I did this but purely to prove to my son that you can take a sucker, put it in dirt and it’ll grow a whole new plant. He doubted me so we started 10 plants from suckers and they are now producing beautiful tomatoes.
Same here- my kids all have their own “sucker” tomato plants to eat from this fall. All because we didn’t listen to grandma who said it couldn’t be done!
I did this also, instead of starting all new seeds. I started a sucker from my fave varieties. (I just didnt have it in me to baby more seedlings at the time) The suckers did not get as big or grow as many fruit as the mother plant but I did get fruit. (I still am from mother and suckers-zone 5) Did you all find this to be true?
Me too. I did the same thing with some suckers off my cherry tomato plants. I'm single steming them up a 8 foot furring post so the plant can grow quicker instead of trying to grow into a huge bushy plant.
Hate is raging these days because everyone is so depressed and unhappy with life at these times....You share great helpful content so ignore the negative Nancy's out there...Thanks MI Gardner!!!! Keep up the good video vibes........!
I planted a late crop of Roma’s on a hunch I’d be fine….they are thriving and I should see one last big flush of tomatoes before first frost….so awesome
I walked in the front door of a pet store yesterday and was accosted by the store owner. He forced me to use hand sanitizer. Hate and fear is tremendous right now yes. I’m a bit over it. I can see people’s understanding but their understanding does not incorporate those who are allergic to most cosmetics, lotions and yes even hand sanitizers. I am very sensitive to methylisothiazolinone. I’m just using this as an example. This kind of behavior is everywhere and a lot is not even founded on common sense. I think a lot of these folks spreading fear are just hate filled in the first place and they are using a bad situation to take advantage of others or feel in control. As to the above hand sanitizer. That stuff immediately makes my skin feel like it is being burned. I had to walk into the store next door and ask the owner if I could use their restroom to wash it off. Hand sanitizer to be in a pet store? I’m fully vaccinated too.
Hate? LOL. How do you even know what other people's emotions and prefrences are? Are you going to flip out if i say I hate undercooked broccoli? Or, if i think Okra is slimey? Stop watching so much TV. You cant decipher propaganda from reality.
What does "try August tomatoes" mean? Luke says he planted 45-day variety seed July 1st, transplanted Aug. 2nd, and had first pick August 30th, continuing til frost. There is barely anything "August" about this. For me, my indeterminate varieties started from seed in April(!) and ripe fruit is in August and September, til frost.
Im impressed luke. Well done. I like that you share the things you screw up and do well at because it make it feel more realistic as a gardener when i fail.
I do this while pruning in August - I stick suckers in the soil and as the big one peters out the sucker is ready to go 👍 I love when you do videos like this - just the facts, just reality, with some added glee about your harvest 😂 but it's not snide or "told you so". Always good content!
I did this accidentally when I added some compost to my garden and tomatoes came up from seeds in compost. I moved them to other areas where they could grow and now they are producing fruit when others are coming to the end.
I have learned so much from you.. my husband and I are full time farmers for 40 years. I am sure you are like me…..Always willing to learn something new! Gardners have always shared with eachother!
You may even get to extend your season if you use some row covers. The only way to prove folks wrong is to give it a try. One thing is for sure, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I have full faith that you will prove those haters wrong. Blessings to ya!
Proving wrong sorry Charlie it's all who do proving right let them keep negative and then helps grow do yall play music for them but it's for gardener n plants though while in the garden
I planted the determinate variety Patio in February. They produced from mid-April through early June, stopped during the heat waves of June- early August and now they're flowering and producing fruit again. I live in zone 9, I had planned to pull them out in early August and move the fall plants I started in June from the backyard to the front patio to replace the Patio variety. Now I have both. I've double checked and Patio is a determinate and not an indeterminate. They haven't put on any height, just more flowers and fruit.
Yeah, me too! I'm in zone 9b and planted a determinate in February as well- after the first flush, they waited a month or two before flowering & fruiting again. And now, once again, they're setting new flowers. The only definitive difference I can think of would be the temperatures down here, but I have no clue how that'd interplay with their determinate genetics. Curious either way
I know it is inevitable, but when my tomato plants start dying I get so sad. I nursed them from seeds to harvest and I just want them to continue to live on. Planning for an Autumn planting just might ease my "tomato blues". :)
The last thing I need right now is more tomatoes lol. I've learned so much in the year I've been watching you & used it to prepare my garden bed & proper watering & feeding. My tomatoes exploded! We are close to 50 pounds in the freezer for canning once it cools down. Thank you for all the knowledge!
I think, it's important to show videos like this. I think, there's a lot of old wive's tales in gardening that stick in people's mind and keep them from experimenting. Which is half the fun of gardening; trying new things and seeing what happens. Thanks for the tips to help me extend my short season.
You just made the think about squash/cuc/melon cross pollination affecting this year's crop. Don't tell that one to my zucchinni, butternuts, acorns, watermelons, and cucumbers that were all in the same bed (No joke, my beds are huge.) Every last one tasted exactly as they were supposed to taste, but I didn't save any seeds. Most were hybrids, so there was no point anyway.
You don't have to explain yourself to haters. The content alone keeps the good ones here. Once you dwell on the drama, the excitement for your content also fizzles away.
I love you guys! I have been watching you since you were a teenager making your first videos. You have accomplished a lot, and given so much inspiration and knowledge to everyone that watches...for free! Thank you!
Hater's will hate. Just do you and don't worry about the rest. I'm here to see you, not them. Your advice just plain out works and thank you Sir. Great Job.
I love your videos! I have learned a lot and I regularly consult your videos for many things. You are organized and do not waste lots of time with lots of nonsense. Thank you.👍
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I have learned a lot from them. I'm getting ready to plant a fall garden soon. I have 3 tomato plants growing now. Keep up the great work.
In Alberta Canada we sorted the issue of late planting. Start early and hope for not a suprise freeze. Count on bugs, solar and cosmic interference and bugs. Plan on frost maybe mid September. Plant one for you, one for the weather, one for the bugs and now.....one for cosmic interference. Need to relocate below our latitude.
Hi Luke, do not mind the haters. I for one learn from your channel and apply some of your teachings in my garden. I learn from many gardeners and you are one of the consistent ones I keep coming to because you explain so well. You are doing a wonderful job and you are a positive influence. Thank you for teaching me.
I just planted 7 tomato plants in the ground that are thriving and 7 cherry tomato started in the green house this august. I don’t get why people have anything negative to say. If it works, it works, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t! Not that big of a deal! Most of anything gardening is trying and learning. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge! You’ve definitely helped me with my food growing experiences!
@@sloshflaunders4711 Would I ever have thought of sowing tomatoes in July if not for Migardener? Am I encouraged when he shows the success he's had with this experiment (and so many others he's done) and he repeatedly says,"You CAN do this"? Absolutely he IS an inspiration! Because of HIS efforts and eagerness to share his knowledge I am a better gardener. It's a shame there always has to be someone spitting out negative comments like yours to try to discredit the teacher and subsequently DIS-courage and UN-inspire others. Now I think I'll go and tell some other people how wonderfully educational Migardener is.
Yes! Fall tomatoes are possible and Luke did a great job showing that. I didn't get my fall tomatoes planted this year but I hope to plant some next year.
I grow autumn tomatoes all the time here. We're in a cool/cold climate in Tas but autumn is the best time for my tomatoes and they keep going right up to the first frost.
I did that this year with a couple suckers but I may have started too late or chose the wrong variety... they aren't blooming yet. They look very healthy, I'm not giving up till frost😁
I’m new to TN from WashDC and I’ve got volunteer tomatoes in every random place in my yard. Previous owners did beautiful landscaping but there are still tomato plants everywhere. I wouldn’t let my hubs mow them down but now I’m merciless😆. They’ll choke out everything else if I leave them there. But still, I’ll go out to get cucumbers and there’s some itty bitty cherry toms peeking out from under the Rose of Sharon saying “pick me too!” I think I must have bought the most fertile hunk of TN for my late in life homestead.
Awesome video. I am planting seeds that mature in 60 days and expect a full harvest in the south. Your suggestions are very helpful, and your seeds have produced great plants.
I planted four tomato plants back in August. I planted two beef steak and two Roma tomato plants. The beef steak are slowly dying. My Roma seem to be doing ok, but only has one green tomato on it so far. It does have a few blooms, so I’m hopeful. I’ve learned first to buy lots of seeds, because in August I couldn’t find any seeds left in any of our local stores. The second thing I learned is you want to buy plants buy them before August because stores either sell out or get rid of them, even in the greenhouse nursery. This is my first time growing a fall garden, so I’m learning. Your video has helped me understand why my beef steak tomato plants died out. I’ll make note of which kind to plant next year. Thank you for sharing!
HEY Luke, Guess what I planted tomatoes late too. I like cherry tomatoes We had a bad wind storm tomato plants broke so I rooted them planted them. Also, I had a few tomato plants that grew on their own. I nursed them The other day I plucked tomatoes off of them. Im in Ohio so our weather is about the same. Im in growing zone 6b. As I say GROW HAPPY ... TAKE CARE.
I feel you! I'm in central Phoenix. It can be done, but some of it depends on other factors like frequent, regular watering, adequate shade (light shade cloth might not do it), soil, and your micro climate. A few of my tomatoes from last year's spring (2020) managed to survive the repeated 117° and other record breaking high temperature summer heat and my sporadic watering. They even survived the winter, but then died this spring. Go figure!
Good for you! I'm jealous! Love Romas on pizza. Because of you, I planted cherry tomatoes in my fall garden. They are perfect for fermenting to enjoy in the winter months. Thanks for inspiring us, Luke!
Luke - two questions - 1) did you start these determinate August tomatoes from seed? If so, when? 2) Do you not stake your tomatoes? And, if not, why? Thank you for your great info all the time! Love your channel...
👏👏 did it last year. Very rewarding. Just too busy with work. Getting out and Harvesting has been real tough this year. Did put in a lotbof time this year though and we reaped a lot!
Love your channel and thanks for all the education. Don't worry about the negative comments. It really isn't worth the time. Keep going. You're an inspiration and you've helped me garden better!
I live in zone 6 and the last few years I've been harvesting cherry tomatoes into October, weird because I didn't think there were any bees around to pollinate them that late in the year. Freezing temps got them a little earlier last year though. Going to try covering them this year to extend their growing days.
I did this when I started to garden. (Mostly because I didn't know better) it gets too hot in Southern California that the tomatoes stop producing, so I plant new ones by the time it starts to cool down they start flowering and our winter is so mild we don't get frost. Love your videos btw.
I like your opening rant on possibility and perspective :) . Keep doing you!!! One reason I love your channel is because you live in a similar climate zone. I loved the video on pepper plants, you said some great information that I could relate to growing my first season of chili peppers :). Thank you so much for the information!
I bought roma seeds from you last year and they did excellent this season and are still producing from the late spring planting! I enjoy all your videos and I’ve learned so much….thank you Luke
WOW I would not think that you can start planting by May 15 in Michigan. In MA where I am located, for the past THREE years we have not been safe to plant without a frost until June 7! On the other hand, its fantastic how long we enjoy peas, lettuce and other cool weather crops such as tatsoi. Wish I did San Marzanos this year but I used my space this year for heirlooms. I miss the SM! On the other hand, from my compost I have had many volunteers and they are strong and coming along while the older plants are passing their time, as you say. They will be late producers and maybe I will need to cover them to keep them warm.
I am so sorry you were ill...I was working hard in my garden too...I tried to move something too big and broke my back....so I too lost..but thru it all we are blest, looking for better things ahead!
This looks like a good idea for areas where you get blight.i live in a high desert and we don’t get blight here, it’s very arid. My tomato plants were planted in May and they still look great! But good for you! It’s kind of amazing they will grow so fast.
I start tomatoes from seeds in July and August nearly every year. They are my favorite thing from the garden and I want them year round. Just put 13 new plants in the ground Saturday that I started about three weeks ago from seed. I did this in Virginia and again here in South Carolina.
Yesterday was 99 degrees in central California, but should be in the 80s rest of week. I followed Luke’s advice and started my second batch of tomatoes and got them planted mid-July. Starting to see some blush on my Ace 55 or Rutgers (don’t remember which variety I planted). I’m a true believer, but next year I may try planting suckers for my second batch.
Great video Luke. I had a hailstorm take out my tomatoes this year but I had seedlings that I couldn’t give away. So bang I had plants available to plant. I’m doing a bunch of cherry tomatoes here in GA. I can’t wait to have more tomatoes in the fall.
Luke, you are my go to guy for all things in the garden. We just moved from Oregon to North Idaho. Little shorter growing season so we decided to build a 18x 30 greenhouse this spring. I didn’t need to plant a fall harvest of tomatoes because my indeterminate tomatoes are still producing! Appreciate the time you take to share with us all your vast knowledge.
I did an experiment this year. I planted seeds for Atomic Grape and Black Cherry tomatoes at the beginning of July in the ground in Northeast PA. I will soon have ripe tomatoes on them. If I remember right, I think I saw you talking about doing late planting of tomatoes when I decided to try it.
When You Shine. You Shine Bright. And you sir have proven that your Light will continue to Shine Bright.. I have fall tomatoes coming in. And yes I'm very excited. You have taught me so much about gardening that I have a very good harvest this year. To those nay Sayers out there. It can be done. Thank you for all you learn and teach us newbie gardeners.. 🌷❤️
I followed your suggestion and planted Moscovitz tomato seeds in pots in my house on July 1. I planted 6 plants in the ground on July 26. First blossom August 1. The plants look great but so far no tomatoes. No bees for buzz pollinating. Fingers crossed, I'll have fall tomatoes. Or maybe even Christmas tomatoes!
I am just now starting my fall tomatoes from seed here in Florida. We don't get much cool weather till January so I'm taking full advantage of the fall growing season. Love your channel and I have learned a lot. Thank you, MiGardner.
Luke, your "gone to space" analogy was perfect! Congratulations 😀 on your beautiful harvest of proof to hush the naysayers. Pay them no mind. Great information I will try growing end of season tomatoes like this myself this next year Thanks!👍🏻
I love your Channel. I have learned a lot from you. your seeds are the best I have bought. My fall tomatoes are looking fantastic can’t wait for my Roma tomato’s to turn red so I can make some sauce.
I have 4 clones going right now, and one volunteer. The oldest clone is an Early Ann that has 12 fruits on it, the volunteer cherry has some small fruits, and one of the cherry clones has some small fruits. My seven foot tall Orange Cherry has about 100 fruits (on it's way out), and my Super Sweet 100 Cherry has over 100 fruits on it, but is looking pretty stressed. I also have a Sweet Grape Tomato plant that is still looking healthy and has dozens of "ready to pick" fruits. PS: I live in South Central Minnesota. I think my next move will be pruning any and all blossoms to make the plants focus on the existing fruit. Cheers! Grow BIG!!!
I did this but purely to prove to my son that you can take a sucker, put it in dirt and it’ll grow a whole new plant. He doubted me so we started 10 plants from suckers and they are now producing beautiful tomatoes.
Now that's an awesome tip
Same here- my kids all have their own “sucker” tomato plants to eat from this fall. All because we didn’t listen to grandma who said it couldn’t be done!
I did this also, instead of starting all new seeds. I started a sucker from my fave varieties. (I just didnt have it in me to baby more seedlings at the time) The suckers did not get as big or grow as many fruit as the mother plant but I did get fruit. (I still am from mother and suckers-zone 5) Did you all find this to be true?
Your son is the suckered now
Me too. I did the same thing with some suckers off my cherry tomato plants. I'm single steming them up a 8 foot furring post so the plant can grow quicker instead of trying to grow into a huge bushy plant.

I walked in the front door of a pet store yesterday and was accosted by the store owner. He forced me to use hand sanitizer. Hate and fear is tremendous right now yes. I’m a bit over it. I can see people’s understanding but their understanding does not incorporate those who are allergic to most cosmetics, lotions and yes even hand sanitizers. I am very sensitive to methylisothiazolinone. I’m just using this as an example. This kind of behavior is everywhere and a lot is not even founded on common sense. I think a lot of these folks spreading fear are just hate filled in the first place and they are using a bad situation to take advantage of others or feel in control. As to the above hand sanitizer. That stuff immediately makes my skin feel like it is being burned. I had to walk into the store next door and ask the owner if I could use their restroom to wash it off. Hand sanitizer to be in a pet store? I’m fully vaccinated too.

👏👏 did it last year. Very rewarding. Just too busy with work. Getting out and Harvesting has been real tough this year. Did put in a lotbof time this year though and we reaped a lot!
Such a motivating video...I'm so inspired to plant some more
Love your channel and thanks for all the education. Don't worry about the negative comments. It really isn't worth the time. Keep going. You're an inspiration and you've helped me garden better!
Thank you for sharing! I doing a late sowing of beans and cucumber but never thought of tomatoes, always learning something :)
I love your videos. Thank you for making them.
This is why I watch your channel you try new things so I dont have to. Keep experimenting in the garden my friend!
I live in zone 6 and the last few years I've been harvesting cherry tomatoes into October, weird because I didn't think there were any bees around to pollinate them that late in the year. Freezing temps got them a little earlier last year though. Going to try covering them this year to extend their growing days.
Tomatoes are self fertile, so you don’t need bees.
Awesome thanks 🙏🏽
I did this when I started to garden. (Mostly because I didn't know better) it gets too hot in Southern California that the tomatoes stop producing, so I plant new ones by the time it starts to cool down they start flowering and our winter is so mild we don't get frost. Love your videos btw.
I like your opening rant on possibility and perspective :) . Keep doing you!!! One reason I love your channel is because you live in a similar climate zone. I loved the video on pepper plants, you said some great information that I could relate to growing my first season of chili peppers :). Thank you so much for the information!
I bought roma seeds from you last year and they did excellent this season and are still producing from the late spring planting! I enjoy all your videos and I’ve learned so much….thank you Luke
What a wonderful show. My tomatoes were so sparse do to heat this year, will be giving this a go. Thank you so much.
My first batch of tomatoes just ripening. Started potatoes in bags again!
Great name! 😁
Over wintering?
Wow! I’m already going through my determinate seeds and planning for next year. Thank you.
I’m zone6b it’s July 24, I’m thinking of starting some early maturing tomato’s today for my fall tomato garden ! Thanks miGardener!
Awesome! Good for you
Omg I didn't think it was possible for you to be even MORE excited than usual!!
Love your enthusiasm
Luke, that is awesome. I planted some on 8/18. Crossing my fingers. Keep up the awesome job.
Great harvest
People are gonna hate. Always let them have what they deserve. I love what you teach and how you teach it. So the haters can just pis* off~
WOW I would not think that you can start planting by May 15 in Michigan. In MA where I am located, for the past THREE years we have not been safe to plant without a frost until June 7! On the other hand, its fantastic how long we enjoy peas, lettuce and other cool weather crops such as tatsoi. Wish I did San Marzanos this year but I used my space this year for heirlooms. I miss the SM! On the other hand, from my compost I have had many volunteers and they are strong and coming along while the older plants are passing their time, as you say. They will be late producers and maybe I will need to cover them to keep them warm.
That's awesome! I'm marking it to try next year. I just need to get better at planning fall crops.
I am so sorry you were ill...I was working hard in my garden too...I tried to move something too big and broke my back....so I too lost..but thru it all we are blest, looking for better things ahead!
I love it! Going to try this next year...great idea, Luke. Blessings ❤️
Love the intro 😂 I appreciate your videos and have learned from your experience, thank you so much 🤗 🍎🍏🥕🥬🍅🥦🍓🌽
This looks like a good idea for areas where you get blight.i live in a high desert and we don’t get blight here, it’s very arid. My tomato plants were planted in May and they still look great! But good for you! It’s kind of amazing they will grow so fast.
I start tomatoes from seeds in July and August nearly every year. They are my favorite thing from the garden and I want them year round. Just put 13 new plants in the ground Saturday that I started about three weeks ago from seed. I did this in Virginia and again here in South Carolina.
Yesterday was 99 degrees in central California, but should be in the 80s rest of week. I followed Luke’s advice and started my second batch of tomatoes and got them planted mid-July. Starting to see some blush on my Ace 55 or Rutgers (don’t remember which variety I planted). I’m a true believer, but next year I may try planting suckers for my second batch.
Yes! I learned this from you a couple of years ago! I get so many more tomatoes!!
Great video Luke. I had a hailstorm take out my tomatoes this year but I had seedlings that I couldn’t give away. So bang I had plants available to plant. I’m doing a bunch of cherry tomatoes here in GA. I can’t wait to have more tomatoes in the fall.
That's incredible! Great job, Luke! Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome idea... for next year for sure!!!
Excellent!
Luke, you are my go to guy for all things in the garden. We just moved from Oregon to North Idaho. Little shorter growing season so we decided to build a 18x 30 greenhouse this spring. I didn’t need to plant a fall harvest of tomatoes because my indeterminate tomatoes are still producing! Appreciate the time you take to share with us all your vast knowledge.
Love 💕 you Luke, stay encouraged as you encourage us.
This is so awesome...I will be on the hunt for a determinate paste tomato now for next year!
You're a genius in the yard bud :) I'd never question anything ya do :)
I did an experiment this year. I planted seeds for Atomic Grape and Black Cherry tomatoes at the beginning of July in the ground in Northeast PA. I will soon have ripe tomatoes on them. If I remember right, I think I saw you talking about doing late planting of tomatoes when I decided to try it.
!!! You just explained what was wrong with my tomatoes in about 10 seconds! I'll try this next year, for sure
Thank you buddy. Didn’t know. We are canning now and want more. Now. I know Yummy. Lu videos from Dartmouth Nova Scotia 🇨🇦🎁❤️❤️
When You Shine. You Shine Bright. And you sir have proven that your Light will continue to Shine Bright.. I have fall tomatoes coming in. And yes I'm very excited. You have taught me so much about gardening that I have a very good harvest this year. To those nay Sayers out there. It can be done. Thank you for all you learn and teach us newbie gardeners.. 🌷❤️
I followed your suggestion and planted Moscovitz tomato seeds in pots in my house on July 1. I planted 6 plants in the ground on July 26. First blossom August 1. The plants look great but so far no tomatoes. No bees for buzz pollinating. Fingers crossed, I'll have fall tomatoes. Or maybe even Christmas tomatoes!
ok, Moscovitz are indeterminate. I'll do better next year.
Thank You So Much!💞
I was going to ask the Internet whether I could plant tomatoes in August and harvest in the Fall.
I am just now starting my fall tomatoes from seed here in Florida. We don't get much cool weather till January so I'm taking full advantage of the fall growing season. Love your channel and I have learned a lot. Thank you, MiGardner.
Luke, your "gone to space" analogy was perfect! Congratulations 😀 on your beautiful harvest of proof to hush the naysayers. Pay them no mind. Great information I will try growing end of season tomatoes like this myself this next year Thanks!👍🏻
I love your Channel. I have learned a lot from you. your seeds are the best I have bought. My fall tomatoes are looking fantastic can’t wait for my Roma tomato’s to turn red so I can make some sauce.
Hi. You've taught us a lot.🪴🌱🌱🌿Thanks!
It never occurred to me to do this. It makes perfect sense!!!!!
Thanks Luke.
NEXT YEAR FOR SURE!!!
What variety of short season Roma-type tomatoes did you plant? The only Roma-type tomatoes I could find all are 65 days or longer.
@@sloshflaunders4711 Thanks. Now that makes sense. Oh well, he has a channel to support. Thanks again.
@@sloshflaunders4711 Agree. Thanks for the prompt reply.
Excellent video!
I have 4 clones going right now, and one volunteer. The oldest clone is an Early Ann that has 12 fruits on it, the volunteer cherry has some small fruits, and one of the cherry clones has some small fruits. My seven foot tall Orange Cherry has about 100 fruits (on it's way out), and my Super Sweet 100 Cherry has over 100 fruits on it, but is looking pretty stressed. I also have a Sweet Grape Tomato plant that is still looking healthy and has dozens of "ready to pick" fruits. PS: I live in South Central Minnesota. I think my next move will be pruning any and all blossoms to make the plants focus on the existing fruit. Cheers! Grow BIG!!!
