[@roberthofmann8403]

I usually go into winter with a few tomato plants. They can grow fast, so I continually clip and propagate. One plant can become dozens by the time it's time to transplant outdoors. It works well for me.

[@BrassyBrunette]

What a great tip!

I have been watching your food forest grow for several years now (including the episodes before that.) I just noticed your subscriber count today. I want to say thank you for not changing your cannel or content like some of the other youtubers have. You have not tried to sell or advertise things that you don't use and you haven't started telling us about the new 10 acre property that you bought. THANK YOU. I watch your channel to see how this food forest is coming along. It is relatable to what many of us are trying to do. Again Thank you.

[@johnlord8337]

Best way for any tomatoes, peppers, and chilis (all solanides) - is strip their leaves off - forcing dormancy, cutting back the major branches, and cover completely (DARK !) and keep in a cool and dark root cellar or storage area. You already have them growing, and don't need to regrow from seed and save all that starting growing time. Put the plants back out in the Spring, and uncover allowing them to get sunlight, and they will re-leaf and have greater growing options.

[@danacraig220]

Yes! I pruned most of my tomatoes down to a stump the last 2 weeks. I expect them to make new green shoots in March or April depending on the weather. I use Regalia to stop diseases. Unfortunately, the holiday crop was eaten by mice in 2023. I had to pick the small green ones that were left in January due to heavy rain which would split the fruit. Rodent control is a big problem for me, partially due to bad compost management. socal coastal.

[@kellysardella928]

​@danacraig220 a cat has been great addition to my garden

[@johnlord8337]

@@kellysardella928 well chicken scratches and s**t and cat holes and cat s**t does have a few redeeming values. But then having ducks in the garden eating up all the bugs - leaving the plants (greenery alone) - while keeping the grass/greenery-eating geese out of the garden, and the chickens which destroy the majority of compost and other features of the garden are less so. Maybe the cat is a mouser and a go-pher, and a shrew-er, and a (ground and tree) squirrel-er and a (ground and tre) chipmunk-er, ... and then a cat in the garden, vineyard, and orchard will be a great asset - and leave the snakes alone to do their own bugs and critter patrolling.

[@ninemoonplanet]

This year's weather has been unpredictable at best. I don't count on the calendar for starting plants, I am cautious and will gauge my starting time by the sunlight and mean temperature. What we used to call "normal" isn't any more.

[@dustyflats3832]

Thank you! First person I’ve heard exactly what I’ve been thinking and experiencing. This weather is really out of whack and it’s changing how we do things. Last spring was too hot and they say 3+ degrees warmer this spring. Hope the late freeze this year doesn’t kill more fruit because it advanced too much from the heat again.

[@shapiemau2244]

And this why i have started some crops early.

[@karenpigage2818]

Yes . The soil temperature is key . I messed up last spring and didn't wait for warmer temps. The seeds didn't germinate. Time to plan for a small green house or a cold frame.

[@shapiemau2244]

@@karenpigage2818 I have built mine over this winter period. I have most of my seeds germinate and have put my broad beans into the field already. Onions, tomatoes, gem squash, butternut squash all germinating. I am however covering the seed trays with fleece.

Hi Brian, I’ve been growing tomatoes since I was about 19 or 20 in my apartment. There is a space that I asked my manager and he let me put tomatoes. But anyway, my parents always had a garden and I tried your Kellogg’s breakfast tomatoes last year and I love them. There’s also one called Virginia suites that I really liked and I did try your red solo cup idea and I love it.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

[@leeroy8079]

Please a video on Tobacco.. Been trying to grow them in southern californa and struggling.. Thank You

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

I surface sow mine, cover them with a single layer of tissue paper, and mist it on. I've found tobacco does better in high nitrogen soil right from the start, similar to foxgloves. You can use a plastic spoon to thin them and plant them out. I've also had better luck growing flowering tobacco than rustic tobacco, though that's probably because the rustic tobacco seeds were sourced from a very different climate from my own.

Remember that at the end of the warm season last year your peppers were bending over a lot from the huge peppers you grew. Perhaps its a good idea to plan on using some support for your container peppers and eggplants.
