I'd like to add is that tomato plants should be watered in with a high phosphorous fertilizer solution once planted (ex. N-P-K = 15-30-15). This will stimulate root growth and help the plant anchor itself firmly into the ground to ensure robust growth into the future. Although the granular fertilizer should work, it is slow release and takes a while to 'kick in', so this initial boost is likely required. Thanks for watching growers, and happy tomato growing!!! 😀🌱🍅

Hi Lucas, thanks for getting back to the basics. The tomato plants available are limited in both type and amount. It takes work and attention to start plants from seed, but well worth it to grow what you like or would like to try. Looking forward to growing our gardens with you this summer! 🐝
@lucasgrowsbestyt2 жыл бұрын
You're welcome Tricia! Yes, growing from seed is something that can be very rewarding! I've been wanting to do this video for a long time, and, although it's not perfect, I hope both new and experience veggie growers alike find it useful. Good to have you along on the growing journey this season. Fingers crossed it's gonna be a great one for both of us!!! 🍅

Lucas, what’s tomatoes should I grow and what fertilize should I use
@lucasgrowsbestyt2 жыл бұрын
Hi Marie! There are so many great varieties of tomatoes... what are you looking for? If you want classic red beefsteak tomatoes, I suggest Big Beef. For cherries, Supersweet 100 and Sun Gold are good ones. Typically I like hybrids vs heirlooms as they are more productive and disease resistant. As far as fertilizer goes, use something that's higher in Phosphorus and potassium.

GOOD Day from Suriname 🔯. I love this Vid. Thanks Lucas for showing me how very high quality the most littleless Cherry Tomatoes grow sooo high ❤❤❤ That is what I really needed to know. I bought some very expensive imported cherry tomatoes for salad, and I dried all the seeds❤❤❤Because I do not know where to buy it locally in my Country. Do not forget that Suriname is a third world country 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏but I love and Love my Suriname. I am sooo happy. Thanks for your video to not Overwater them. I can not wait how high they will be in front and next to my house❤❤❤❤ Thanks to You, I am looking for the sunniest parts at my yard.❤❤❤❤ God Bless you FOREVER PRECIOUS DEAREST Sir Lucas.

Subbed! One of the best how to vids I've seen. Thank you so much. My issue is I dont know how to prune. Im not sure where the flowers/tomatoes grow on the plant. Its always seems like the sucker are the flowers. I wonder if I've over pruned for the air circulation. Again, I love your video. Will be watching again.

Thanks Adwoa! I might do that once I have ripe fruits this season! Not sure if you noticed but I featured Granadero in this video. You can see it briefly in the 'Harvest Time' section beginning at 13:05. I personally didn't find it very productive, however I only planted one plant and due to my half acre project did not spend as much time as I should have caring for it.

Hey Tiffany! I've grown Green Zebra, Cherokee Purple, and Black Krim, but would love to experiment with more heirlooms, and plan on it in the future. They're super cool and taste amazing. Since I currently have a small garden space to work with though, I'm focussing on hybrids to maximize production.
