Tomato Growing Mistakes - How to Avoid or Fix Them...How to Grow Tomatoes.

[@kathleenzimmerman8227]

I've been following you for YEARS, and, ashamedly admit that I have never taken time to comment, or even say THANK YOU! I have seen more than 90% of your videos & have learned something from EACH & EVERY one!!! SOMEhow, I managed to miss this one until just now. (Unless YT removed my *like* which they are FAMOUS for!) I just heard you say: *We LOVE our plants! They're OUR KIDS!*. Well... I love you even MORE now! I thought I was a weirdo for feeling that way...now I know I'm not the only one!!!🤣 Plants are LIVING and need love & nurturing, just like our kids. Thank you for making me feel normal! AND ... CONGRATULATIONS on your silver YT button!!! You're doing it RIGHT!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!! 🤗😘❤🙏✝️

I feel so lucky to have a neighbor that raises bees! They probably like living beside my garden, too.

[@darknightofthesoul7628]

You have such a kind and gentle soul, my friend. I adore the care and even, affection, you show to your plants. They are living, sentient beings and so appreciate the bond you form with them. Makes my heart smile to see you being you.

[@NextLevelGardening]

Thank you!

Thanks I needed this. New to tomato growing. You can always learn something new even if you are a master gardener.🙂

[@monkeywrench2800]

I will not admit to all the mistakes I've been making, and yet still surprised at how well my poor neglected tomato plants have been doing each year! Thank you for this video. My tomato production is going to rock this year!!

[@denisesc21]

EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch your videos I learn something. I didn’t know you could pollinate by just shaking the stem. Also I’ll be throwing a mound of dirt out there because I forgot to plant deep this year. Thank you. As always great info!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Thank you. I'm so glad about that!

If you are using grow bags you can cut base out 8 inch flower pots then split them down the side cut lower leaves off plant and place pot round and press down into grow bag before filling with compost gives extra root depth and support for plant .

My husband and I just LOVE your videos. We live in New Port Richey, FL which is quite different that the north. Our patio looks like a farm! At night instead of watching the tv, we put your videos on the big screen and really enjoy them. I always keep a pad and paper while watching them to take notes because every video gives us so much knowledge it is hard to remember all of it. Thank you for making these and we hope our tomatoes and peppers will be great this year now that we know what we are doing wrong and right. LOL!!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Thank you!

[@bethwatkins4211]

I've been growing yummy tomatoes for years, but learned new stuff today from Brian. LOVE this!! Thank you!!

[@jgehbinv]

For supporting a tomato, I have had great success using 3/4" pvc pipe cut to 8 feet. You can always add on to it if needed.

[@mrssaunders2]

I'm 2 yrs late however I need this video today😊 My first time growing heirloom tomatoes and I've noticed some things about my plants I didn't like. Thanks for the great tips!

[@Patty-vn8kn]

Never heard about self pollinating. Very helpful. First time tomato grower so I am all ears. Thanks

[@bigsidable]

Yesterday I got so excited to see a big black bumble bee going to each flower. It was just so beautiful too see. I was to slow to get a pic. But it’s the first time this year I saw a bee pollinating my plants.

[@InaWhitcomb]

I need a Brussels sprout info lecture too 😁

[@normanmfakierjr2387]

We plant 42-56 tomatoes every year in a 3' X 3' X 50' very raised bed. I'm going to try really hard this year to hold them past July in Lafayette, La. We're in the 90 degree and 122% humility summer in the deep south. I've pruned them back (my wife says "viciously") and have begun fertilizing the heck out of them. Ooh, we can 45 to 60 quarts of stewed tomatoes every year. THANK YOU FOR TOMATO TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NextLevelGardening]

Wow you're welcome!

[@jacquelineanthony881]

Your garden channel is the only one I watch. I try to watch others but yours is the ONLY best one out there! So excited to hear there will be a seed saving video! Love that you link previous videos as a reference. I had never hand pollinated until I saw your video. My tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and zucchini. Absolutely love this tomatoe session.

[@macycharmin]

Greetings from North TX! I'm a very green beginner in gardening. I just finished watching your video on growing tomatoes in a container. Thank you So Much for being so in-depth with your instructions, you're a great teacher! I'm hoping next year (I think it's way too hot now to start, weeks over 100 degrees with a few daily breaks here and there being around 94-96 degrees). I'm hoping to not have to buy a tasteless grocery store tomato very often again.

[@KC-ro6gm]

When I watch your videos, besides learning a wealth of info, I find that I relax and "come down" from all the craziness that surrounds me in this insane world. THANK YOU!

[@NextLevelGardening]

I appreciate that very much! ❤

Brian, I learn a lot about tomatoes. Thank you for sharing your expertise. My tomato plants started wiltching..

[@simonadunn7168]

I am happy for you and anyone who can harvest beautiful tomatoes. We have many beautiful tomato plants with various sorts of tomatoes. Recently the squirrels attacked our plants and took almost all of the tomatoes that were ready to turn red. We tried everything: fencing and netting, socks holding them up, pinwheels, a dollar store tacky hoola skirt, and finally hot pepper spray. The hot pepper spray worked, but only for two days. We are heartsick. I now have three plants completely wrapped in bird netting. At least they have not attacked my peppers. I hope you get to enjoy a marvelous tomato soon. We buy ours from a pop-up seller.

Yes we love okra: Southern fried, boiled and steamed or microwaved slightly. I planted 6 plants in April. Unfortunately I planted 3 tomato plants in front of them so the okra plants were struggling to get some sunshine. Now that the tomatoes are starting to wane the okra plants are beginning to grow up and making flowers and pods! Ya! I plant Clemson Spineless okra and planted starter plants from one of our local produce & plant providers here in Arlington TX. Thanks for this video too!

[@stephenhope7319]

I have to top my tomatoes. They are 7 feet high and I don't want to get the ladder out each time I pick. I have been growing tomatoes for over 30 years but followed your pruning and aspirin regimen and been fertilizing regularly and pruning to single stem. Lots of tomatoes this year and no problems with blossom end rot or hornworm or lower leaf yellowing,( because I pruned them off! ) Happy with results so far. Interested in your future seed retention videos. I would like to try that.

[@omegaranch6579]

Brian I love your channel - we've gone all in on your advice. We planted late (April 28th) and went exclusively with heirlooms some of which are 7" tall now. We live in East Texas and have already been into the 90's sprinkled with triple digit heat. We started to see leaf curl so I covered them loosely with tyvek - which dropped the temperature dramatically. I have gaps between the sheets and slits cut to let sun, air and rain pass but I'm afraid I've taken them below 6 hours of sun each day - will maybe 10 hours of indirect compensate for the brutal direct sun? Or am I going to stunt their growth with shade? Your "bury deep, with rock phosphate and prune.." strategy made these guys take off like slow-motion bottle rockets - but I've gotta have fruit!

[@kansascityonline]

thanks for the helpful tips... as for my pollination.. my lawn has a ton of clover.. makes it looks nice in summer when most others are spending a fortune making theirs looking lush green.. mine looks more my like a prairie than a well manicured lawn.. I see many pollinators visit... however, my corn collapsed the other day.. yea.. one day its standing and the next day its laying on the ground.. First time thats ever happened to me after all these years.. I talked to a farmer in the middle of Kansas and he advised me on what to do....

[@asharerin]

Prior to chemical fertilizers lawn seed mixes always included clover. They are nitrogen fixing so are great for the lawn. These grass/clover mixes are starting to make a comeback which is great as bees seem to absolutely love clover flowers.

[@joanies6778]

I bought clover to plant in my yard. Haven't planted it yet because it's been so hot.

Here in north Alabama where the summer heat stays 90f plus for weeks in a row I personally never experienced flowers falling off but blight is an issue later in the summer. I do like your single stem method.
