Complete Guide to Growing Fall Tomatoes

[@hobbygardenforhealth6973]

I'm in Oh and planted a few tomatoe plants last week. I was afraid I might be too late. Thank you for the info.

[@wherami]

Not too late. I am in Columbus and always growing tomatoes into mid oct till we get that crazy ice and frost end of October

[@rg-mi5hh]

As ours get big enough, we plant them. We still have about 200 pepper plants on porch growing. 🤭

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

I went nuts and just planted a whole row last week and then another this week since I lost a lot in a mini flood 😅🌧️💦💧🌊🌀🌿🌱🍂🍁😱😭 So I only had several very slow growing tomato plants which are hardy, just very slowly hanging out... Lol So i crowded these cardboard gardening areas with a bunch of stuff all mixed up, carrots, beans, peas, various melons and pumpkin, beets and a bunch of other stuff.. Hey!! Who needs mulch when you have seeds?! Lol 😂... Sigh, oh boy I hope I don't regret this! 😂 I just couldn't go on this summer without my garden and stuff other than just tomato plants. On a more spiritual note, I'm making it my place to heal from losing my son and my place of worship to be close to God thru everything. I'm in your state so I'm really pulling for your tomatoes! Hard to find others close to me to get advice and stuff. I'm banking on an Indian summer, especially since we're in a grand solar minimum cycle so the weather could be all over the map! I'm going to consult my farmers almanac to see if they considered the grand solar minimum cycle and stuff this year. Consider in 1913 ish it hit 70° plus during the first half of November! So if you think about it, we could grow almost anything still with the little risk come Oct etc. But if we cover stuff, it will buy us at least ten degrees though sun hours will still be a lot less so idk... It's a risk but hey why not! I'm not wasting any risky expensive or exotic stuff, but if I have enough seeds, I would consider one or two to try it... I'm just kinda having fun experimenting! Any great tips to keep birds away from my peas and beans that isn't covering them with tulle etc, I can't find mine and my vehicle is not running so I need to work with what I have. If I had enough, dollar tree years ago had these wire trash cans that are white and I put them upside-down, right over my starts, but I think I need about fifty more lol! They're great and lasted about three years now! Sry so long I think I was in the sun to long today.... Lol God bless and may your harvests be abundant!! 🌱🌿🌼😁👍🌼🌿🌱🌈🌤️🌻

I plant tomatoes for spring and get very little production before the hellish Texas summer sets in. But, I continue to water and fertilize right through summer and as the temps lower, the plants wake up and start flowering and fruiting like you'd HOPE they would in spring/ summer. No need to plant nee plants for fall, unless you just want different kinds.❤

[@guitjolin]

I have cuttings going constantly. If I get a good sucker that got away from me it goes into a pot with moist soil in the partial shade and within 2-3 weeks I slide it in somewhere. Literally all summer I have suckers rooting.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Thanks Luke! 🙂 I cut my indeterminate tomatoes when they get to the top of the stake. Just an experiment later: I'm going plant what I cut off. It may be too late in the season but I won't be losing anything if it doesn't work.😉 Even if I just get green tomatoes, salsa Verde! 👍 Blessings!💜

I have several volunteer tomato plants from my grape tomatoes I had in my garden last year. They are just getting to a point where they are blooming now! I took them out of the garden because they were growing in places where they weren't going to have room. Put them in large pots. All my tomatoes are in pots this year, and they are actually doing better than they did in the garden.

[@songbirdscreations-MargaretS]

@@trishthehomesteader9873 so do I! Also found out I had some volunteer eggplants as well! I grew a parthenocarpic tomato this year for the first time. Super healthy plant and set fruit like crazy. I pinched the suckers off as well as pruning off most of the lower branched. I stuck one of the suckers into a pot of dirt. Next day it looked really wilted, but a few days later, it had perked up and was growing roots! It is a nice small plant now. Hoping it will fruit before it frosts!

[@wallofriogrande]

Based off of some of your previous video's this is what I did this year, in particular with my Romas. I began taking suckers and making clones a couple of weeks ago. The clones are looking healthy and should get me that late summer/early fall harvest.

[@knottyneedle]

I getting ready to take suckers off plants which are fruiting now and I really like. Will have room to plant them out when they root. Can't wait.

[@mangopuppybaby]

Brilliant

[@wallofriogrande]

@@knottyneedle it's definitely the way to go. Just off my 8 Romas I'm probably going end up with 20-30 standard mason jars canned. That doesn't include my indeterminate paste tomatoes. I also started my Romas inside back in March or so.

[@daniellecarder3092]

Did you place the suckers in water to grow roots?

[@wallofriogrande]

@@daniellecarder3092 you can do either. You really have to pay attention to the soil and make sure it's moist. Just water is a bit easier to monitor.

[@GardeningGratitude]

I was today years old when I realized I need to add the germination days to the days to maturity to figure out the harvest date. Also, it’s super irritating when days to maturity isn’t on the seed packet.

[@Talula72]

I planted fall tomatoes last year but was too late and didn't get any ripe harvest. I'm trying again this year and my tomato plants are about 6 inches tall. Today I started a couple fall cucumbers and zucchinis.

[@imalwayslast3170]

I put my zucchini transplants in the ground in early May. It was only 3 plants. They are producing extremely fast now to the point of me having to recipe research for dinner every other night and just giving them away to neighbors and family. My patty pan squash are doing great as well. For some reason my eggplants...I got like 1 eggplant out of 9 plants. My cucumbers failed miserably as well. 3 Cucumbers so far...then again our weather has been way too hot and dry.

[@Talula72]

I do plant zucchini and cucumbers in the Spring as well

[@rg-mi5hh]

Plant cucumbers and green beans throughout summer and have some through summer and fall. We are learning to keep planting seedlings until end of July if there is time before frost. We are trying to grow tomatoes out the bottom of hanging baskets this year. Some are doing great, some aren't.

[@maryannditullio2581]

Question! When you start seeds in larger containers do you still use seed starting mix or potting soil?

[@tracycrider7778]

You can always use the green tomatoes

Thank you for explaining that we add the germination and days to maturity together!! Every time I look at a packet I wonder and then forget about it. When I plant early enough it isn’t really a concern, but I plan to hopefully have a fall harvest this year, God Willing, and this really helps out!

I always grow fall tomatoes 🍅. I have even harvested tomatoes as late as mid November here in the Denver CO area a few years ago.

[@SupahGeck]

Those yellow pear tomatoes were the first plants I grew in my very first garden (an 8x4 bed in my parents backyard I made while home from my first year of college.) They were sooo prolific but honestly the flavor and texture was pretty bad. Still, it was those tomatoes that set me down the gardening path and I've been growing veggies ever since.

[@myopinion3496]

Hmm. My neighbor planted yellow pear a couple of years ago along our fence line. Those little suckers were so prolific I ate 6-7 a day just picking off the fence line. Absolutely best tasting little mators I ever ate.

[@RayFromTheHayclan]

I think that is a great idea of growing them in small pots and transplanting them in the garden later.

Also are you fertilizing? Esp PK of the NPK. If they are only green you could be giving too much nitrogen.

I am a first year gardener & I live in California. My question for starting seeds in the middle of summer is my concern over our daily high temperatures that average in the 90s & over 100 (Fahrenheit). Will all seeds germinate if housed outside when temps can get that high? Especially tomatoes and beans? The only succession sowing I’ve done this year is with potatoes & cilantro, and honestly this year is truly a first year experiment to see how everything grows. I appreciate every little bit of education!! ❤️ April from Modesto CA

[@robine916]

[@brucetidwell7715]

Thanks! That was very encouraging. I haven't tried fall tomatoes before. I'm in Atlanta where our temps are in the 90s most days this time of year. Our first frost is Nov. 13, although last year I think it was well into December. I'm thinking about growing them in medium sized pots that I can keep in southern shade until they are at least a foot tall, maybe more, before I plant them out so they are not in full sun until it's a little less harsh and the plants will be a little stronger when they go in the ground. Will that actually help?

[@Monarky777]

Hmm I live in 6b in washington state. I plant tomatoes in the late spring and they are green and healthy until frost they was over 8 feet tall last year loaded with tomatoes the day before frost. I use 12-16 different kinds of endo mycorrhizae. Lots of azomite for minerals. I focus on the soil instead of the plant. flood water so the water gets 3 feet down. and i only water twice a month I plant my rootballs of the tomatoes as deep as i can. Got ahold of a worm farmer got a bunch of wormcasing that is unfiltered so it had the eggs and baby worms. In the fall after frost I put 6 inches of leaves. This year I have so many red wigglers and night crawlers in my garden. I have never seen redwigglers in soil in washington. So i know where they came from. They ate on the leaves all winter. In the spring there was this crazy black soil layer in between the leaves and soil. If worms have lots of food they multiply fast. Wish i could post pictures on here. My plants are already 5-6 feet tall. I also just trim the bottem leaves and mound up compost around the feet of the tomatoes.

[@Monarky777]

Watched a university give thiis lecture once. They was talking about Mycorrhizae. They had an experiment. They had these pots of grass and each one was controlled. One had none in it. One had 1 species. One had 4 species... anyway the more species there was the better and healthy the grass.

Hi Luke, I learned so many things from your video. I have little tomato starts I am about to plant outside and was worried I was starting too late. I love it they are not late tomatoes- they are Fall tomatoes! Maybe you covered this and I missed it, apologies if so. Is there an advantage to starting them in containers rather than direct sowing?

[@marthakratz7877]

One advantage I can think of is if you want to utilize the same space that the tired out tomatoes are growing in, you would want to start the replacements in pots.
