[@kathygunderson2204]

Loved it TY!!!!

[@georgetrusca6214]

HEY DRE! BIG FAN HERE !! IWOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU THE spacing of the red duce tomato plants in the tunnel and outside please and thanks

[@joshh9090]

I’ve know growers at 24 inches. At 18 in and at 15 inches which is what we are at.

[@marialaurel6440]

Beautiful tomatoes...

[@berrymanmontgomery7875]

I would like to see the interior quality of one of those Red Duce.

[@joshh9090]

Red deuce is a beautiful tomato. It’s one of the ones we grow most of every year. Good solids ratio

[@berrymanmontgomery7875]

@@joshh9090 I agree it is "beautiful" on the outside, BUT it is the interior quality that I would like to see.

[@jtimwest]

Insides are great. Good pulp to red ratio and good flavor

[@berrymanmontgomery7875]

I know you don't have much choice when you pick that many tomatoes, BUT, when you refrigerate a tomato you change the flavor. I am in a position when I sell my tomatoes, that I do not have to refrigerate them. For me and my customers it is ALL about flavor.

[@jimwise6901]

Farmer Dre I used master blend like you suggested best harvest in 30 years thanks for tip do you think every 14 days is to much

[@dukedog3423]

Hi Dre,I started using your Master Blend on my field tomatoes and its working great. Are you saving your green ones to sell?

[@aseasonoftomatoes1572]

What’s wrong with the ones you lob over the rows?

[@gardengirl50t30]

They had bad spots on them. Or rot.

[@benjaminorduno8429]

Yo Dre I have a question what where you doing with the other tomatoes that you through across the greenhouse ? Are those bad? And also you can’t use them? Love the vid to man keep it up 👍

[@benjaminorduno8429]

Threw*

[@diannebusch2841]

How far apart do you plant the tomato plants?

[@southgeorgiagal8099]

Farmer Dre getting his hands dirty. I was for certain he just hired people to pick.

[@mantis-mike5882]

I bought these tomatoe seeds from Poland this summer. They're blooming now, but they've only grown to about 6 inches tall, but are completely full of cherry tomatoes. Anybody ever seen anything like that???

[@gardengirl50t30]

What variety? Are they dwarfs?

[@jbarksdale5845]

Those plants are friggin' loaded. What strain and sun hours on the house?

[@philkeller3122]

How often do you fertilize, when your watering? Thanks for the Great videos!

[@joshh9090]

It’s rare that you don’t add a little something when watering. I may only irrigate once a week for a field but I’ll run it for long enough to get an inch and I’ll also add fert

[@linc.b1238]

What causes the marbled yellowing on the leaves? I have a couple plants with this, thought they might have some sort of disease.

[@tapsfordays5548]

Septoria most likely

[@dutchmiller704]

No shade cloth on number 3 ??

[@barbzoellner4896]

What do you use to wax the tomatoes 🍅

[@poloticus2380]

Shot up your heyyy yoooo

[@hopemorrison2367]

If you sell at farmers market why is it important to have number one and number two quality

[@joshh9090]

Nobody will buy a number 2 quality tomato at the higher price. Number 2 will go at a canning price. You have to keep a reputation and quality standard

[@stevehoffman4429]

What are the dimensions of your high tunnels?

[@joshh9090]

They look to be 30x96

[@barbaratiffee2160]

How come you pick the short stems that are left on the tomatoes after you pick them off the plant? I always thought those look kind of pretty 😂🤷

[@joshh9090]

They can damage the other fruits and you’d have to sell them for less

[@johnhall1614]

I know the mulch is to help with weeds, but does it also help keep the top of the tomato from splitting

[@joshh9090]

I’m the field yes. Anything you can do to control the water on your plants will stop them from splitting. When half the plant starts to ripen we cut off the water from then on unless it’s super dry

[@johnhall1614]

@@joshh9090 yeah in my garden I'm having trouble with splitting tops. I'm going to try some mulch around them. Thanks.

[@benjaminorduno8429]

I believe if the Tomato is splitting your over watering

[@johnhall1614]

@@benjaminorduno8429 I have seen the splits around the tomato on the skin, but this is the very top getting deep cracks. Is that a sign of over watering as well

[@benjaminorduno8429]

Yes it a sign of over watering to much rain
