I used to think my Dad was a genius. He could do anything. Then I grew up. I'm a senior citizen now and he's been gone for many years. And what I learned along the way is that he wasn't a genius. He was just someone who wasn't afraid to try. He wasn't afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. He could do plumbing, electrical, carpentry, work on his own vehicles and tools. He was self-taught and he learned along the way. I applaud your courage to try, and I think you did a pretty good job. Take the win!

[@truthtalker4038]

That's so sweet

[@SaltwaterMom3]

Is it bad that I love this video? Not because it was a fail, but because you spent the entire day together figuring it out and laughing through the process. That’s a win to me! 🌸🌿 🌺 🪴

[@New-Hat-Gardening]

Secret to a lasting marriage 🫶🏼

[@marybeth4002]

Well, I'm still calling it a success! Your video included all the key ingredients - sunshine, laughter and spending time with Brent. And in the end you had 3 completed cages/trellises that do look nice. Mathemagician or not, I'm still impressed 👍👍

[@SaltwaterMom3]

Well said, I totally agree! I should’ve read the comments before I made my post! 😊

[@AnninAshby]

They look good!

[@Carmen-ok]

My thoughts exactly! 👍🏻 😊

[@annwoleben5439]

You and Brent are hilarious. This is one of your best "how not to" videos. I think the cages look great and still better than $100 each.

[@carlarivas1238]

My grandma used to remind me that my middle name is not “perfect” and that being brave to try something new builds character. You and Brent have a lot of character! Good job and thanks for the authenticity.

[@JoMorgan-ct6bh]

The biggest failure is not attempting anything, the first step to success is doing,even if it turns out a "failure". Every success story started out with failing and trying. Don't give up and be proud of your accomplishments no matter how small.

[@theresaburg5881]

We learn the most when things don't turn out as expected. I think they all look great.

[@bekki4499]

11:10 “we come into the tomato cage”😂😂😂 this video was brilliant I loved every minute! Thanks Robbie and Brent 😄

[@taragoodloe4122]

Robbie oh how I love you and your videos. Love how you keep it real and make me laugh. I think you are to hard on yourself. Thanks for making me smile.😊

[@darlenencambria]

Gardening is all about learning. I love your project. You found a new and creative use for each one. 🌻🧡

[@shellslaraine9295]

I think the tomato cages look great, all mine get is a stick for support !

[@daveymcteer6804]

I spit my coffee laughing so hard. Love it. Keeping it real. Me and my hubs relate to garden shenanigans!! ❤

[@melaniepagel5521]

You both are so much fun it makes me happy to watch!!!😊

[@darrylinosborn2783]

No worries...this was the best! You guys worked it out and shared it with us. The best example of true gardening. Loved it!

[@barbarabaldwin9556]

I love you just being you. Bring perfect all the time is boring. I thought you were going to paint them....and I'm so glad Brent is feeling better about being in your videos 🎉

[@jenniferhooks2454]

The tomato cages were an experiment. Experiments are trial and error. You learned what did and didn't work. That's a win in my book.

[@cynthiafitzgerald1679]

A chuckle first thing in the morning is a good thing. Thank you!!

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Man these cages looked so darn good! One thing I can say is I loved the effort put into these Robbie. The sense of humor made all the difference so I say this is a WIN-WIN😅😅😅

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Brent and Robbie ! Yes I mentioned Brent first because I KNOW that he doesn’t like to be on camera. 😊💐💚🙃

[@sandykoenig1666]

I enjoyed hearing Brent laughing in the background.

[@TheBking01]

Hi Robbie , hey I’m impressed you’re trying to make your own. I think they should do the job. This was a good video 😊

[@Vinevy]

Great video! I think your tomato cages are perfect! Love the laughs and the fact that you show us that perfection isn’t always necessary. Keep it real guys😎❤️

[@jennsmith4832]

So much better than the shows that everything is done/given to them. You're the first channel I go to.

[@elaineleduc7948]

I like them. They will be useful as support for roses and all climbing plants as well.

[@dianelybarger6194]

Love this video! It shows what regular folks go thru when making something they have never done before. Since you are both uninjured and still smiling, I would say it was a great success! Love your sense of humor.

[@lyonhawaii]

Right! We are so glad you both tackle these ideas and learn from them. Give us all courage to try and try again. Nothing is wasted if we learn along the way.

[@ellenzinner]

Your tomato cages look fabulous. You did them your way. They look rustic. Don't beat yourselves up.

[@kbell8889]

Love so much that you posted this for us! 💚 They really do look great. Hope they make you smile each season you put them to use.

[@grammysharon66]

I love the tomato cages. If you spray them black they will also be garden art. Great structures😊

[@chrisstef8004]

Beans or peas would probably be love crawling on your masterpieces..🫛🫘...the onions hanging on them good idea for circulation..🧅🧅🧅👍

[@SaltwaterMom3]

I was thinkjng that too. Multi purpose, so they get their money’s worth. There is no way I could do that on my tomato cages. 😂

[@christinetrewin9717]

Hilarious….reminds me of our building an obelisk, it was in kit form. Only problem the instructions were in Polish..we powered through though and finally got it done. Your cages look great things like that are a learning curve after all 😀🇫🇷👩‍🌾🐓

[@thieolawilliamson7459]

I totally enjoyed this video. 😅😊

[@yesymo9]

DIYing is life, take the wins because it works the purpose!! I think you guys did a great job 👏🏼

[@redalert7777]

You may hate them, but I think they still turned out great!! And WAY better than spending $100 each!

[@dorothytefelski5659]

You an Brent did a great job! Enjoyed watching the project finished with good results, don't be hard on yourselves, at least you tackled it. ❤😅

[@SunshineShellz]

Brent- nice to see you so much today😃

[@peggy-ann1961]

That was a blast…they look good to me! Loved the chicken laughing at you 🐓😂🇨🇦

[@catfromillinois6646]

I actually loved this video. Makes us all human when we can't do it all. Your laughter was the best part of it, don't have a melt down, in the grand scheme of things it turned out ok. Enjoy, laugh and love the little things. 🥰

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

They look good and your garden is stunning.

[@sandistolle4874]

Hey, you had some lessons learned and some laughs along the way. Take that. Placement tip: Use your small auger to get the holes for the legs. Place the cage and backfill.

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

Sometimes it takes a few times to get it right, I think they came out fine, even though different each one worked out, probably better to not paint. Enjoyed seeing you both work on this project, glad Brent is getting less camera shy ❤😊

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Robbie and Brent! This was such a fun video! I loved the banter between you two, and all of the laughter. It's not really a fail because you were still able to use all of the cages. Kudos for making it work. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Don-ju9zv]

My husband can design, build, execute anything. I just keep trying! Never give up because those small wins do add up!

[@judymckerrow6720]

You could start another channel, the Robbie and Brent comedy hour, you guys are funny ! 💐💚🙃 Robbie with your giggle and Brent inserting his humor , you definitely made me smile today ! 💐💚🙃

[@maryjennison7801]

Hi Robbie. I liked that you still posted your video, even though it was a a "fail". That's what life is about. Learning from our fails. You gave it a good try and you were still able to adjust and still use your cages. So good for you! And thank you for being real! Love watching your show. You make me happy.

[@bevjensen2278]

OMG that was so much fun! And I learned a new word! Too many people are too serious and you guys just put life into total perspective with your ability to laugh at yourselves and keep on figuring it out when something goes wrong. You provided a laugh out loud experience for every one of us as we "saw ourselves" in today's project! I must admit I wondered if tomatoes grow to almost 6', not being a tomato gardener, and was pleasantly surprised to see how tall that tomato is already, once the "cage" was put in place. Thanks for making our Sunday!

[@lindylou3519]

lol…I was watching going “just get the nicer sturdier black wire tomatoe cages.” I’ve had mine for a few years & really like them.

[@judyhendrix812]

Well that was entertaining!! You are too fun.

[@CarolMalcomb-s4u]

I think the tomato supports are fine will serve the purpose. You two didn’t give up. 😊

[@rachaelbrown1726]

I bet you guys are so fun to hang out with! 😂 They look great!

[@susanlateano4202]

Real gardening!! Love the videos ❤

[@kippidayton]

😂😂😂 I love that you posted it anyway. You’re so real and honest. Gardening and life isn’t always perfect.

[@gracieshomeandgardens5089]

Robbie this is a fun video. The tomato cages is perfectly fine.😊❤❤❤❤

[@brendao185]

You guys are hilarious!! Came out so good though ❤

[@waureenkyriacou5056]

hi Robbie , this video was fantastic, you did exactly what everyone under the sun does... you did your best and " it'll do in a pinch "....it looks fine , has a rustic look about it and it will do what it's supposed to .... hold up the tomato plants .....sadly your frustration was entertaining ( sorry ) I wouldn't paint them either , they look good as is...job well done

[@stefmcclure9386]

You guys made my morning! 😂 We have all been there at some time. The cages look great in the end ❤

[@kathrynmoore1756]

Hey! They still look great! You don’t learn without making mistakes. Nice to see Brent in the video too!

[@jolynnhuber5066]

So funny! In the end, they look great!

[@debbiekopy530]

Robbie and Brent they work! That’s all that matters! I love them and your tomatoes and squash do too!

[@stefaniaking3651]

I love love love your tomato cages. I think they turned out great! This is exactly what I've been wanting to build. Thank you for inspiring me. I have a bunch of 1x2 furling strips I can use. I'll build a few cages and stain them a Grey black.

[@lisabanasiak1198]

I thought the tomato cages were wonderful! I loved all of them!

[@alicat_vixen]

It IS a success!! They are beautiful. Loved this video 🥰

[@wendyhallam3870]

Best video! Super entertaing, shows determination and a carefree attitude. I may even try to build something like this down the road

[@CarolynRedpath]

😂😂😂 I actually like the cages! You should still paint them, I think! Remember the old adage, “If at first you dont succeed, Try, Try, again! You got them done and they look good!!♥️♥️♥️

[@gaylerichards7409]

Funny video. Glad you can use the cages.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

No, this was NOT a garden fail... it was a great learning experience... as well as a very relatable video for all of us self-taught carpenters/gardeners! Besides, it was a lot of fun to watch. I loved it!

[@sandykoenig1666]

I absolutely loved this video, as the lady below my comment said her dad was not afraid to try and not afraid to make mistakes. You gave me a lot of fun laughter not at you with you and I learned something about tomato cages, keep buying the metal wire ones we have, easier but not as much fun as you two.😄

[@VickiesGardenEvolution]

I think they turned out great, and you put them each to use in their own way - win in my book. This is the kind of story that, as a couple, you'll laugh about it later 😂 Even if it was frustrating in the moment.

[@quailhollow7955]

I think you are too hard on yourselves!! I love these!! And the big one would be great for a climbing rose or clematis, maybe with a little chicken wire for the clematis. Love this project!!

[@judymckerrow6720]

We’re supposed to be in the 90’s all week here in SW Michigan, while that’s probably not hot for you we get humidity with our heat 🥵 and it makes it ALMOST unbearable . I’m going to have to keep an eagle eye on my new garden, we haven’t had ANY decent rain for WEEKS . Thank you Lord I got it all mulched before the heat hit. Well almost all of it about a quarter more to go but it still needs work before I can lay down mulch and not much is planted in that area. Hopefully I can keep things hydrated 🤞🏻. I’m picking up a hibiscus I had on order from Garden Crossings tomorrow, hopefully I don’t find anything else but if I do I can justify it, it’s our 52nd wedding Anniversary tomorrow so who knows 🤭💐💚🙃

[@helenparsons6533]

I think they look awesome! Maybe paint them but they look good either way! Great job! It's better than i could do!

[@valautolady358]

Definitely not a fail…not what you had planned maybe but still useable and functional. Well done!

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Hey Robbie, it’s all good 👍🏽 no one’s born knowing how to do things. We learn as we go. 😁

[@ellejolichaine140]

Tomatoes can grow into huge bushes. Any size cage you and Brent can make, at a non-expert level, is absolutely perfect. It's better than not having any cages at all. Besides, practice makes perfect. Even though they don't have to be. I would use your cages for other fruit producing vines. It's a win Robbie.

[@jennsmith4832]

Love the show, finally hear Brent's voice and the laughter. But Robbie, wire cages, maybe $10 and they come in colors or paint.

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Actually, that was a lot more educational than if you had done it perfectly the first time. Good job!

[@gardensglory1229]

Robbie you are just such a hoot! You make me laugh out loud almost every video! That’s why we like you so much! Deanna

[@eleanorcapulong8781]

I think they look awesome! Happy growing!

[@kareenwilliams5099]

It was still fun to see you try it encourage me to keep going

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Design on the fly….then laugh it off . Perfect.

[@pinetreesnflowers]

Looks great!👍

[@kathyv3909]

I'm not sure what is so awful about them, I think they came out great. But I do understand not aligning with your own vision. I feel refreshed and happy after watching your video. Definitely one of my top three favorites.

[@AGloriousLife]

They turned out well! (although, it sounded as if your chicken was laughing at you toward the end...LOL.)

[@debrawhyatt8266]

Just when I thought you were a man of many talents, it all went pear-shaped 😂 great entertainment-well done 😊

[@tinaroller1741]

I think they’re great! 💚👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jeanniecarroll9119]

They look great !!! Don't be so hard on yourselves I would totally duplicate this design. ❤

[@sydneykasmar]

Tomatoes naturally grow along the ground. We train them to grow upright for a better crop.

[@5262janna]

Best gardening video! This is how it goes for the rest of us so we get it.😂

[@sandrabradbury4348]

So hilarious. At around 12:27 it sounds like your chickens are laughing at you. Made me laugh out loud!

[@cindyannefontenot]

It’s Fine! It’s all just fine!! Seriously, it’s fine. ❤❤❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Brent, it turned out very nice. Robbie yours is alright too, I would use both of them, maybe not in the same area because they do look different but I would definitely use both of them. 💐💚🙃 I need to amend my statement, I LOVE all of them ! They would look so cool in my garden ! Does anyone even use the word cool anymore ? 💐💚🙃

[@nancylafferty8362]

lol… I actually love them! Pant them black and use them!!

[@kimmietomlinson3652]

I think they are wonderful!

[@serenityphotographs]

Still came out great and I always get a laugh …….❤️

[@AngieSalinas-dy6bj]

That’s what gardening is all about never a fail, just time spent making memories. ❤️

[@carolmarsden1079]

Hi Robbie & Brent, I loved this,, you made me laugh so much,, I loved when Brent was humming that song, I call it the umper lumper song,,, so funny,, as he was saying the wood was shorter 😂,, well it all is going well here said Robbie 😂😅, Not a mathematician !! I'm crying by this time,, Robbie and Brent you got there in the end, what fun along the way , Worst project Robbie ?? It was brilliant I loved it ,,, and your tomato cage's ended up good,, xx 🌹. 🍅🍅. ❤

[@DebbieJenkins-jn1dh]

They are great! You did the math so you know where things are not perfect. We don’t see it. I’m inspired.

[@camillesouthwell3161]

Don’t knock yourself, it’s surely going to do the job. Looks great .

[@lizporter4252]

I think they look great!

[@elizabethbutterfly6572]

They’re actually nice. I like them.

[@grettamcbean258]

Robbie if all doesn’t work out in the garden go into Comedy. You and Brent make a great team. 😂😂
