Tomatoes - facts you didn't know.

[@didarling9347]

thank you Morag for your generosity and calm way of presenting. Love your videos and watch them for company and info. My fav is still Balcony Permaculture which I've watched many times as so info dense and you are both so lovely. I visited Crystal Waters early 1980's with Max And Trudi Lindegger and it is beautiful to see how it has grown.

[@celiahmance]

I could listen to you for hours and hours. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@kerryfleck4706]

Morag - you are so inspiring - I am just getting into gardening and am very excited. I love your videos.

[@trishwood6047]

I never thought of taking cuttings from tomatoes. Thanks so much for all that you share. Love it 🥰

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

I know - it was a revolutionary idea when I realised!!

[@littlebird2037]

A tiny seed of hope is sprouting in me that I might be able to grow food this way. Easy, breezy, and joyful ☺ Thank you for being "you!"

[@garyquack19]

I forgot how much your videos are just pleasant and simple reminders that no matter what, life is always a five second decision from pleasant simple rewarding abundance. Love and Peace yallzz!

[@fergusdangerfield156]

Loving your videos morag, I'm in SE England ang grow gardeners delight and sunglasses tomatoes as cordons in the greenhouse and have excellent results I'm going to try other varieties in open ground when my raised beds are completed. Thanx for posting xxx.

[@craigmetcalfe1749]

Hey Morag! Every time I watch another one of your videos, I learn so much as an experienced foodie and a nascent gardener. I have sown from bought seeds for the first time this year and now I have to find homes in my garden for 24 cherry indeterminate tomatoes. They have such a long harvest time in my garden. The vine can be almost dead, and it still manages to pump out little tomatoes. Your advice on propagation and seed saving is brilliant and sustainable. I have recently purchased determinate Roma tomatoes so that my wife and I can start making our own sauce. We are not Italian but love Italian food, wines and ways of growing in the garden. Stay safe and test negative!

Thanks for sharing this Craig. Happy gardening. Stay safe too.

Well I'm in my mid 50's and had always thought the tomato leaves were toxic! You learn something new everyday! Thank you 😊

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Happy to help!

[@tanyacurtis8042]

I didn't know you could eat the leaves, that's great news, thanks Morag. I always leaning something useful from your videos. :)

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Make sure you cook them and I suggest eating them in combination with other things, like in pasta sauce or curry etc

[@tanyacurtis8042]

Morag, you inspired me to start a garden over my backyard grass using sheet mulching I started on boxing day. Today I have chia sprouting, about 30 different herbs, fruits and veggeis including 3 baby pumpkins just discovered today! It makes me so happy. Thank you!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

How wonderful! Happy gardening 😀

[@chantaltulliez8066]

Morag I heard that tomato leaves were poisonous???? obviously not what a surprise for me....thank you for all you do for the planet and humanity ....Be Safe

[@CardinalGardener]

Many years ago when I was trimming tomato plants I thought, wow so many leaves, I know I'll make a juice with them! oh my.... I was sick to my stomach and bowels. Perhaps this year I'll experiment eating just a few leaves and see how I react to it.

[@hayleymoriarty3535]

I am watching your clips everyday and have never learnt so much so quickly 😂 You are fabulous 🙏🏼

[@courtneyshackelford4888]

I planted my baby cherrie tomatoes today! Thank you for the information!

[@HuwRichards]

I envy your climate Morag🙈

[@juju25619]

Thank you for the video

Thanks!! IT's a very good idea to get a more wild variety from saving seeds from a bought tomato. So important to have more resilient varieties. Also nice to know that you can use a leave to start a new tomato and that you can actually eat them! Great tips!!!

[@annettep.1605]

Is flax good sprouted also, as well as chia seeds. One of my favorite sandwiches is hummus with sprout,ummmm!🥰😉🥰😀

[@hortusscalarum1543]

Thank you for your videos! I didn't know that there are recipes for green tomatoes. That's brilliant because lots of them don't ripen at the end of our growing season. 👍 Greetings from Germany

[@pavi1223]

Thank you for all your videos and information. We bought a new property and started to grow some veggies. But all my tomato, eggplant and Chili plant leafs are getting curled and not growing properly. Is there any I can do?

[@gloriakipfer3144]

I didn't know you CLD grow tomatoes like this ! Thank you!!!

[@sevenlayersfarmandnursery2998]

Hey Morag! What an inspiration you are! You said that you haven't planted tomatoes for year cuz they simply re-seed themselves. Does that concept work for cold climates as well? I am in MN (zone 4).

[@manasigupta4379]

Lovely Morag, thank you so much for thisvideo and many others, you are so inspirational

Hi! Could I make a green powder in my dehydrator with the leftover stems and leaves of the tomato plant? 🍅 I can not find that information anywhere. Thank you. 😊

[@dustman96]

Great vid! I think it's important to cook tomato leaves.

[@sharadajoshi8920]

Hi Morag Where do you get wild cherry tomato seeds are they same as heirloom cherry tomato seeds available on the net

[@polkcellar]

Thanks Morag, I always learn something from you for here in zone 9B California. 🐞

[@sarahhenkeman3786]

Love your videos, thanks. Just a bit confused. In Aug 2016 the edible flower video at around 6.46, you advise not to eat tomato, eggplant & potato flowers. Did new information come to light re tomatoes? Appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Haha - you are observant. Yes - new info revealed

[@sarahhenkeman3786]

@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife More like hanging on your every word during this massive learning curve. Learning a lot from you and others re a regenerative orientation & how it connects to my own theoretical work which is far from gardening. Thanks for responding - great to hear.

[@davepenaphd4300]

hmmmmm some people may be sensitive to the solanine and tomatine found in higher concentrations in the leaves. Probably will result in GI issues for some.

[@sandybrownonyt]

Excellent. Keep telling us other leaves we dont usually eat that are edible

[@chelinfusco6403]

I thought tomatoes are in the nightshade family and therefore toxic to eat the plant and flowers. I would be hesitant to do so, but I love tomatoes, that is the fruit. ;-)

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Yes it is, but the leaves are certainly edible as a cooked green.

[@chelinfusco6403]

@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife Oh, I see, cooked. Would they require blanching?

[@orsolyasalzberg2515]

I thought tomato leaves are toxic. Are you sure we can eat them?

[@mjk9388]

I thought the same, but after doing some research on Google it appears that they are. I just wouldn't eat a pound of the leaves. Here's a good article: www.thekitchn.com/are-tomato-leaves-actually-poisonous-222259

[@annCRP]

Did you say you can eat a tomato plant?

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Yes - add the young leaves into things like pasta sauce etc
