James and King Tuck, we ordered the vertical growing string and clips. But that's for next year. I still have almost 200 jars of tomatoes canned from last year! 🥰♥️💓💝💞😘💕 For the Young King.

Great technique! Vertical growing tomatoes saves space and improves air circulation, leading to healthier plants and easier harvesting. Happy Gardening.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

in the UK, we trim out the top of the tomato plat after 5 or 6 trusses of fruit, but this is due to the short growing season in the UK

[@beckymartinez9926]

I love the clips too. I was shocked how much easier it is than twisting it up the twine.

[@TheKarver79]

Once I saw you showcase these rollers last year I went online and bought them. I have now changed my cucumber beds to utilize them as well. I love them, and I noticed this year they have gone up in price. They are getting popular and the companies are cashing in.

Good video ,I'm an old timer growing tomatoes for over 60 years , I tie mine to metal rods I drove in the ground 30 years ago .

[@poodledaddles1091]

You were ahead of your time!

[@Kathleen253]

Yes, in 1968 was the first time I grew my own tomatoes, I had no clips only twine and some bamboo stakes. I credit my success to growing my Sweet 100s on a south facing side of my white garage. I had tomatoes all summer well into October. All done in Western Washington. Pretty good for an 18 yr old beginner.

[@BigboiiTone]

I am pretty new to gardening. You can tell this is a good channel if it's acceptable to experienced gardeners as well as beginners

[@lorib5323]

@@BigboiiTone it IS!! James has changed up how he grows every single one of his plants several times trying to find what works best for him. WE then get to see them all :)

[@BigboiiTone]

@@lorib5323 Totally agree. I live in an area with long winters and short amounts of sunlight. We really don't have time for experiments to fail and start all over again. We have to have things planted and in the seedling stage at minimum. Without James P and one other gardening channel, I would be having a much harder time. James has saved us a ton of disappointment and wasted seed/supplies!

[@revk8611]

I bought those clips last summer, after seeing your video. What a game changer. Largest Harvest I ever had, with more plants in the garden! Thank you James. Hearts❤to Tuck.

Seeing him in the garden, makes me smile and remember my little Garden Buddy, Chocolate - this will be my first growing season in 18 years without him - We lost him a few months ago. But Tuck wandering around munching on the yummies….makes me remember Chocolate doing the same!!

Hey Team Tuck! Thanks for the video! I am glad you dealt with the wind issue as I am always wrestling with that in my garden.

Is there a video that show how you built the trellises you are currently using? I'd like to follow a guide as I am not really good at woodworking.

[@jaspercaelan4998]

I found the stems on some of my tomatoes got too thick for these clips mid season. Twisting the string around the plant is the best way to go in my opinion.

[@Detour4it]

Excellent job 👏

[@dandydonslife9869]

Hey James. I’ve been watching your videos for about 4 years now. That lower yield comment toward the end was interesting (10:50). I saw a video where a guy lets two suckers grow off the main stem and got a higher yield that way. Have you ever thought about trying something like that?

I have a cattle panel...they grow even above it....if I trim the tops will it force new growth in the plant and make more tomatoes below?? This would be like in August when they are at their fullest....i trim within also for sucker's and airflow...

James watching you grow tomatoes last year it encouraged me to try all new varieties this year. I can’t wait to try all of your great advice. And love seeing the boss! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ for Tuck!!

[@GASNICABRUNATNA]

Great tip with the staking/anchoring.

[@locustsun]

I might stick with something that lasts for one season (functionally and materially) that isn't the plastic clips, it seems like that's introducing more plastic into the environment.

[@tinaern]

I tried the clips - made it 1 season and they were brittle and crumbled - not what I wanted in the garden 😒

[@AirzGamingTTV]

James - you have the best channel on youtube! I can't tell you how much I love your gardening designs- I've made your above ground planters for my yard and could not be happier. I can't wait to try your tomato rigs. Thank you for posting- from Columbus

[@krielkip]

A couple of years ago I found these 'corkscrew'-tomato-stakes in Germany, and I would never want to do it any way else anymore. Not sure if they are sold in the US but they are the best! They are about 8ft long, the first part is 2ft straight, you drive that into the ground, than come the 'corkscrew' part. Very very easy to lead the tomato around the stake, it holds great also when it's very windy. No ropes, mayby two regular clips for the first part of the grow. RVS so really sustainable. The plants can move up and down without anything ever getting stuck or to tight. I love them! Edit: these stakes also work great with bigger sunflowers. After season, if you manage to turn and twist the sunflowerstem in one piece free from the stake the stem itsself has a corkscrewshape. If you dry these stems you can use them next season as corkscrewstakes for the tomatoes, they last only one season but work very well!

Looking forward to the pruning video that you mentioned. I just can't let my tomatoes get as tall as they want to grow so need to know how to properly top them without stressing or killing the plant. Thanks for your energy and content James! ❤Tuck❤

I love those plastic clips. This is my first year using them. I’ll definitely show this trellis to my husband. We have such a small garden space, this would be perfect! Thanks for sharing!

[@jackjohnson291]

I stake and don’t do single stem. I usually grow 2, 150 yard rows worth and just keep it simple, in addition to some heirlooms, Cherry, Grape, and Romas. I always have WAY more tomatoes than I can ever eat and can, so the neighbors, friends, and family get all they want. 😅 I’m liking those clips! I’ll have to give those a try this year.

[@burrelsandra]

Question.... do you rotate where you plant your tomatoes or do you just amend the soil? For a gardener with limited space that's too much for me to do so I'm just going to amend and plant them and see 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

[@Crystal13Magic]

I like that you planted garlic between your tomatoes. Garlic can help repel spider mites and other pests that commonly affect tomato plants.

[@GeorgieGirl1012]

Wonderful ideas & information. You mentioned cucumbers I’m going to look through your videos for tips, would you mind doing a video with updates on working with cucumbers. Thanks so much, happy growing!😊

[@debj3636]

FYI the red tomato clips last longer than the clear. When I first started using them many years ago, they were all red. The clear ones came out and they were a lot cheaper so I bought them but they were failing before the old red ones were and they were several years older and had been out in the sun longer. The red ones are a lot harder to find these days but for some reason the sun doesn’t make them crack as fast as the clear ones. Love ya Tuck ❤❤❤❤❤!!!

[@Alexcia215]

We are in the same zone and I was also worried about my tomatoes due to the cooler weather, but they are growing like yours so I must be doing something right!!

Hi James! What about all that plastic after harvest? Is it reusable?

[@tonydittmer]

Love the videos James, and love the passion and energy.

[@amburkajama]

I love tomato clips. The first ones I bought were clear plastic and they didn’t last long but I found some in a terra cotta color that are uv resistant and still look great going into their third season.

[@johnlord8337]

Try using a high wood or metal tubing clothesline trellis "T" shape, like a raspberry or blackberry cane or grape vine trellising. Run metal cabling between the 2 (or more) trellis structures. Using the same tomato vertical line machines, you can alternate these on the cables. Using this design, you can plant EVEN MORE tomato plants per row. Using the tomato clips, you can diagonally lean out the tomato plants to the left and right, giving more air- and sun-space with each plant. The diagonal use allows the tomato vine to also bend outward, and easily lower down when needed. With the plants leaning L, R, L, R, L, R, L ... each plant gets more sunshine and doesn't grow into (and fight with) the other plants. You can have maximum production in a smaller space.

[@johnlord8337]

Using the new method of sucker grafting locations for additional tomato production, one can outward trellis these offshoots as an upper espaliered canopy, like an upside-down christmas tomato tree.
