Watch This Before Growing Everglades Tomatoes - How To Grow Heat Tolerant Tomatoes In Hot Climates

[@calabiyau-ib9hp]

You’re my new best friend! I AM the Jon Snow of growing edibles AND I’m 10a too. Have ordered these tomatoes as would love to try and fill in some underdeveloped areas of my garden. 🤞

[@JerrasGarden]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@zerodeconduite804]

I meant to say in my last comment, I really appreciate that you state information - no click bait, no ridiculousness/gimmick editing, and no music. Thank you!

[@sandrad682]

I add them to my focaccia!

[@AP_farm_agriculture]

You're doing such a great job at showing everyone the way you see the world! Thank you for this!

[@JerrasGarden]

Thank you so much!

[@Bword2384]

My Everglades seeds I bought from her online store are growing great!

[@JerrasGarden]

Yay! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

[@bowtielife]

Oh my!! I just discovered these last year and saved seed for this year just today! I could not believe how many we got off 2 plants! We were practically overrun with them. ❤ LOVE em!

[@JerrasGarden]

Exactly! That's why I love to grow them.

[@bowtielife]

@@JerrasGarden we are in Destin and got a couple minor freezes like we do most years. I’m on the line between 9a and 9b according to the new map but wow!!! Production is the best I’ve ever seen on any tomato in this area! …and so many! 🤩 Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Just started growing some Everglades tomatoes in my hydroponic garden, it took only 5 days to see some growth and now they are about 2 inches tall. So glad I found this video for all the best tips and tricks

[@JerrasGarden]

Wonderful!

[@glohstr1]

I grow them in Western Michigan. I had a plant grow from one planted the previous year!

[@angiecoffaro2886]

Best video on these tomatoes I've seen. Everything you need to know and right to the point!! I wish I had run across this video when I first started growing these tomatoes. I love them for all the reasons you explained in your video.

[@TheCrazeenana]

I recently came across a video that you were giving a tour of your garden. I really loved that❤. Would love to see more garden tours of your garden.😂I love your videos and classes😁

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks! More tours coming soon.

[@TheCrazeenana]

@@JerrasGardenI’m watching this over as you see😂

[@1boortzfan]

I've been watching Fl gardening videos for weeks now, I just subscribed to your channel tonight and I ordered some of your seeds. Your videos are great.

[@JerrasGarden]

Hello and welcome! Happy to share my knowledge.

[@gunnarbach103]

This video was sooo informative and helpful! Thank you 😊

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheChristinaJo]

I’m excited to grow the seeds I’ve gotten from you!

[@Harmonylovess]

I’m overly excited as well!!!

[@JerrasGarden]

Yay! I'm sure you will enjoy them as much as I do.

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks! Make sure to tag me in your harvest pics when the time comes. I love to see how my seeds/plants are growing in other gardens.

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I use these tomatoes when making chili, in tomato sauce, and to make a tomato, garlic, and basil marinara sauce, as well as putting them into all kinds of salad. I just love them 💕.

[@SirSoylent]

Nice video. Lots of information. Enjoying my first harvest of EGT’s and I like them! Not a huge tomato fan but these are sweet and just the right size for me…when I can get them before the birds do. 😉

[@marlysmithsonian5746]

New sub!! I just bought Everglades tomato seeds and I put seeds in the plastic containers from grocery stores, the ones that have a plastic lid attached, like from the bakery. I clean it out and put potting soil and plant seeds, I water it gently, drops of water off my hand and close the lid and tape it shut. I put it in the window of my "florida room", my greenhouse. I just had 7 come up and I plant them in the double solo cups. I do this with all my seeds and finally getting really good amount of plants. I fertilize after the second set of leaves appear and then, plant in their "home" when they have the root system exactly like you have. I do have the black stuff near the top of my Early Girl tomatoes. Gonna have to get something to take care of it. Thank you for the info!!

[@tombauer7330]

Jerra, excellent tutorial. Bought some Everglade seeds from you. they have already popped out little thin leggy plants. Looking forward to getting them into the ground after last frost in 9B just up the road from you. I have two spots where they could be planted, one is morning sun (east side of house) and the other is afternoon sun (west side of house). After watching this video I"m leaning toward the east (cool) side of the house. the west side is a cooker in the afternoon. The east side still gets 5-7 hours of direct sun. Am I on the right track? Thanks again for the great videos. You spew out so much information that I find that I have to watch the same video about 3 times to get it all! Good teaching tool.

[@UncleAdamsVegetarianKitchen]

I grew something like this in Michigan called Spoon Tomatoes. They spread quite aggressively. I agree, they are great in a Lemon pasta and salads.

[@JerrasGarden]

I have heard of spoon tomatoes. They are different cultivars, but I think Everglades tomatoes are a little bigger.

[@lisawilliams9980]

This is one of my favorite tomatoes. I live in North FL, so I can grow them in the garden until the our frost. Now that I have a greenhouse, I will have a couple plants in containers and leave them in the greenhouse house for year round tomatoes.

[@JerrasGarden]

Good idea to build a greenhouse

[@Art-jl6pt]

Thank you for video i’m very impressed with this variety of cherry tomato -first time growing this year -Used solo cups for germination under 24 hour light-they were up in 10 days-Rock sulfate is a must win transplanting -good stuff -I Got 50+ on my two plants growing in 10 gallon bag with used soil.- w cow manure - i put it on broken lawn chair-looks cool-almost ready to pick-covering with net to keep birds from getting them- have to water them 3 times a day - afternoon shade is working well- zone 8

[@rosebutler1328]

I managed to get them to grow in Montana

[@JerrasGarden]

Nice! Guess it can tolerate a lot of different climates.

[@bethb8276]

Excellent and detailed information as always! After hearing what you make with them I'd actually love to see some cooking videos by you as well! Thanks for all of your help with my gardening! ❤

[@JerrasGarden]

I plan on making more cooking videos. Especially for the lesser known things that I grow in my garden.

[@bethb8276]

@@JerrasGarden Wonderful!

[@kathycook1686]

learned alot,,, thank you..

[@TheCrazeenana]

The heat kills my tomatoes every year I live in Florida 10b. Started these seeds this yr. I was having trouble starting these seeds it was 10 days so I threw a few in a planter that I have our Fl soil in. They germinated within a week only one germinated the first round so far.

[@EseLocoDrO]

Awesome! Thanks Jerra

[@JerrasGarden]

Glad you liked it!

[@iceon-you]

Excellent teacher

[@JerrasGarden]

Thank you! 😃

[@sewpretty13]

Thanks for these tips. I always learn something. It was interesting that you freeze the tomatoes until you have enough. My biggest problem with the Everglades tomatoes last year was the birds. They LOVED the tomatoes. So I did buy netting. That also helped with my second problem which is the caterpillar moth. They can eat a plant overnight if I don't catch them immediately, Ii enjoyed this video and seeing how big your tomatoes are. and that you can keep them year-round.

[@JerrasGarden]

Yes the birds do love to eat them!

[@grasssnake3826]

these have the flavor i love but really small and kinda delicate.

[@JerrasGarden]

True but very useful

[@legauxmc]

Just ordered seeds of the everglade tomatoes Thanks

[@JerrasGarden]

Hope you enjoy

[@isabelladavis1363]

Looks like I need to try these out small sweet seem to be ever bearing the perfect snack they won’t make it inside lol… thanks so much for sharing

[@Harmonylovess]

Absolutely love your videos! Do you have a “hardening off” process or have a video on it? I would love for you to expound your knowledge on that.

[@JerrasGarden]

I just bring seedlings out into a spot that gets morning sun for a few days and then usually they are ok.

[@SpaceCoastHarvest]

this is a great video! I'm going to try some everglades tomatoes.. I have them in seed starting cells now and they're about 6 inches tall. Do you think it would be ok if I transplant them in June or July? I'm in Melbourne

[@darenhubschmidt5667]

I just planted them indoors in delaware

[@susanharris3960]

Thank you for the info so very helpful

[@JerrasGarden]

You are so welcome!

[@EbikeReviews]

I am in 10a and have tried twice. Waited well over 30 days and still nothing. I was trying to germinate them in a 5 gallon bucket that is watered daily. Guess I will try the cup and heat mat trick to see if I can speed things up. Thanks.

[@JerrasGarden]

For some reason they can take forever, but the heat mats and grow lights help.

[@CHICHISWEETS]

My fav little fresh eating tomato 🍅! I wish someone could make a saladette size tomato w/ the flavor of Everglade. I grow these in 10-15 gall containers. I have found the seedlings 🌱 easy to start inside. The main problem in my yard is aphids, so all my veggies need to be sprayed.

[@monicaeaton8860]

Can these be grown in containers or is that not recommended? How deep do the roots get? Thanks for another awesome video!!

[@JerrasGarden]

Yes you can! I would grow them in at least a 5 gallon size container. They will sprawl out all over the place.

[@Hindukushsailing]

👍👍🤙🤙

[@patrickbaker6140]

They sound as if they are pretty close to Red Centiflor . I grew Red Centiflor last year and I had to give 1/2 of them away . Couldn’t keep up with them

[@JerrasGarden]

Similar but not the same cultivar

[@coreyellerbe]

I've tried growing them in the shade and the sun, I've tried growing them in pots and in the ground, I've tried watering well and neglecting them, I've tried letting them sprawl and trellising them, I've tried growing them from seed and from cutting. Nothing has worked. I've yet to experience this "easy to grow tomato" that everyone talks about.

[@lisafahrner8257]

This has nothing to do with tomatoes. Can I grow lettuce in the same place? I’m in SW Florida.Im so sorry, I forgot to add. I grew lettuce in my grow bag. Can I grow more lettuce in the same place after I clean it out?

[@JerrasGarden]

Yes you can grow lettuce under your tomato plants. Might be kind of too late in the season for SW FL though. Its getting hot very quick.

[@valchris11]

Once you plant it, you wont get rid of it.

[@JerrasGarden]

Yep and that is totally fine with me 😄

[@i1bike]

its irrelevant wether plant can survive heat, cuz its not the heat that kills tomatoes, but shieldbug that arrives in the autumn
