (We plant out her garden on Mother’s Day week - mine is two weeks before.). This is also my first year starting most of my plants. Thank you for sharing your learning experiences!
I graduated my mini greenhouse the deck and the next day the wind blew it over and broke probably half of what I grew.... so I supported our local greenhouse again this year but , only for half of it
I use the auger drill too, so easy. You DID IT! And so did I! Started all my tomatoes and peppers, eggplant, zucchini, tomatillo, by SEED! Yay! Congrats to us!
Yes congrats!!!
You have outdone yourself girl!! Your land always makes my heart smile.❤❤
My tomato plants are huge.. I had to up pot them into gallon and a half pots. I still can't plant them outside as we have 30 degree nights coming this week even tho we've been in the 80s.
I knew you were good people. But when i saw your two dachshunds that sealed the deal. I love, love, love dachshunds .
Lol
This was my first year of growing anything from seed successfully as well! The day I put my tomatoes in the ground was one of the greatest days LOL What a great feeling of accomplishment! I planted 30 too, great minds must think alike :) I planted Saturday and we did have an overcast day here in Wisconsin, I think it helped me a ton as I am full sun here.
Congrats hun on such an awesome job starting your tomatoes from seed. What an great success! I'm so proud of you. What a neat thing that mini auger is. Your tomatoes look amazing Rachel. And the new trellis is so nice, makes everything so uniform. I'm praying for a super harvest for you. I just adore the garden videos.
I am SO proud of you!! I knew you could do it! and now you know, too!
Your tomato plants look amazing! 😍 Cant wait to watch them grow and produce delicious food for you!
Look at you, Rachel! Way to go!
Rachel me too I thought I had all mine labelled but one tray lost their labels & my husband re-labelled for me thinking they were all the same AAAHHH NOOOOO!! but hey I love surprises. You will also walk down the garden & find amazing surprises- great Job planting. Cheers Denise- Australia
Slick ! Tool . Those baby's look awesome ,I had mammoth plants go out. I see on my weather app 5 days of cloudy and ended up with days of full sun . Time for a new weather app .
Or a new weatherman! They lie all the time!
@@gabbygertie8709 😆😂👌
I feel like we were going on this journey together, because it's my first time growing from seeds also. I will be putting everything in raised beds, hopefully by this weekend.
Congratulations ...YOU DID IT!!!
Congratulations you did it!! Can't wait to see them ripen and see what's where!! Excellent job
How exciting!! Congrats!! I started tomatoes, bell peppers and basil from seed for the first time, too! I'm SO looking forward to getting them planted in our little garden! 🍅
I also started my seeds for the first time. So proud of you and happy for all the new knowledge you have acquired! Woot!
Rachel, in right there with you , I first time grew our tomatoes from seeds also. It is a great feeling. The only things I didn’t grow from seed this year is the Asparagus and my elderberry bushes. It was so much fun and rewarding knowing we didn’t spend a fortune on plants.🌱
Cat wait to see the growth in your garden!
I knew you could do it. I have used a post hole digger in the past and that auger looks like much more fun.
Thank you for the shout out
I lost track last year of my peppers so I now mark each pot. That is a great tool.
You and me both Rachel; it was my first year starting my plants too. I definitely have garden envy though. Must show the hubby your fence!!
The plants look great! Thank you for taking the time to share your journey.
I bought an auger this year, absolutely love it! Does a great job with a nice sized hole, mixes in compost etc.
Beautiful plants! I'm in MI also. They used to put clay pipes in the ground where the gutter downspouts could drain into them and take the water away from foundation. I've dug them up also and some remain.
Wow that is definitely a lot of tomato plants I hope you get lots of yummy tomatoes off of all of them
Yay ! Cheering you on from Montana ❤🍅
Awesome! Love the auger!
You are going to love using that auger. I like using a corded drill. I find the cordless run dry to quickly. I also put my tomatoes in the solo cups when I transplant. That way you just drop the round tomatoes transplant into the round auger whole. It’s the best way I have found to plant your garden. Super fast. Loving your channel. I stopped by for the canning tips and stayed for the channel.
I got myself a planting auger for my drill last season and absolutely LOVE it! So much easier for planting tomatoes and peppers! My tomatoes last year got really tall like yours. This year I didn't even start them until April 15th and they are already big enough to plant within the next week! I harden my plants off on my covered patio. It gets maybe a couple of hours a day sun when it's low in the sky but I've found about 5 days of that I can go ahead and plant them out.
Yayyyy you did it!! They look beautiful!!!
Try a post hole digger instead of the auger. That way u can stay standing the whole time. Seriously a game changer. You can also use it to mix in any amendments in the whole without squatting.
Woo hoo awesome girl
Congratulations!!! What a wonderful accomplishment!
Started my first tomatoes and peppers this year, too and same here...forgot to label along the way😂. I’m a little further along than you down here in Alabama. Mine are already flowering and I already have some cherries coming along! So exciting! Yay for us!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
What an exceptional accomplishment with your seed starting. You influenced me to start onions and peppers from seed. Was never successful in the past but this year I have planted out 100 onions and 45 peppers. Yahoo
That's awesome
Woohoo!! Those tomatoes look great!
I'm a few days behind watching your videos. I've been busy in the garden as well. I am just so impressed with your home grown tomato plants. You did such a great job and you look so HAPPY!! Your soil looks so amazing. Ours is very clayey and I can't find gypsum anywhere. Can't wait to watch your tomatoes grow.
I bought an auger last year for planting the garden... actually it does work to make the hole wider...u just need to move it around in the hole, leaning side to side.... you'll get the hang of it....I basically never dig a hole at all anymore....saves my hands! I used to always get a blister in the palm of my hand from repeated digging.
Great job Rachel , I did too planted my own tomatoes this year🤗looking forward for the harvest. Happy gardening😁 and good luck with everything 👍🏼
That is so great! Congratulations on your seed starting success!!
Congratulations Rachel! Well done ♡ I don't know which variety is which of mine either, ha, ha, ha...it will be fun to discover when they fruit. That drill auger is a nifty tool.
So proud of you for doing this!
Well done! We can grow tomatoes like weeds in Sydney but we have fruit fly so it is a war to keep them from being stung and infected with maggots
Good job both of you. We bought the auger on amazon as soon as we saw it. We just spent all weekend planting out garden and that would have come in so handy.
You can actually make a trench & lay the tomatoe plant down & just keep the top above ground, you end end w/ 2 to 3 extra plants that will come up in yhe trench. I think this works good if you are on a strict budget. I did it years ago when I first started gardening, my Dad taught me alot, he also told me to use lime in your 1st garden, I don't remember why but I did it & my garden was awsome.
My husband and I were just talking about the augger. Guess they sell attachments for a drill. I've seen pretty good sized ones for larger bushes too.
so much fun! Happy gardening!
It’s going to be beautiful 🥰
Your seedlings look very healthy 😊
Congrats! I never had a doubt
I started our seed the same time as you did. Planted mine outside on Sat and Sun. Now aren’t we just doing a great job. Mine are early girls independents beef steak, celebrations, san marsanos and alpolka for paste our choice for the cherry tomatoes were two juliets and one cherry bush. Planted all our other things last week and my peppers today! Now we are getting rain. God is good!
Oh, I forgot to mention...I noticed the end of your cattle panel row had sharp pointy edges. You can use those Styrofoam pool noodles to cover those sharp edges. We use the pre cut ones you can buy to cover outside water pipes to keep them from freezing during winter. Cut the points as short as you can. Then you can cover the points as well as the vertical metal edge of the panel which helps hold onto the foam.
So satisfying to watch! I love it 💚
One of my favorite gardening days of the year! Your tomatoes look great. Hopefully an early harvest.
Love it, my husband bought one for me..
Your facelift on the garden 🪴 is lovely 🥰
Congratulations!!!
You did an awesome job! So happy to see this and you definitely taught me a few things! My tomatoes were like trees too lol I buried them trench style in my containers. Happy growing!
I bought an auger this year too, love it! I had to make a few holes bigger too, but still so helpful. Great job on growing your tomatoes 🍅 this is just my 3rd year of starting my own and my first year was a bust! I still have much to learn.
Thanks you my friend
Yay Rachel! You’re awesome! You had more success than most, even much more seasoned gardeners. My tomato plants are really tall too. I still haven’t decided if I’m going to plant a garden this year, but you really motivate me in that direction!
That's awesome..my peppers did great from seed my tomatoes I think a bug got to them they looked great for a long time
I bought the augers in a long and shorter version. It was advertised as being used at Disney World planting bulbs, and that was too many years ago. I've used it stirring up paint and mixing concrete. Great tool to have. Makes for easier job.
Ha! I knew it was an auger. I think I bought the same set. Great job!
Not sure if someone has already commented, but when using the auger go down straight first and then go down half way again on an angle doing this all the way around I believe this will help make the whole wider. I also watch UA-cam channel "Garden Answer", they use an auger and I believe that's what they do. :) My first time planting tomatoes from seed as well. I'm still in the scary stage of will it succeed or not? Your video is encouraging! Thank you! :)
