My wife absolutely loves when Chelsea is more active in the videos. We've been watching for almost a year and really enjoyed the first few videos when she was in front of the camera. We have a couple littles ourselves so we get how busy she is but we would love to see her more! I still love watching you too, Tom!
We are going to make a greenhouse out of old windows that we have collected from neighbors, for free. My father-in-law is awesome at building so I'm sure that it's going to be wonderful. We got a load of 2x4's from our neighbors, for free. The only things we need to buy are nails and door hinges. We are late for gardening so we won't have an outdoor garden but we do have tomatoes in the house which has been growing all winter.
Our indeterminate heirloom tomatoes grew to well over 12 feet last year. We use 6 foot tall cages that we made out of Concrete reinforcement wire and wire them into round.s. At the top of the cage we have a metal pipe to extend the height and then let the tomatoes hang over. Been using the same cages for almost 20 years. For other trellis's we put in 1 inch PVC pipe in the ground a good two foot with a piece of rebar for the pvc to sit over it. and attach deer netting to it with zip ties. It's held up for a good ten years and the cheapest method for us. We grow bush beans, cucumbers, butternut squash, pumpkins on it with no problem.
Here in the UK we call zip ties tie raps . They are defo a gardeners best friend 😊
I absolutely love your channel just as many of us here do.
My comment is not to discourage you, but to save you money and help you not lose to much harvest. Please listen to Chelsea and just go with cattle panel right from the start. Trust me if you go back in there now and redo the “arch trellises” you won’t regret it as bad as you will if you just wait to see if the welded wiring works. Those arch trellises will cave in with the vines and veggies. My husband and I used to try and go with cheaper materials years ago to try and save some money. But noticed and therefore learned, it would be DOUBLE COST in the long run because it wouldn’t hold or wouldn’t last as long as the better material does… so we stopped that bad habit and now we build things with sturdier material (yeah it’s a little more expensive but it will last for years). Making our cost be worth every penny. The teepee trellis will also be hard to harvest because it closes down the ability to get to the inside tomatoes. Wish you the best of luck!
The trellis needs to be cattle panels. When the vegetation gets to the top with fruit it will collapse on the welded wire. Not sturdy enough in the center.
Thank you for taking us along on your gardening adventures. We all can learn from each other. Hope this is your best garden year ever! GOD bless
How neat! I was also brainstorming and thought maybe I can put some pve pipe on the 2 t posts and go over to the other t posts to form an arch and cover with the welded wire fence! Also i will try the metal zip ties so they last longer and are reusable too!! So proud for how far yall have came and thanks for your encouragement to homestead!!
Looks good! Are you going to be able to reach inside to pick your tomatoes? Looked like tight squares. I tried the string method and didn’t work well for me either
That's what I was thinking its going to be hard to prune those tomatoes, are those determinate ? the height will work for those anyways! good luck guys !
I cracked up when you said frost dates are done, i think our last frost was the beginningof January this year. We barely had a winter. I'm "trellising" peas and cucumbers up the front of the chicken coop. I'm hoping it'll provide more shade and still allow breeze.
I absolutely love your channel and always look forward to the next posts. I hate to voice concerns and hope they aren’t discouraging but I would hate to see you get further into the season and run into problems. One is, how are you going to be able to reach your hand into the new tomato “teepees” you just made to harvest the tomatoes that don’t grow on the outside? Second, won’t the weight of the vines and fruit cause the wire trellises to cave in since they don’t have supports at the peak of the arches?
WOW GO CHELSEA 😊❤ AWESOME FAMILY 😊
hi all new sub watching from australia ,love what y'all are doing.
Nice idea for the tomatoes with the fencing . But..... how are you going to pick them !

Thanks for sharing. I honestly don’t think that tomato trellis is going to work, but I hope like heck I’m wrong.
Not trying to push my own channel, but if you have a moment, check out a recent short I did “how to grow 20 tomato plants in a 14x3 bed.” By FAR the best trellis system I’ve ever used! (Just in case yours doesn’t work).
❤
Nice!
You live in a local community but you have a farm, is that no problem
if this doesn't work ill give you another cheap alternative! don't ask how I know lol
Looks good. Please stop hunching over, man, you're gonna kill your back! It's a trend I see in all your videos. You hunch towards the camera. From someone who has back issues, please be aware of your hunching and limit it!!!
