I don't think you need to feed your plants. Your energy alone can feed the universe. Love it.

I love seeing Tuck! I lost my little Yorkie Violet about a month ago and seeing Tuck makes me smile. Great video too!

[@joeystaab7595]

Im sorry for your loss, not to sound exclusive, only us who have had Yorkies know how special they are ,crazy little dogs but will always put a smile on your face

[@2Hearts3]

Great plan! I'm so glad to see you and Tuck. Glad he's feeling better 😃👍🐾

[@jankuhlmann9196]

I love these clips. Along with tomatoes I also use them for for cucumbers and squash.

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

James you are the BEST gardening expert I’ve ever watched! You are INSPIRING and so full of LIFE! We enjoy you so much! And we adore Tuck! If you ever offer tours of your food forest we’d fly up to “Jersey” just to see it in person! Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge! ❤ to Tuck!

[@lindaseel9986]

James, you and Tuck show us how to work smarter, not harder. Thanks so much! 💖💝💓💞💕♥️💘💗 For Tuck!

[@sharylmichael]

Love watching you guys and all the new ways of gardening. Never to old to learn something new! I have been gardening for over 53 years 🤗

[@virginiaseedsskogen2038]

Your garden has impressed me again and again over the last three years that I've been following. Our little food forest is gowing more diverse each year, you have been a strong influence, and I love seeing Tuck! Your tall tomato system seems like the best way to grow healthy, simple to harvest tomatoes. Johnny Seeds sounds like the best option to me.

[@mosesmerlin8882]

Oh, dear James, you and Tuck are so wonderful. There are other youtuber gardeners that I like to learn from, as well. But, you have such a lovely spirit that it's a special joy to watch and learn from you. Thank you.

[@janicemmckaig9135]

Thank you James for all your knowledge and enthusiastic information! My husband, Doug and I LOVE ALL your videos🤩 We found your video on tomato clips and have loved them for these last 2 years. We have one difference though in that our garden pen had a fencing top about 2 ft wide and that is where the tomato vines grow. All the vines will lay and grow on top even the butternut squash! Also really help the heavy fruit to hang. This is just a welded wire. Again, thank you for ALL your education as we always learn something!

[@Highlander.7]

Dude Tuck is an OG. I am really glad to see this channel flourish. I remember watching year 2 food forest updates when hardly any such thing was on YT. Much love and blessings brother

[@kevinlaughery9552]

Your older bed you might want to replace the top board that holds the string rollers. I was using a 2x 12 as my top runner and after 4 years the weight of my tomato plants snapped the board in 2. This really sucked mid summer it was so hard to re do this when the plants weigh so much. Hopefully you do not have to go through this. Most of my plants didn't recover completely

[@Sparkysings2]

I purchased these clips from your Amazon store two years ago. Thanks for all the awesome tips! You’ve really helped my gardening journey. Tucky too!

[@yxcvmk]

Do you reuse these clips, or are they done after one season?

[@Sparkysings2]

@@yxcvmk you can use them over if they don’t break

[@tsminnal]

I live in Canada and I can't start gardening without first watching your video. You put soo much hype and energy into us. Thank you

[@spideymcgee4718]

Just ordered these clips and rollers. So stoked for this growing season.

[@shaneherrick727]

I've been away...so it's great to see you & experience your awesome spirit again! Good to see you looking so healthy! peace to you & Tuk.

[@NennawsGarden]

I love how you explained this! Your gardens are amazing!

[@shaylebennett7310]

You make me love gardening bc you've shown me how to do it in a smaller but with bigger results. Last year i had 5 tomatoe plants that grew huge on this method. This year i planted 20 in the same location with fish parts. I can't wait to see the results. Thank you!

[@joj1252]

Great tips & clever trellising James. Space saving too meaning more tomatoes 🍅 👍🏻

[@gracebeforemefarms8365]

Thank you so much James!! This information IS a game changer for me!! I’ve never known about tomato clips. Awesome, I’m going to order some supplies!! Thank you again. Always love to see Tucker in the garden.

[@normarosado5697]

❤❤ I'm loving learning so much from your channel, I grew a few tomatoes last year that just went wild, your teaching has allowed me learn the differences in variety. Hugs for Tuck❤❤. Thank you

[@ethantreto4315]

Tuck is a trooper, even tho it’s hot he makes himself comfortable by diggin his hole. Mine dog does the same thing when I’m in the garden for hours .. gotta have mama best friend by your side

[@margaretderen2082]

I love those clips! For thicker stemmed plants, I often clip them together so one clip is around the plant and the other is around the support.

[@helicart]

Really smart. This makes so much sense, and fits with what I know about commercial growing techniques.

[@deborahphillips8342]

You are so awesome James! I'm 74 and am just always so energized and inspired by your videos. Please keep up the good work! And keep showing that adorable Tuck!!

[@reader649]

James you are a person of many talents!. You can tell that you are very good at detailed observation/ almost like a scientist, plus you are a meticulous carpenter and have keen engineering and efficiency skills that inform your gardening techniques. I know studying permaculture adds to those skills. Love seeing Tuck and you every time you post. Thanks so much! :)

[@virginiaseedsskogen2038]

Totally, agree!

[@reader649]

@@virginiaseedsskogen2038 Thanks ! :)

[@emelv44]

Love your channel! When I grow my indeterminant toms they always fruit much lower on the plant. They eventually grow over 7 feet, but so late in the season that they aren't flowering as much.

[@smas3256]

Zone 6b. Great minds think alike. I'll be planting Roma here and there. I think two stakes and lace string back and forth a few times giving a place for sucker support. You encourage us to think outside conventional wisdom. ❤ to Tuck. We will be using your pruning method again for our cucumbers. Thanks so much James.

[@AZCWoods]

Time to make a nicer trellis this week for my tomatoes. Thank you & Tuck, the amazing Garden Guardian.🌱

[@creativcat]

I just got my Guardian of the garden sweatshirt! I love it…I will upload a pic tomorrow when I am in the garden with it. Please give Tuck a hug from me, and tell him thank you for being here for us. Keep up the great content, I am on my 2 nd year of gardening and I am struggling but I learn something new every day from you…thank you! ❤

[@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie]

Thank you for showing this up-close. We use cattle panels and wind the tomatoes in and out of the panels and trim lots off the bottom. We did 45 plants last year 😮

[@jerzeytodd5390]

New subscriber, I've been watching for a few weeks and love the content. I only live a few minutes from you so your gardening timing and advise couldn't be any better

[@lifeisgood9175]

Great advice! I use my old gazebo to trellis most plants with mesh trellis' on the 2 sides, but THIS is a fantastic idea, I can do this on the front of the gazebo. Just in time, I was trying to figure out how to trellis my tomatoes. Thanks James!

[@magiccookie22]

Growing traditional tomatoes this year at my mom's house, but really looking forward to growing tomatoes like this when I get my own place! I love the aesthetics of this, and it's effective too. Fingers crossed for a good growing season

[@smas3256]

Plants love the attention. Feel the love. It's all about vibrations we get and give.

[@patriciagraham4786]

Thank you for sharing this and all your gardening wisdom. You're Awesome! I love your enthusiasm! I have about 50 various tomato plants in red solo-type cups, about to be needing transplanted. I'll be giving most of them away. But, i really enjoy getting them started. I have to grow in containers, due to gophers or groundhogs, and due to back problems. Next year, I'll be growing container friendly tomatoes in my new GreenStalk Vertical Towers. Go Tuck ❤❤❤

[@donnabagnati29]

I’ve been using this method for years, love it

[@gaelsterner2815]

Watching from PA. Excited to see Tuck and James snd learn more about gardening!!

[@elenawiley2050]

Always learning from you James ! Tuck is looking for a carrot 🥕 ❤ Tuck

[@kalinystazvoruna8702]

Back around 1979 or 1980, I was hired to work in a professional greenhouse where they grew hydroponic tomatoes. They had a similar system. Nice to see professional stuff spreading into the backyard/homegrown community.

[@joytotheworld2100]

Great idea. Beautiful design. I'm on a fixed budget. I took the bench out of the adult swing I had. Used the frame & added garden netting for the tomatoes to climb. 4 years and still going great. Cost $10.50.

[@lifeisgood9175]

I'm using my old metal gazebo in the same way. It works and I love it! Cheers!

[@johnthomas9724]

Sir James again and again you motivate me even more than i am to go out there and put what i learnt into ACTION 🌱

[@scrappinrabbit]

Your videos are so informative and you demonstrate and explain everything so clearly, you're an inspiration. Best gardening channel on KZbin! And Tuck is the cutest pup.

[@AirzGamingTTV]

Your videos are so fantastic. I love your designs too- Im making another one of your raised beds this week. Best gardening channel on youtube thank you for posting

[@ladybirdgib]

I have those same clips! Been using them to train my tomatoes and tomatillos on a 16'x4' cattle panel I have going down the middle of my two 4'x8' beds. I wanted to use the cattle panel as arch elsewhere next year. Now the hubby has another garden project to help me with next Spring! Also, I have some tomatoes in ground in separate area of our gardens. I did a sort or short version of the Florida weave. I'm 5'3" so trellises for some stuff has been a challenge! Definitely trying this next season! Thanks for sharing!

[@KatrinaMiller117]

Hi Tuck! Great ideas regarding trellising. Thank you for the heads up on the clips.

[@trevoraraujo4888]

I love this method of trellising tomatoes. I have been using this for a few years.

[@akzorz9197]

[@Eric-gi9kg]

I learned about this style of trellising a 1 1/2 years ago from another youtuber. Though I much prefer the roller version and how you secure the end/soil attachment. Seriously love those clips, And they Seriously cheap.

[@richstone2627]

Tuck is the man. I like the new way you anchor your strings. In the past I buried the string under the tomato roots when transplanting. I also used a small bamboo stake beside the tomato plant and tied the string to it. I'll have to try your new way because it looks to be the way. Thanks.

I enjoy your videos and think the world of your pal, Tuck! Even though I've been growing tomatoes for 53 years, you inspire me. Be careful with bamboo. I've had fungal problems with imported bamboo. Better to split an 8', full size (rough cut) 2 x 4, than to risk fungal issues. Enjoy the season! ✌
