You’re so sweet! I love the patience you have with your son. I know what it’s like when kids are talking, playing or yelling while recording and instead of being frustrated you made him feel involved. Love this video. Thank you for Tom tips because I needed them!
Around here where I live... At the end of the season pepper plants while they are still alive prune them back and take off all the leaves and transplant into a 1 gallon flower pot and keep them in a dark cool place for the winter they'll last and you can plant them back in the spring and they'll get bigger and produce more every year you keep them
Oh interesting!
how many plants per 1 gallon pot?
That was an extremely informative video and thank you for thinking about using our own resources to help our food grow!
i say the pot is TOO Small,,Your potting mix worked fine until the root ball filled the container and chokes the feeders from nutrients. Just 1 plant in a 5 gallon or 20 liter bucket is as small as You wanna try. Good Luck and GOD BLESS The Child🙏🏼🏅
I often mix do a 50/50 mix of cheap potting mix and my own compost and don't have the same problem. I used too though.
Oh that is a good idea!
Thank goodness I found this a few months ago. I did what you suggested and my plant came back! I fertilize on Thursday instead of Friday though. And now we have flowers soon to be tomatoes! My grandbaby is so excited. Thank you so much.
There are soil bacteria that will cause wilting problems when the temps get above 85. They get up into the stalk and choke off the Viens that supply water and nutrition. Especially here in Florida. Damaged roots from transplanting during the growing process can make them suceptable to this bacteria. It will also happen if soil is to moist all the time. Try watering less. I'm going to grind up a aspirin per plant and water it in to relieve some stress that occurs from drastic temp changes and just overall stress that happens when they start producing fruit and demand enormous amount of nutrition. I had to deal with blossom rot already early in the growth thank God. I dumped a half gallon of whole milk into each pot to get calcium replenished immediately. Then I put calcium rich fertilizer on them that broke down naturally and was absorbed. Look at the label and make sure on miracle grow that you get the type for tomatoes specifically. The other ones don't have any calcium in it. The first course of fruit on the lower level will suck up all the calcium and the next course of fruit will not get any and will cause blossom rot. So make sure when your mixing your soil to plant in, that you add calcium rich fertilizer. It scared me . I thought I'd lost the whole crop on my first attempt at growing tomatoes. My plants are huge , green and healthy now. Full of beautiful big green tomatoes.
Biggest issue over all I would think is lack of nutrient/fertiliser. Those pots are to small, hence the amount of nutrient in that soil is lacking for the size of the plant. Being root bound could be another issue, being in those small pots. I use nothing less than a 20lt pot no matter what type of Tom I'm growing. All the way up to 80lt pots as well.
Thank you so much!! We go to the beach in October I am bringing home sesweed
Thank you so much ma , I'm currently experiencing samilar case now.......
Thank you and bless you. I've got hot full sun and my gorgeous plants are growing and i think getting burned the sun and spreading with water
Love compost teas 👍🏻thanks again Dana.
Why do organic fertilizers in potted plants? I understand doing it in a garden bed or in pots where the plant is going to be in it for years but for tomatoes I would go with regular fert. I understand wanting organic but that has nothign to do with fertilizers IMO. Also tomatoes need a ton of fertilizer. I was using triple the suggested amount and my soil probes were showing that the EQ levels were still far too low. They need a lot becasuse they grow so fast.
Thank you for the tip. Mine are making little tiny tomatoes. Also, your little twin is adorable!
Mother used empty cooked shrimps shells in garden for plants…plant grew but a life cycle came about during the couple of weeks the shells were there…flies came and layed eggs ….dragon flies came and ate all the flies eating shrimp shells…birds came and ate all the maggots that grew after the flies
Layed their eggs…
Why did he get a medal? He's pretty cool.
Such a great video!
It's definitely the water from the washing machine haha
I love in Morocco And weather here is moderate sometimes it could be hot sometimes cold you never know but I'm still a beginner in gardening I don't know much but my tomato's are not tall 😅
Luckily, i saw it on friday and i had some compost tea making in process
I had the same issue I popped open a k cup and sprinkled it in the soil and all so added plant food and two days later it came back and my cherry tomatoes doubled in size. Also I cut off all the dead leaves
Excellent tips. ❤❤
Thanks for sharing, God's blessings always 🙏🏻
I have seedling tomato plants whose leaves are disintegrating. The stem is left. Strangely they were fine until I put them outside on the porch to harden off. I have been giving them LAB and also a molasses product called Sassy Lass to try to revive them but I don't know if they can grow more leaves after most are gone. It remains to be seen.
Very good video, thank you
Hello! My husband and I just bought your rabbit book this week, we are still waiting for it to ship. But if it's anything like your videos it's going to be a huge help in setting up our rabbit colony. I absolutely love this video. The tip about making your nasty garden juice is great. I mean how gross can it get???? The more gross the more fun, right? :P Anyway it's still the dead of winter here in Iowa but I'm definitely going to be taking up Fertilizer Friday.... I'm so bad at remembering to fertilize so hopefully that will help! Genius! Thanks for your awesome videos!
You are very welcome! Thank you for your kind words x
Fertilizer Fridays is making SUCH a difference to my gardens!
im afraid my tomato plant's were not strong enough and didnt get planted quick enogh and are dead beyond repair, i grew 4 tomato plants together in a pint or quart sized container indoors for the last 10 months indoors then i put it outside for a day or 2 and it looked really sad , i seperated them and thier roots and planted then in mirical gro soil with fertilizer mixed in, like enogh that the bagd stunk , watered it for 2 nights and put a makeshift shade around them but i think they are to far gone, i took the smallest of them back indoors and hope and pray it will grow strong enough to plant it outside and at least grow that one
I am looking for some advice because i just bought tomato plants from a street vendor they did have roots the plants are about 3-6 inches they were very healthy as well but when i planted them they all turned limp and some died so i was wondering how to avoid that next time?
I am new to gardening and only started this year. I planted 20 varieties of heirloom tomatoes and peppers on May 22 this year. My plants are struggling so much and had to result to replanting from seeds few times. I mixed in organic tomato fertilizer in soil when I began and kept a decent watering routine weekly. I have tried Epsom salt and have not see. really much improvement but stumbled upon fish fertilizer and decided to give it a go. Some of my tomato plants are growing but no flowers in sight. How do i change course. Thanks.
My pastor s few yrs ago said his garden wasn't doing too well so I asked him what he fed his plants and he replied nothing . I the lectured him on how plants are living organisms . I recommend miracle grow because it's easy to use for amateur s Well he never said whether he followed my advice or not but ha said last year he had the best garden he ever had . So I'm thinking he followed my advice to feed and water his plants . I guess only him and god will ever know amen
thank you
My tomatoe plant a 100 yr old seed- plant grown from heirloom seed passed down from families. had lots of plants from a few seed, the plants are growing in a humid sunroom with full sun from lots of glass the plants we gradually taken out because they are Indterm. the one left on the sun porch is indoor was beautiful. 3 days ago... I came home from a wk end., trip and its leaves look like a seive all of them., no bugs detected, stem looks great. still moist
leaves look like lace. HELP ???
something has definitely eaten it, I would use a spray with neem oil and garlic spray every couple of days for 10-14 days.
I am growing some tomato plants.
This video is awesome 👌
New groth on top ,yellow on bottob . Nitrogen dificieny!
Hi 👋
Here in the UK it's wintertime right now (I'm presuming you're in Aus? 🌞⛱️), but I'm trying to keep a cutting from my summer tomato plant alive in the warmest place I can indoors - so I can hopefully get a head start on the beautiful tom's I had mid last year? It's a bit droopy atm.. 😱 so I've repotted it in a bigger pot & drier soil as I've possibly been overwatering it. My question is (if I may ask): do I need to feed it, even though it's early winter?🤞
I love your videos! I learn something everytime :)
I love the idea of an ongoing compost tea barrel, I have one of the blue barrels like yours but what are you using for a lid? Less stink is always better ;)
Aww thanks Jodine! That is a lid for a metal 44 gallon drum that my dad found at a farm clearance sale years ago, fits perfectly though.
Nice metal🎖️ great sloothing
Much love xoxox
Bit of molasses is good for the brew too but in warm climates you might attract pests
Fruit flies, ants..??
Molasses is impossible to get here right now, had some lead contamination and a nationwide recall on it, brown sugar and treacle!
@@FantailValleyHomestead wow that's not good thanks for letting me know
My tomato and egg plant leaves are being eaten by something that takes all the color from the leaf, leaves it like a skeleton and then the leaf curls with the fecal matter being left inside the curled leaf. Why and what.
i assume these tips only work for properly grown tomatoes not ones grown improperly from seed
Arrr ...my tomatoes are doing the same, I'm feeding them with comfrey tea !!!
They might need more nitrogen if they are still doing it and not recovering after a week or two. Were they planted in potting mix from the warehouse by any chance?
@@FantailValleyHomestead Narrr ...tomato potting mix from Bunnings ...
Get on with it
I made some up, with just leaves & things from the yard, I used it a few times then had to dump it bc it stunk so bad.🤢 my tomatoes were near my patio & couldn’t stand the smell.
Yeah it is pretty stinky. It works though!
Excellent tips, thank you!👍❤️
Did I hear you correctly when you said weed greens (Actual weeds?), also what if I. Used sea moss instead of seaweed?
yes, my favourite to use is nettle or chick weeds, but dock are great too, in fact anything that doesn't have seeds. I think any sea plants are going to have all the extra minerals from the sea water in them
👍😎👍❤️. Enjoyed your video. 😊
Thank you 🤗
How old is the chicken poo?? Is it fresh, or about a year old?
umm I can't remember haha, I am pretty sure it was fresh. Diluted in water like this it is OK to use fresh
Those pots are much too small.
I have wilting leaves on my tomato plant. I'm not sure I think I might clip off the wilting leaves
It's because of the weather my plants where wilting as well give them some miracle grow soluble fertilizer which is about $12 for 5 lbs mix it 1 spoon in a gallon of water and feed your plants you'll see the difference the next day . Also if the weather is between 50-70°f don't water them everyday I suggest twice a week because too much watering will kill your plants another good thing for plants is epsom salt , * Do not wet your tomato plants leave the sun will destroy your plants and tomato plants leaves hate water touching them. Hope it helps
Also water them in the morning not during hot sunny afternoon
@@peace4ever182 since the temperature is up in the high 50s right now I got my plants outside. But it started raining a while ago.
@Bro Steve High 50s in the nights is ok but days should be in 70s for tomatoes, cucumbers if days are 50s tomatoes and cucumbers won't thrive and they'll act funny
@Bro Steve Did you started indoors under the lights?
Did you accumulate them if not they're in danger me personally gardening for a while and I do grow my plants indoors and I do accumulate them slowly slowly bringing them outdoors by the shades for 1st day 30 minutes next day 1 hour and then slowly slowly getting them used to the sun light
Great vid. What kind of potting mix would you recommend in NZ?
Thanks! I have found the daltons premium stuff pretty good, and the number 8 stuff from mitre 10 I've not had any issues with either.
You would be better to re start tomatoes then revive them if you have time.
Their production will be effected in the long run.
yeah, sadly we have a very short hot season :( so no time to re-start. But NEXT year I will be feeding them weekly and not using the cheap nasty potting mix!
Aren’t you afraid of fungus in the soup?
Fungus is a good thing - shows things are alive and working. With so many beneficial fungi and bacteria in the 'soup' the chances of a bad one growing is less rather than more :-)
I would like it except the gross face tag!
Why are you showing bad unsunlit plants in shallow pots and asking why?
jadam js
Get to the point I'm
Old I don't have a lot of time left on earth. Lol
still took the time to comment... thanks!
Too much darn conversation
Well, I would respond.. but apparently I talk to much
