First year actually trying to grow a few things. I told my wife I expect everything to die, so if I get anything it's a win! So far, only issues I've had- didn't use proper aoil mix for container potatoes, and dealing with bottom end rot on several tomatoes. Watering seems to be biggest issue. Didn't realize how quickly ground dried up here in mid Tennessee! Didn't want to buy more stuff, so I used door screening, and some leftover PVC, to make a basic sunshade. That helped immensely. This channel, and just a couple others, have helped a ton. Thank you. ✌️😊

My homemade Tomato cages, 6yrs old are done. I bought 16ft L x 5ft W cattle panel. Cut it in half too 2, 8ft pcs. Attached them to 7ft t posts in a 4x8 raised bed. 3 tomato plants up each side. We are growing 3 San Marzano's and 3 Rutgers. So should be plenty of room for a few, orderly suckers. Right? Now the fun part. Each plant has 6-8 growing stems weaved up through the openings in the panels in the shape of a fan. All other suckers above getting pinched. So, at ground level 3 plants on each side, at panel level, it looks like 3 Menorah's. Takes almost daily attention training each grow stem, but so far worth it. Clusters everywhere, over 40 Tomato's started on each of our 3 San Marzano plants and still blooming as they are trimmed and woven upward. Yeah, gardening can be fun.

An experiment where you grow a tomato on the ground like a squash or a pumpkin would be cool, since in the wild they would grow horizontally along the ground in a bush style, maybe it's easier for the plant to transport nutrients and water compared to being vertical. Perhaps burying the vines like you would a pumpkin might also boost yields since tomatos root on the entire stem so easily it seems obvious.

I feel your pain. I've had that happen too. They also like pepper plants. At least they leave garlic and onions alone. I've been looking to replace my wire fence which is 6 feet tall with a polyethylene fence. I've read people's YT posts that say an "invisible fence" that deer can't see can be effective. The deer bump into it and since they can't see it they don't know how high it is and won't jump it. I watched some KZbin videos on this topic. I've since done some internet research and there's a company called "Critter Fence" that makes these invisible fences. Apparently the fences, depending on which you buy, can last as long as 25 years. Not all of the fences they sell are invisible. Some are rated for deer, others for elk. Depending on the size of your garden it can be a bit pricey. My garden is only about 250 square feet and it would cost me about 300 to 400 dollars to replace my current fence, which is doable for me. I don't work for the company. I have no experience with their products and nobody I know does either but I think I'll give them a try next spring because my fence DOES need to be replaced and I need a taller fence - about 8 feet - to deter the elk in my area. This spring the elk tried to jump my fence but misjudged the height and landed on top of it which bent it halfway to the ground. They're beautiful but so are my vegetables and I don't want to share! 😂. I hope this helps you. Best of luck to you. 🙂

We had to change course early as my large tomatoes just didn't do well as starts. So I put out a ton of Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. My cherry tomatoes have wildly exceeded my expectations in both production and flavor. Two cherries were in a Greenstalk and one in a jumbo container. The Romas are a mix of in ground and container. I have worked hard this year to prune those bottom leaves & crossing stems to improve air flow in our heat/humidity. I'll never have picture perfect tomatoes, but even with a heat index at 110, we have Romas coming in with that pruning and a shade cloth.

In our micro climate the temperatures can swing from the 50s in the morning to the 100s in the afternoon. The harvest every year has been great. I encourage everyone to plant different varieties and discover the ones that work for them and their garden.

I know this is such a tricky question, but, as far as watering your tomatoes 2-3x a week... we have a timed irrigation, and I've had them getting 10 minutes of water in the morning each day, but it's pure guess work for me. The cherries and heirlooms are growing strong, tall, and producing good fruit. But the San Marzanos are getting blossom end rot like crazy. I just sprayed them this morning with a calcium/fish emulsion mix (I've been giving them fish emulsion every 2-3 weeks since they were planted). But I'm curious if you think the watering is part of that issue? They are all in the same bed. And if you were to shift to watering every 72 hours, how many minutes would you start off with? 3x the amount? 30 minutes?

Kevin, I've been watching your videos for a long time and have learned so many things from you that I follow everyday. One thing I would disagree with you is about harvesting tomatoes before it is fully ripe. You might be right that the flavor is already developed when it starts to show colors. But, I have tried to harvest early and I have harvested "vine ripe", the sugar content is just not the same! I mostly tried it with sungold and super sweet 100 variety.They were so sweet when vine ripened, but if ripened on the counter, they are not as sweet. I haven't tried with larger tomatoes, I just cook them or eat them without even noticing! lol. But this year I will try again to figure out if really vine ripened tastes different or not

The Sungolds that I grew from Botanical Interests seeds did this weird thing where they ripened from the shoulders DOWN, instead of from the blossom end UP. If picked with ANY green left at the blossom end, that area never ripened, but the shoulders overripened and became mushy. Is this normal for Sungolds? First time growing them. I will say, once I dialed in the best time to harvest them, they are sweet and delicious (in the raw state. I found that when cooking them, they disintegrated and all that was left was bitter skins).

Question -- my tomatoes exploded last year (I wasn't diligent about harvesting and with a rainy early fall season, they exploded. Left them on the ground during the winter. They reseeded and are growing profusely. Is this normal? I thought they are annuals. Are the seeds hardy? I'm in zone 3-4. If that's the case, should I leave some to drop on the ground during the dormant winter season?

Great to see your cameo in Ethan Chlebowski’s new vid. The epic tomato crossover I didn’t know I needed!

Do you ever aerate the soil around your plants for oxygen and deep watering?

What if I cut leaf below sucker and the sucker. Basically cut off most of the leaves. Is that bad? Did I just loose a ton of product?

When and where are there tomato tastings/competitions? I’m just starting and learning so much from your videos… I did so many things wrong:/
