I am a first year gardener and I planted my celebrity bush plants to close together, I will thin out between the plants for better air flow. Your video was a great help. Thanks.

This is unrelated to the video, but I had to share. I planted a single tomatillo plant this year. I just thought I would try one out. I probably didn't prune it correctly, and it's spread out 5 feet in all directions. It has hundreds of new flowers every day, and my vines (pumpkin, squash, cucumbers) have benefited greatly from this. The bees absolutely adore this plant. So they come in for the tomatillo and migrate over to the big yellow flowers. I've never had such a good crop! Definitely a must for next year!

I stopped using cages on my tomato plants a few years ago.. I felt like I couldn't get enough airflow to the center of my plants because the cages kept them too bunched up.. So I used cast iron pipe to make a 40' long 8' tall rail that spans clear across my tomato plants.. Then I drop twine down and tie off each branch individually.. As the plants grow I just wrap them around the twine and let them climb up it.. It's a little bit more work at first but it let's me spread my plants out better.. I fell like it has definitely helped slow down the spread of disease some..

@@GrowfullywithJenna Both, I only grow one row of tomato plants.. I space them 2' apart and I'm able to get 22 plants in my 40' row.. Most of the varieties I grow are indeterminate but I do have a couple determinate plants on the west end of the row, a Rutgers and a red snapper.. One of the unintended benefits that I discovered growing this way.. When you tie up the branches the twine holds all the weight and the plants don't have to use energy to support themselves.. Last year I had a Rutgers plant that was pushing 6' tall..

Thank you Jenna. I am a new subscriber and am finding your videos very informative - I learn things from you every time (I've been gardening for close to 40 years). One thing I would add is to remove foliage gradually if the weather is really hot. I need to prune my determinates and right now we have 38C temps. I made the mistake once of removing too much foliage all at once during hot weather - not a good plan. Many of my plants died. Anyways - thanks again!

I wish I'd seen this video literally three days earlier. I only just found your channel and I could not find any clear videos on pruning determinates. I have been pruning mostly like I do indeterminates, because that's all I've known. I just got back from vacation for 3 weeks and the plants had doubled in size. So, i pruned everything but the top 3 stem growths and any that had flowers/fruit. The good thing is they're healthy and I have no disease, and i have 8 suckers that I'm going to attempt to re-root and continue growing. But now I feel bad bc I worry I did too much. I didn't even know I'd planted determinate tomatoes until a week or two ago when I learned there was more than one kind of growth.

I pretty much prune our tomatoes the way you do. Both our determinate and indeterminate tomatoes. I even sometimes shorten the branches so I don't have to remove the whole thing. It seems tomatoes can take a lot of abuse at times. I try to keep air flow and everything off the soil. Half of our indeterminate tomatoes are tied to a trellis. The other half is staked. I don't usually have to stake our tomatoes, peppers or eggplant. But, this season we have had a lot of heavy winds off and on. Even when there isn't any rain. Our growing season here in NNY zone 4a doesn't give enough time for plants to really bush out. So pruning is at a minimum. Thanks for your tips! Take care!

Have you ever used Texas Tomato Cages for your indeterminate tomatoes? I got mine direct from the source many years ago and and love them. I see they are very expensive now but when I bought them I had to call the woman direct (before all this fancy ordering online) and I am still using them today. Folding galvanized steel heavy duty tomato cages. Sure beat the concrete reinforcing wire cages I was using. I agree with your pruning recommendations. It makes a big difference here in humid Southern Maryland to get those bottom leaves pruned off ASAP!

Hi Jenna! I planted 10 roma plants and I have so many coming on. They are just going crazy! I initially did the Florida weave to contain them, but now it’s just sprawling all over the ground, can’t even see the weave anymore 😬. Anyways, a lot have ripened, but most are on the bottom and it’s difficult to pick without possibly snapping some branches off. l want to harvest as many as I can, but i’m afraid if I move the branches, I might do some damages. Do you have any suggestions? Should I just carefully lift the branches to get to the ripen ones? Thanks for your help.

Believe I'm guilty of over pruning and causing leaves to cull or my no tilt system great for England and Charles Dowling but I agree with you Lady about not for my clay base soil as I have 4 types of gardening going on here my helicopter is growing 3 different types tomatoes and might be the best almost no work but light weeding waiting for crop to finish out before judging as I planted tomatoes into last season giant sunflower roots as my compose just added blood and bone meals at planting. I expect your plants would pass mine. My Midnight Snack are over 6 feet and a bushy monster and gave us tomatoes since late June so might have a win over you as yet. Yes your plants look so healthy compared to my no tilt but my salad tomato patch are much like you try to teach but I've need the cover crop probably red clover or buckwheat as I'm pulling out potatoes. QUESTION. After I put potatoes out and planning tomatoes next season What cover crops to plant. Something I can kill out by cutting or turning soil for spring planting of tomatoes Thanks you Lady Gardener my favorite teacher.
@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna 2 жыл бұрын
So I’m clear, John- your question about cover crop- you want something you can plant after the potatoes are harvested and to provide cover until tomatoes go in next year? If I’ve got that right, I’d recommend buckwheat- which will give you quick cover right now and then in September you could go in with an oat, pea, vetch blend. You could also do winter rye, but some folks don’t prefer that one since it’s more work to terminate.

Do you ever prune at the top end to force a bushier middle area so as to create a canopy. Because my tomatoes both determinate and indeterminate always grow with thin leaves and two or three vines, but rarely do I get a bushy middle like your plants. So trying different soil mixes, fertilizer routines, soil red so lots of iron, and lots of coral under topsoil of 8-10 inches. Im on an island d in the pacific, 78-88F 24/7 and as high as 90% humidity. While it's hot the difference I believe is in how bright the sun is. Example I've read that the sun in summer in wash DC at noon is 1000 times less bright? Less Lux? But temp is higher Than where I live at noon where the sun is 1000 "stronger"? According to an article i read years ago.

Hi Jenna, I have eight romas in my garden, and a couple weeks ago I trimmed off just the bottom branches so they wouldn't touch the ground. They're doing beautifully. I was concerned about disease leaves. I had noticed leaf spots on my beefsteak tomatoes and that got me started trimming the bottom leaves. Next year I'll have to try the tomato cages; seems that will make support a lot easier. What variety of determinants did you plant? Thanks again for another really informative video.

Thanks for sharing this, Matthew! There is some evidence that the Salicylic acid in aspirin may induce the SAR (systemic acquired resistance) response in tomato plants, which will encourage the tomato plants to use their defense systems. It may prevent the incidence of diseases but may not treat the diseases. So if you’re using it as a preventative (which it sounds like you are), I can see where this might help!

Not having any particularized knowledge about trimming and not being informed by any educated sources, I have ignored suckers and try to train my plants to spread out using a huge cage and adopted the possibly erroneous idea that More greenery is good because the greens produce chlorophyll and feed the plant. So I am loathe to prune. Except at the end of the season when I want them to hurry up and ripen. In your quest to avoid soil-born infection, have you tried weed-proof ground cover cloth?

More greenery is good to certain extent- I have definitely seen folks over prune to the detriment of their crop. I have tried different types of barriers- fabric, plastic and natural mulch and still often end up with disease. It’s likely less than if I left the soil uncovered but I’ve not done a comparison planting.

I was wondering what you may know about an allergy type skin reaction to tomatoes? The Lady of the house was helping cut out some of the ugly yellow and black leafed tomatoes and apparently has had a reaction to it.

I've not heard that of tomatoes- okra, squash, cucumbers... yes, but not tomatoes. BUT- I just looked it up and apparently some folks can have contact dermatitis from tomato foliage!

Oops I thought determinate tomatoes didn’t need pruning. Lol oh well next year I’ll try it. My celebrity tomatoes look like they are lying down taking a nap. I’ll get some cages next year or perhaps try the dwarf tomatoe project seeds

I don't prune my determinates so the extra leaves shield the fruit from the scorching sun here in East Texas.

Make sure you spray your tomatoes with a good fungicide, so you keep diseases away . Also make sure you plant disease resistant tomatoes especially fusarium wilt , race 1-2-3 .

I am probably the laziest, most inattentive gardener on the planet. Most years I haven't even tied up my tomatoes at all. They just go crazy all over the ground. We never really have any disease problems and, while we may not always get the biggest crop, we get enough for six of us. Half the time I don't even actually _plant_ tomatoes. They just volunteer from the year before. The only trouble with that is that I foolishly planted romas and cherry tomatoes and they seem to have cross-bred into some weird mutant half-way between the two and then just mostly turned into cherries. And then they just... Didn't come back much at all the next year. Definitely NOT what I wanted. Oops. We're in NEOH and we've got terribly clay, too. I'm finding that the best thing for that is LOTS of grass clippings. I'll even cut the neighbor's yards just to get the grass clippings. I'm cheap. I'm growing indeterminates and I really like the cow panel trellis. I'll probably just cut down some of the underbrush in the local woods and build one out of that, though. Did I mention that I'm cheap? LOL

It all depends what your goals are, I explain why I prune mine in the video. If you don’t have trouble with the diseases I do here in my climate, you may not want to prune them.

I'm not throwing them away, they go into the compost. And yes- you're right, they're great for canning. Unfortunately, during the time of year this video was shot, I typically don't have a lot of time to can them. I usually try to get some in October before the last frost.
