guidance and if one of your blogs comes up, I go right to it. Thanks Gary.
I’ve been gardening for many years but I do trust what you say. Shout out from the north suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.
Thanks so much. Cheers. There are many ways to raise a garden. This works for me but is not the 100% must do.

I moved to a state that doesn't have them...and I miss them, believe it or not.
Never lived where cicadas lived and I’m very glad of that!. Always lived in the desert, crickets and coyotes!
Your such a laid back, go with the flow gardener like me. I so appreciate that. What kind of fertilizer do you use for your side dressing?

When and how do you do side dressing when they are in fabric pots?
If I remember correctly, he added some when he mixed the soil for the pots. I did not have any slow release fertilizer at the time so I’m just going to sprinkle some on top of the grass clippings after they get a little bigger.
Hi Gary , your plants look good, I also side dress with compost or fresh worm compost casting as well , glad I started raising worms and rabbits best thing for a garden.
Nice on the rabbits.

Thanks Gary! Good to know I can stop the water soluble fertilizer when they are bigger, but what about the water soluble fertilizers that are lower in nitrogen? I guess when they are bigger it’s not needed as much thanks again! I’ll stick to granular which will be so much easier to apply to all my plants
Really only used them if they plants look like they need it. At the late July mark, I am really letting them use up what is left. Granular is good now.

Does this apply to determinate and indeterminate varieties? If not would you be making a 2 minutes tip for determinate? Thanks again for all you do. Loving the book so far.
They don't get beyond thigh high usually so you can still do this on a smaller scale. Ill put it on my list. Feed them when they have fruit forming. Good question.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I’ve been told to pull the flowers off so it can force the plant to grow instead of focusing it’s energy on fruiting and then when it’s larger you let them start fruiting. Is this correct, would love to see an explanation of this in a two minute video. Thanks for the reply Gary.
I thought you always have to remove the mulch for side dressing fertilizer and cover it back. Also that is what I read in book and garden literature.
Might be on the type and amount of mulch. 2 inches of chipped hardwood is different that a quarter inch of dried grass. But I would say rain will wash it down so I am not sure why they say that.

What do you do when your tomatoes have blossom end rot. Thanks
Maintain consistent moisture. That helps prevent it. I sell calcium nitrate. I use that at times for calcium post or you can put lime in the soil. But key is watering evenly and consistently

Hey Gary for some reason there’s some weird yellowing on my pepper plants. Can I send you a picture of the plant?
can i broadcast fertilizer as you show if i am using preforated stick landscape fabric as mulch?
Hello again..the temperature here in Vegas is rising and reaching to almost 105 degree Fahrenheit, so I decided to buy sun block mesh and cover my raised beds. I am growing tomatoes,cucumber,okra,bush beans,sweet corn all in raised beds.
So my question is will the sunblock mesh reduce or effect the growth of the plants?
I am growing tomatoes and peppers in my greenhouse with shade cloth on top. It gets up hotter than 105 in there sometimes and they are all growing fine. I think it’s a good idea to shade them in that hot of a climate. Just my two cents.
Thank you.
It shouldn't. Enough sun should get through. The shade cloth is needed as the soil will heat up and plants stop producing. I think you are good. There are different blockages you can buy like 30% to 70% so you might have to experiment.

What would you do if your plants were under plastic mesh mulch?
Hi Gary. I enjoy sharing your videos with one of my gardening groups. This year because of SNOVID-21 here in Austin, Tx, The only thing I got planted early was a Better Boy tomato. But traveling allowed the tomato to get totally out of control. It outgrow the oversized cage I had for it and now is sprawling all over the small bed I have it in. I’m wondering if I should go ahead a feed it since it’s been in the ground for about 12 weeks.
Thanks so much. I would feed it. And often a sprawling tomato roots all over the place and you get a massive productive plant.

Side dress(?) when the roots a many feet away when planted in a traditional row drop garden.
6 inches from stem of most plants. The surface roots are there. Rain dilutes and washes it around. But this is how I do it for tomatoes. That whole beds is filled with surface roots... or will be.

In side dressing or top dressing, if you scatter the fertilizer on top of mulch, does it need to be scratched in? Or will the nutrients reach the plant is on top?
You can scratch it in. Rain will wash it down technically over time. Its a slow release fertilizer on a side dress.

Great video and I try to catch all of them - I even just bought your book. So it sounds as if you only side dress 1 time, maybe a 2nd time 6-8 weeks later. I know you add some dry fertilizer when you plant the tomato, but how much and how often to you give them water soluble fertilizer? Thanks.
So that is where there are a 1000 roads. The water soluble will be tomorrowish but its just a guideline. Ill do a longer video on fertilizing at some point. And thanks for the book support.

What about calcium to address blossom end rot?
Usually your soil has in ground. So the key is even watering. But you can toss some lime on there. I use firewood ash. I know the calcium is there.

Hi Gary, I was hoping you could share some advice about frost damage on tomatoes. We've had some frost which is unusual for this time of year and my tomato leaves have black tips. I first thought it was a phosphate deficiency but now I think it's just frost damage. Do you expect that they will recover or should I just replant?
They will be fine. Give them a big drink of fish emulsion and let them go. A video on yellow tomato leaves is in the video description or I cards of this video. The were weakened by cold and I show what I did.

Clinton S. Try using Google lens, maybe? 🤷
I've been waiting for ever to plant my tomato's , peppers , and squash last year I planted them in April / may this year I planted them in June but weather was 99° f during day 60° f a night and now there's 4 days of random 52° f at night 🤬 how long would have to wait they would die inside
Ik tomato's can survive to 33° f but lower than 55°f hurts fruit production which I can't afford . But it's gonna happen anyway how am I supposed to cover all them .
All the praying mantis hatched but no cicadas yet also
52 at night is fine. They should go in the ground.

I have tomatoes growing when it was raining here I was using dry fertilizer and since it’s nice and sunny in Texas I am using liquid! Is it wrong!!
No worry, it is not wrong. Typically the weather doesnt play a role in a dry/wet fertilizer regiment.
Dry fertilizer is usually a "slow release" fertilizer, that can take weeks, months, and even sometimes years to break down in the soil, and become nutrients that are available to your plants' roots.
Not needed, but Always good, to water in dry amendments thoroughly after applying.
Wet fertilizers on the other hand, are generically "fast-release" fertilizers, and can be absorbed much more speedily by the roots. Wet fertilizers can be applied just before a good rainfall, if you wish, bot it's not necessary, as you usually mix in wet fertilizer (liquid, water soluble, fast release) with water and drench in everything good with both food and drink simultaneously. I hope this helps!
If you plant your tomatoes in weed fabric. Can you still side dress the way you shown?
Yeah... it will eventually was down with rain

Blossom end rot. Look that up on my channel. Due to inconsistent water and or a lack of calcium in the soil.

What is the best thing to use under your tomato plants for mulching them? I have a half bale of straw left over from last year, can I lay straw under all my tomato plants?
I use fall leaves. Maple and Ash trees. Don’t use Oak leaves. Save the leaves and use them come spring/ summer.
Great timing on this video! Was just wondering about the best way to side dress, the past few days.
Am concerned about... green lush plants that I've got coming on, but not seeing a ton of blossoms yet. (Too much nitrogen?)
Considering side-dressing this eve... with Shultz Tomato Food (water-soluble, 17-18-28) to promote blossoms & fruit now.
Have any recommendations on this, Gary?
It can be too much nitrogen but the flowers do show up. I use fish emulsion a 5-1-1 soluble and Any organic around a 5-5-5. Yours is really high. That 17 nitrogen will grow leaves. I might say your plants have enough and just let them go for a few weeks.

Is this not just top dressing?
Whats the difference between side dressing and top dressing?
Side Dress is what you do for the plants like in the video. Top Dress technically is amending the whole soil area with 2-3 inches of compost. Your Top Dressing the bed with good stuff. But yes it works too feed the plants like a side dressing.

So top dressing is only when you use compost? You say both top and side dress in the video?
So if I just put an amendment or fertilizer in the soil it's a side dressing? Or is just if you spread it on the top of the soil and not into the soil??
What is a side dressing ....????
Putting fertilizer or compost to the side of vegetable plants

The cicadas holy crap they are loud
not very helpful since you fail to describe what's actually in your "side dressing." what nutrients do "thigh high" tomatoe plants need? Sorry but, need more info.
At 2:27 or so he describes the N-P-K he uses.
love the videos but i have 1 thing to say... I myself completely understand how a tomato plant grows.
others may not...
maybe include WHY u wanna use a high potassium and mid range phosphorus later in the growth stage...
i love ur videos but find they are getting quite boring cause they dont explain stuff. its just a do this now type of deal... i am no means trying to cause "drama". feedback is feedback.
for example;
potassium: once pollinated helps fruit develop + fruit size..
phosphorus: starts buds/root growth/converts the nuits into growth
nitrogen: promotes green growth....
the real science is what im after. not no do this now because you should...
Well... this year its shorter videos. And I understand. Keep in mind I have covered it over the years and most people don't look back at what I have done. If you look up Nitrogen, Phosphorous etc... there are some extensive videos. Ill cover it again. Thanks.
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN And for me, I liked that you are simplifying it. I don't need to know all that. You had explained in other videos. I love this, simple and efficient short format. Thank you Gary. 🥰💕🌷🤷
And I myself, just appreciate the fact that you pour out a ton of videos spreading your wealth of knowledge to anyone who wants to be educated or just entertained by a like minded interest. Not to mention the level of humbleness to respond to comments at this stage of popularity. Especially to ones like yours that have the audacity to tell a pitcher how to throw a fastball from up in the nosebleed section. Take your search for “the real science” down the road Bill Nye…
@@Comeandtakeit1 I couldn't have said that better 💚👏👏👏
I hear cicadas
So many
