Do you have a link to this container trellis?
I really appreciated your modifications to the original video. You explained it very clearly so that I know exactly what to buy. I will make this trellis to make you jealous. It looks the easiest while still being sturdy.
I call them a hoard and they can be in groups of 50 taking over our streets and yards. They will jump your vehicle, scratching it and pooping all over your property. They are a huge annoyance and multiply like crazy and being protected in my State doesn't help the situation. The males can be extremely aggressive when protecting their females. I've come to dislike turkeys so much!
I enjoy your videos I do not enjoy the music I find it very distracting I like when I just hear you talking without any background music
I like the look of amaranth. I've bought the grain, and I don't like the taste very much, I prefer quinoa, teff, farro, millet, or anything else. The leaves, though edible, have a weird chemical taste to my palette. It is similar to the wild amaranth/hogweed that grows as a weed. Since it is an annual and requires some effort to get going, I will probably not do it again. Our early girl tomatoes were not early, but we have had issues with inconsistent moisture that may be effecting our tomatoes. Our early girls grew well in our area, so we were happy with them. I agree that the cherry tomatoes we have have had much more early production and much more quantitiy.
I need some advice fast...! I've found what look like small squash bugs on a cucumber plant in a large container. I've also found a lot of 2 spot ladybugs on the same plant. Is there a way to eliminate the squash bugs that won't harm the ladybugs...? I'm afraid to spray anything that might be toxic to the ladybugs...HELP...!!!
Will the seed packets and/or online veggie summary at Johnny's etc mention those early vocabulary words? If we're "watching for these options," I'm hoping these are listed during shopping.
I'm form India, I had grown eggplant first when I was 12 😭 ... Honestly i don't like to eat eggplant but i like the plants with fruit 🥰
Mediterania :)
I grow tomatoes indoors with no grow light and they are like 4/5ft tall. I have used grow bloom and micro nutrients though. I have never removed any lower growth and they are all fine i have 11 huge plants and nowhere to put them as i dont have a garden. Ive started growing things at home getting them into seedlings and wild planting in places where nobody goes i take tubs of plants and hope they survive a few hour hike with the dog. But hopefully this time next year i will have had some rewards from the things i planted. I have ADHD and doing plants and messing about helps me hugely i think ive been doing something for 10 mins and ive been at it for hours. I love it
You did not mention leaf miners - a huge problem with Swiss Chard here in the northeast.
They destroyed my Swiss chard last year , too many plants to mention this season so I'm trying white tight mesh covers this fall hoping it stops them while allowing light & rain in.
I’ve struggled to grow cucumbers. My sub-tropical climate in North Florida does them in pretty quickly. Two years ago, I heard about Beit Alpha, and gave it a try. I had more cukes than I knew what to do with. I was thrilled and thought I had cracked the code. The next spring, I was late planting, and they all got fungus, mildew and wilt before they produced the first cuke. I’ll try to get them going next spring before it gets too hot. We’ll see.
I had been told to cut the leaf branches after the first two or three leaves so that they were not shading the plant. Is this something that you do ever?
Very nice and beautiful ❤️ 😍 🤩 👌 Thank you ❤️ 😍 🤩 👌 Subscribed
I used the big sized tomato cages for my tomatillo plants and they got so big and heavy with fruit, that the wind bent them right over….cage and all.
Thanks for the update my first time I will prepare my two plants I have I live in Guyana very sunny
I’m an impulse buyer also. Last fall I bought 2 bushes and then in spring another 7. I live in N Alabama with very clay soil. I knew nothing and this summer they all produced and I did not stop them. However the grass is growing all around them. Do you think I should add soil, peat moss, and can’t recall the third thing you recommended, but add all that to the top? I did add the Jobbs soil acidified a couple months back. I also think they may have copper fungus. I was thinking buying a tree ring, adding the 3 soil things, and pine needles to the top. (I have lots of pine needles) Do you think that’ll work? Also, do you get your soil tested for the PH?
I have been growing them for decades and never had a problem with this But this year I read it would be good for them to put a little oatmeal around them. I did that and I have not had a tomatoes yet on an otherwise healthy looking plant. I have a love hate relationship with the internet, that was bad advice for me
Just discovered your channel. New subscriber here. What's the best season to plant strawberry seeds in Ireland? TIA
Very clear and simple.
This year I have probably grown the healthiest and most robust aubergine plants I have ever cultivated, in a polytunnel, 18 inches or 2 ft apart in a double row, 15 metres long, in good fertile greenhouse soil. I have kept them watered regularly and they are now a forest of foliage around a metre tall. As you could probably tell me, having seen your video, I do however have NO fruit, other than two absolute beauties from the F1 plants at the very end of the row. I know now that I will need to ruthlessly prune the plants next year to three or so main stems and keep the sideshoots pruned constantly but is there anything I can do NOW, almost the end of August, to ensure that at least I get some fruit from what is already there? Some flowers are forming at the very tops of the plants now but the rest is just dense impenetrable foliage. Would it help to ruthlessly take off all bar three or so main stems now? I am worried such drastic pruning so late might just kill the plants at this stage. What would you do? I just leave my 'hedge' in place will they produce some late fruit at the very top?
When I had a large plot of land, I planted pumpkin seeds with corn seeds, just for the heck of it both grew very large and wide and packed that had a sea of pumpkin leaves, and trees of corn for the deer to eat. I had so many little baby pumpkins out here that my kids school that I had enough to give every child one pumpkin at mu son’s school. That’s like 300 plus. Now I have a smaller plot and I’ve been using containers. I tried pumpkins in the back corner, but didn’t work because there’s no airflow. I have this idea I might grow them against the fence so they have something to climb. I do have some volunteer growing the corners that squirrel dropped and I’m just letting them go for the heck
I wondered why my zucchini in my planters keep weeping when I watered them so well or we had a huge rain fall the day before! Strange plant. I have one with 2 growing zucchini’s now.
Would you grow this in pots indoors? I have some seedlings started but it's already late summer in vancouver and I'll be losing the sun pretty fast
Was warned by many people about zucchinis producing like mad... so I made the mistake of planting only ONE. The plant was actually doing great, and bugs and diseases have left it alone, but at some point it sort of tilted over and the main stem broke right underneath the few first small roots (I closely examined it and there was no sign of burrower damage or presence whatsoever). Well, to my surprise, the plant not only survived but sprouted a WHOLE NEW plant from its main stem. The older plant never produced anything and is now starting to wilt, but the new clone is now filled with zucchinis! Better late than never I guess!

Amazing video!
Please let me know the best fertilizer for tomato plants. I grow tomato plants but the problem is that the flowers are not forming any tomatoes. Thank you. Happy gardening.
Great informative video! So thorough! I learned soooo much! 🍅 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 Subscribed!
i have problems with the cabbage moths. they love chard. i stopped growing because of the moths. any ideas about how to stop them from destroying my plants?
I'm watching the video and captivated by the amount of information being provided that your mini reminder to like and subscribe reminded me to do just that.
I stopped pruning like this quite a few years ago. I mostly prune to just remove some density of the plant and whatever leaves are close to the ground now. At a certain point in the season about 3 weeks before the end of the season I top much of the plant and it puts its energy towards the tomatoes. This gives me huge tomatoes and quite a lot of them. I have had a single indeterminate fill a plastic laundry basket about halfway at harvest. I only plant about 10 plants and they produce enough tomatoes for me to make a couple dozen jars of salsa, and a bunch of sauce and enough to eat fresh for nearly 4 months. I pick them green and they ripen slowly over the winter. I also don't support them much.. They flop over and root and I've found this to give more fruit as well. I think people need to be willing to experiment in the garden. Especially for their setups. I kept being told the suckers are the enemy and kept believing it. But there's nuance to it. Some of them are the enemy. Others turn into more solar panels that feed energy into the plant. And that's a common sense thing. You are removing new leaves which help the plant grow faster and make tomatoes faster, you are also removing new flowers this way too. You just don't want it going absolutely wild because it gets diseases easier. My plants are about 3x bigger pruning this way.. and I get at least double what I used to at harvest. Tomatoes want to be quite large. I think the single leader method can help in some cases, but I don't think its giving the best result for most. Suckers aren't the enemy. I think the ones that hurt the plant are the ones that form in locations that can't get any light or airflow. Removing those and leaving others seems to have been the best result for me. I've been growing tomatoes for about 12 years now. I try different methods each year and this has been the best result so far. I believe they were pruned like this so that they were easy to support and they looked nice. Not because its the best way to grow them. Since my bigger, multi-stemmed tomatoes have outperformed them every single time.
I have a small pear tomato that cross pollinated with another tomatoes so these tomatoes are a Larger Pear but the size of a small Roma. I bought this from the guy who it actually cross-pollinated for. I forget what he named it it doesn't exist anywhere so I'm growing it for seeds. How would you prume this?
Great advice! New subscriber
I gotta plant my 2025 tomatoes either in soil in my already limited garden or in bigger containers > 5 gallons!
I like how you dialed in on the heirlooms producing better. Great editing.

I commented but forgot to tell you I’m going to try perennials inside in trays to plant before hard frost here in Indiana.
Are indoor trays good with climate control domes? Also,water from the bottom tray it sits in?
What's the best way to keep the deer away? They will murder this plant in my city.
Lose the music. It is stupid and distracting. Speak a little more slowly too..
I'm thinking that the store bought seeds are designed for BER.
With limited space, sure. Makes no sense otherwise. Pollinating tomatoes? Why? Way too much time spent on pruning and pollinating. I grow monster plants with none of the issues you describe. Just got to build the right cage/trellis set up, keep airflow good, let your pollinator friends do the rest of the work.
I have roma tomatoe plants, and Google says they can be both determinate or indeterminate, not to mention they're all growing in the same pot, there's flowers but they're not blooming... idk what to do, and the last summer month in my state is September, I'm worried my plants will die before I get any fruit. /.\ Edit: I have 3 gallon pots on the way from Amazon.
