One of my established Tomato plants snapped in half from 30 mph winds I just shoved the broken half back into the ground because it happened last year and I had double the harvest

The beauty of tomatoes Patricia!! :-)

I never would have guessed on my own about the watering affecting the roots. Thank you for this video!

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

Sauce-y quickie Jeff and I love it. Supporting tomatoes will most definitely help improve yield, air flow (which helps keep pests off) and make sure nutrients are reaching every part of that growing powerhouse.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

So true Sandy....and taking off the lower leaves.....so many different tips. I needed to make 3 Quickies to cover them all!

[@sandyhayden-bristow1382]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Ok, sounds good to me! lol (I forget often to trim off those bottom leaves)

It's gonna be a booming year for the Romas this year !! I planted extra seeds I saved from last year in case some decided not to germinate, every one of them did so I've got tomato plants in almost every veggie and flowerbed on the property LOL And that's after giving lots away to friends and neighbours

Down here in Costa Rica, you can't find 6 paks of tomatoes. So I dig a hole and drop 3 seeds in and hope for a harvest. So far so good.

My mistake this year...living in an area where it decided to monsoon for 10 straight days drowning all my tomatoes.

[@tammyohlsson7966]

You must be n Texas. Me too!!!

[@bigoljoe1829]

I'm in Houston TX. It's been raining all week long. I hate to complain about the rain but i got a container garden ans my lemon tree is not happy with all this wet.

[@sslocke]

Beaumont. Yep it was havoc on my garden. Only things that didnt get soaked were the peppers and bush tomatoes i had in bags that I was able to move. Hopefully at least some of my in ground plants make it thru. Really unfortunate since this year everything was booming better than I have ever had before.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Oh noooooo! Even the container ones?

[@waynesell3681]

Question: Where do you get your straw mulch in a bag? Must be chopped up, looks like nice stuff!

[@tomrobards7753]

And early girl ideally produce fruit before any other tomato

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Yes, that is correct, it is one of the earlier varieties....

Hi I reside in Puerto Rico originally from NYC and very interested in planting vegetables. I jumped right into it not studying the many details it entails. I started with planting potatoes and tropical root vegetables in containers, following the steps regarding the contents the soil requires. The potato plants were growing well then within three weeks suddenly the leaves turned all yellow and died the potatoes had formed. I bought a pH testing kit found that the soil lacked NPK nutrients. The same happened the tubers, I salvaged those by transferring them into the ground so far so good, except for a frog that’s nibbling at the plants in which I sprinkled baking soda around them. It appears that I am not giving the soil I purchased enough nutrients I had purchased the combination of top-soil and garden soil. for containers if I was able to find the correct soil. When I purchased the top soil I was told it has compost but now I’m not to sure. I’m requesting your advise I have about 80-lbs. of that soil including soil with a mixture of sand for different types of vegetation (for tubers). The soil is quite an expense for it not to be utilized, can it become beneficial for me. I would appreciate your advice and assistance please and thank you Sir! P.s. I had purchased a small amount of mineral elements you had mentioned about two months ago consisting of rock phosphate, epsom salt, glazer rock dust, etc. just to be ready for what you will advise. 4:27

[@craterinahole]

I need that watering video, please. I still don't have the hang of what infrequent but deep watering means and my tomatoes do show signs of curling leaves. What does it look like when the plant is too dry?

[@yolandariera9369]

Hi Jeff, concerned with my tomatoes they are showing shades of yellowing at 1-1/2 months. The current routine: Transplanted into the larger seedling cells 2 weeks ago, last week fed them fish fertilizer; I realized today Sunday instead of giving them 2-liters when watering I gave 1-liter also I still have them indoors on glow lights. I would appreciate your suggestion(s). Please and thank you Jeff!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

They likely need real sun by this point. Also, most tomato varieties outgrow cells of any size by about a month of age.

[@YayoLife]

Hi Jeff, what brand of straw do you use?

[@shirleyk623]

Jeff, I have two black krim tomato plants that are about 4-5 feet tall without any blossoms. If I trim it off will it "start over" or die off? I'm in central Florida and its getting pretty hot now. Thanks for your help with this question.

You mentioned, 5-7 gallons for a tomato. Was that for a determinate or indeterminate? I thought 10 gallon minimum for a determinate and 20 gallon for an indeterminate? I do use root pouch grow bags, solid as they come.
