How to String & Sucker Tomato Plants

[@johnambrogio9585]

I’ve been gardening for over 45 years, and watching KZbin for about 10 years, and this video has given me so much information about suckering and taking care of tomatoes. Thank you

[@madhavdivya]

I do not know if you are still watching this video. This is by far the most informative and best videos that I have seen. I simply loved it. Great job, wonderfully presented and a BIG THANK YOU.

[@gregfelice]

a lot of gardening tutorials out there with people seeking youtube celebrity status, but lacking real information - this woman actually provides some knowledge. thank you!

[@kinshukbanerjee4587]

Very nicely explained! Thanks from India ☺️

[@calacupcake]

By far the most clear and detailed demonstration of suckering and stringing I could find. Thanks

[@kittyheart517]

I watched so many other videos how to prune tomato plants and by far, this is the most informative.

[@imustbegettinolder4434]

Thank you. A most informative and well presented video. I particularly appreciated the lack of music, the clear way you spoke and the end review. Thanks again.

[@vsop333]

Finally a video that shows this subject CLEARLY. So many other videos on here showing this process with the camera about 5 feet away.

[@lindacockburn9796]

The clearest, most concise movie I've seen. Tomato pruning you are demystified, and all my tomatoes now have no laterals... except above the flower... thank you!

[@danielcousar598]

You have a good teaching tone to your voice, some of the best instructions I have heard about suckering, thanks much!

[@casamartin2]

Best video by far: clear instructions, simple methods and IT MAKES SENSE! Thank you!

[@wildmandan60]

One of the most informative and easy to understand well presented video I've seen on You Tube. Thank you

[@vanalstyne9834]

No doubt.

[@jeannehart8180]

This was one of the most informative Tomatoe growing tips I have watched. Thanks and keep up the great vidios

[@simplerusss]

wow! this is the best step by step pruning tomatoes ive seen in youtube! unlike the others where its all talk and no actual demo. I can actually see what to prune now instead of me acting like a tomato barber ^_^ Hope you have a step to step guide to from seeds>seeedlings>fertlization for tomatoes That would be great!

[@juderubin4214]

Excellent and to the point. I've been gardening for nearly three decades and learned a lot. Thank you!

[@inetpcpete]

Wish everyone made instructional videos as good as this, thank you very much!

[@Mntdewmania1]

This is one of the best videos I found that took me step by step without a lot of rambling. I don't know if you will see this but thank you!!!!

[@FrontPorchFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alicerosario7800]

Thank you for explaining this method clearly and simply. I also liked the written summary at the end.

[@daltonfitz196]

Why would anyone dislike? You were very clear, you demonstrated perfectly

[@questionmarke]

After watching about a dozen videos that purport to explain how to properly prune a tomato plant, finally I find yours which gives me confidence that I know how to approach the task! Thanks!

[@rcwarship]

Thank you so much for taking the time & effort to make this video. I've never tried growing anything before & you have done a great teaching job!!!!

[@davidbonnieheald8614]

I learned so much in this short, 10 minute video. Thank you.

[@FrontPorchFarm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrsAChery]

OMG The best video I have ever seen. Although I am unable to string my tomatoes, I LOVED the information! Thank you so much!

[@cetm2000]

This is the best video I have seen (and I've seen dozens) on this topic. Thank you so much! I appreciate the very clear demonstrations and explanations.

[@azawni5909]

It's very good news for farmer who planted tomato, very informative

[@xicanowan]

Thank you for the EXCELLENT information! One of the better videos on tomato maintenance I've seen.

[@princeigor5895]

Fantastic, really informative and easy to understand.. I now know how to string my tomatoes properly, thank you

[@nandinirajrajan]

Wow...very informative. By far the best tutorial on growing tomatoes

[@farrahjean12]

This was THE BEST video on how to sucker a tomato plant. It also kind of hurt because I have been doing it all wrong and I hope I did not harm my plants so far. Thank you for the knowledge. It was a WONDERFUL and very informative video.

[@0MrENigma0]

Thank you so much for sharing this information! Finally someone talking about growing tomato plants that obviously knows what they are talking about. About to check out your other videos to see if any pictures of this later in the year.

[@kimberlylee1329]

The best video i have watched on tomato suckers. Thank you and bless you!! I am new to gardening and my little container garden didn't do well last year.

[@jimnelson8029]

I agree with others that this is a very informative and useful video. I'd just like to correct one thing. The suckers are not at leaf terminals, but in leaf axils. Terminals are ends; axils are crotches.

[@samuelade5914]

This is best videos that i have never seen before, thank for share and it will help me a lot

[@krautbeer100]

This is the best instructional I have run across and I have watched dozens. I am in the Philippines and they mostly have only little bland tomatoes. After finding a regular size, my friend and I were able to prep the seeds from the store bought fruits We only got 8 plants. I built a support from bamboo strips, but the plants are already 4 feet and going. I wanted to g to train them to go horizontally along along a 1 ft wide trellis since I have no way to go upward.

[@Karl_B]

Very informative. More so than some books I've read! Thanks.

[@jacksawyer8379]

Thank you so much. It's amazing how many videos I have watched about suckering where they have not explained the difference between determinate and indeterminate plants. And this year I got a variety of tomato plants and I've been suckering all of them. And some have not been vining up, so now I know why. I guess I've screwed up my determinate plants.

[@suzyq6767]

How cool! I live near Colville in Gifford. I found this on another channel that stole your content, so I came here and now will subscribe. Thanks.

[@preadp1]

I think this is a great video and clearly explains the difference between a deteminate and indeterminate tomatoes. A good tip on how to pollinate tomatoes, The only thing missing is about breaking the growing tip at 2 leaves above the top truss, late in summer for an indeterminate tomato variety, when the tomato hits the roof of the greenhouse ( or 7 trusses have formed inside a greenhouse). In this way this will encourage the flower to set fruit and ripen before the first frosts.

[@marcnoel147]

This video has the best information on tomatoes and how to prune.

[@ramanrrs]

Excellent demonstration and fantastic explanation at each step. Thanks a Lot.

[@jksatte]

Humph, that was very informative. Thank you. I have seen others on youtube string their tomato's but I didn't understand how that worked. Now I have an idea. Thank you. Janice

[@leesuschrist]

Great tutorial, it has been put in my favorites. The best I've seen so far on this subject. Keep up the good work

[@kathleenhall3459]

Wonderful video, i will try this for the first time this spring. My family and I have never "suckered" but it does look better as well as more productive. Thank you!

[@shannonjayne605]

My Uncle John lived in Addy...we visited often. Love the area, thanks for the video.

[@TheCreativeChica]

Very clear video. I just start growing my tomatoes and and learning so much, Thank you for making this video.

[@blackroseadewole6535]

Simple, straight forward and very relevant

[@Brockspapa]

The most helpful advice I've ever heard. I'm suckering this year and maybe I'll have some non-rotten tomatos. Many thanks~

[@deullist]

I cannot believe what I just learned. Excellent video.

[@14jaenak]

I never knew anything on growing/caring for tomatoes till i watched to video .... Thank you :)

[@JamesSmith-pt8dy]

Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks for the info vedios keep doing what'cha do best God bless ya !.

[@wheetgeneration]

Best discussion of this I have found. Thanks so much for producing this video.

[@TheTowAcademy]

Very good information, you make it simple for the new guys to growing tomatoes. Thank you, straight forward stuff.

[@Carolineee7748]

Just what I needed to confidently support & prune my tomatoes. Thanks!

[@drmikeyg]

Thank you so much. The best vid I've seen yet. You explain everything so completely. I'm a second year grower. Still ROOKIE.

[@meganclark4594]

Extremely informative! You are a wonderful teacher!

[@rickpadgett405]

Best tomato info. I have seen on youtube.

[@JAMESMAC442]

Excellent tutorial; clear, concise, complete,

[@DavidCulshawmer-r]

i learned a lot from this video ;) , its my first year of growing tomato's

[@olov244]

great video, i tried strings for the first time this year, i'm sold on it now. the plants look great i messed up some of my suckering(suckered the bush ones and nipped the top off one), but glad i found this video, now i know how to do it properly

[@bm5447]

Great video! You inspired me to use string to support my tomatoes and so far its working great! I am also pulling all suckers so there is just the one main stem growing vertically!

[@FrontPorchFarm]

@HDTView Tomatoes transplant very well. I have never transplanted a large tomato, but you'd need a container at least 5 gallons for a plant that size. Since this is late in the season, I'm not sure how much growth you would actually get. Transplanting will most likely stress the plant and speed up the maturity of the tomatoes already on it.

[@marysnare919]

Thank you! I learned what I needed to know re my indeterminate plants. I really appreciate your wonderful demonstration.

[@imaspacewoman]

OMGoodness Gracious I did not know to not sucker determinate varieties. Thank you very much I will stop that immediately!

[@michael98277]

This is a super-helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@danelle4314]

Great video. Easily understood, and very concise. Thank you.

[@zainqazi4558]

A very comprehinsive vedio,God bless you madam.

[@FrontPorchFarm]

I think what you're referring to is that if the suckers aren't too large, I just put them at the base of the plant to mulch over the hole in the ground cloth so that weeds won't grow. The thing that you have to be careful of in the greenhouse is getting and keeping it too wet, for that will definitely prevent the roots from getting enough oxygen. Good luck with beginning to grow! The best thing you can do for your garden is to visit it every day so that any problems are detected early.

[@kaymaier9780]

Thank you so much. You did a fantastic job explaining the process

[@ahmedsami1712]

Thank you for the Amazing video and the information . I wish I can live this life

[@FrontPorchFarm]

@Leutchik I've never had a problem with the branches breaking from the weight of the fruit. But you might try winding twine around and through the cluster of tomatoes back up towards the stem and tie it to your main string.

[@GABRAELakaDEAN]

Great tutorial, clear, concise & expertly done! Keep up the good work.

[@Johnnysday]

Nice and informative... Washington growers are buy far the most skilled. On the East side of the state you have little time for trial and error... You have to do things correct the first time... Great Job!!!

[@plain2growJim]

Excellent video! I learned an incredible amount in ten minutes. Great channel.

[@TheAMHaze]

I have great white tomatoes that i'm going to try to sucker. I made 6$ a pound to a French restraunt last year and didn't know about the sucker. I think this will help out a lot. thank you for your video.

[@qin02]

thanks for the vid, I am using the stringing method here in sydney. I have also noticed there is an added benefit of stringing method if employed for tomatos grown outdoors. branches move with the wind, they get stronger as a result, and more chance of wind pollination

[@MohammedAslamtit-bitsoflife]

I was having headache searching the web sites on HOW TO POLLINATE GREEN HOUSE PLANTS and amazingly you explained me in so simple way, oh Mam BIG THANK YOU.

[@FesterWerks]

So grateful for the exceptions to the rules you covered! I have several plants that seem to Y, one with blossoms and the other without. Now I know what to do with them. This is a great video, thank you.

[@Deminimis2]

Nice tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. I just started growing some tomatoes and have no idea as to what I am doing so this will help a lot. Thanks.

[@jasdas007]

Thank you for all the information and for the quick reply, I respect it very much! From the video I went ahead and suckered my yellow tomatoes and will do what you said. And you are right about the amount of yellow tomatoes, I do get plenty of them!

[@thomasluczak2868]

THIS IS by far and away the best sucker vid i have seen but i`ve got a big problem. forgot to label my deter and indeter plants ! well there`s always next year. thanks for the info.

[@edgobat]

Great video! Thanks for the tips! I will remember this for many years of future planting.

[@homegrafting]

Very informative and fun video! Thanks from .

[@FrontPorchFarm]

Glad the video has helped. I don't know if you planted your seeds in a pot under a grow light or outside. Tomatoes should be planted no more than 1/4 of an inch deep in light soil and kept damp. Depending on your situation, they can take up to 3 or 4 weeks to germinate. If you don't want to wait any longer you could go ahead and plant more seeds. Of all the seeds I plant I never have 100% germination rate, and mine are in a grow room under lights at 80 degrees.

[@MrCleveland6]

Thanks for the great info as i am starting my first garden and your tips are very helpful, Thanks

[@resacarebel1868]

good luck

[@samuel4833]

Very informative and everything is just on point. Thank you so much.

[@FrontPorchFarm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OurFreedomGarden]

Finally...this is the best video I've found on this topic. I ruined two plants by cutting what I was not supposed to cut. Thank you for this informative video.

[@elsahigby6018]

Thank you! I needed the detail that you provided. Haven't seen that anywhere yet.

[@katiemarie6400]

Learned a lot and really enjoyed the video, thank you!

[@palmbaylou]

Great information, I should have watched this before I trimmed my indeterminate plants. I do not think I did any harm but I will know more for in the future (next week). Thank you.

[@ramyasaravanakumar126]

Caring plants like babies...such a big yard n checking each plants separately... OMG...😱😵😍😍

[@lorne442]

Excellent video. Very informative. I did not know about the determinate and indeterminate. Thank you for your knowledge!

[@desertliving7611]

Great that's very informative, I can't wait to go home start my little farm in the Phil's. Keep posting. Take care.

[@petro062]

This is great. Most people don't talk about this stuff.

[@roosterbeaverhousen1961]

very informative video. now my tomatos won't be wasting their energy. thank you.

[@divinita1000]

'No, I am not playing the harp' LOL. Extremely well done video. Thanks..

[@kennethcaine3402]

Great video you just taught an old dog a new trick

[@AyurvedicGardens]

Thank you so much for this video! I have tried the string and sucker technique to grow tomatoes vertically and I made a video with the raised bed and this type of growing method☺

[@healingchannel1]

For those of us growing tomatoes outdoors and/or with limited vertical space, you *would* want to lop off the top of the plant at some point to stop it from getting too tall or to prompt it to focus its energy on fruiting instead of making new growth when it's getting close to harvest (like 30 days before frost). This stops the plant from growing upward beyond its support system and/or gives it time to finish up before the frost comes.

[@smoothbore09]

Thanks as well, Your'e helping to make me a back-yard HERO!

[@TheJuiceh]

this is one of the most informative videos I've seen. Thank you for sharing!!! :)
