Excellent content. Thank you for your generosity!
I'm growing way more determinates this year, so I'll be joining you on the Florida Weave train! Yours are looking great! Mine go in ground this weekend!
This is my first season I’m using the Florida weave. So far I love it! I have in the past cut hog panels to build a square cage 8ft tall for indeterminates. I’m like you Greg, I’m a huge fan of T posts. I have some from 25 years ago and they still do the job! I also love your box of twine too! Great show again, thanks for your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds great!
I'm glad to learn this Florida weave. Thank you for showing us!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for showing how to do the Florida weeve.
I’ve been using this method with my peppers for years and I love it. Tried and true!
Great to hear!
Thanks Greg! I like this!
👍🏼 Thank you!
Yes! Duke's mayonnaise and little salt, pepper.
I also love it when the sweet corn is ready and I will cut that off the cob saute that with some zucchini, yellow squash, onions, garlic, and a few diced tomatoes. Simmer it till it makes a little bit of a "gravy", and I eat that on grits. People think I'm weird, but it is delicious!
I've always used tomato cages made from old hog wire but I really like this method and will definitely try it.
You should!
My new technique! Thanks for tip.
Outstanding video, really fine instruction. Many thanks, good sir.
Very welcome
I've made a teepee of bamboo and tie up the branches as they grow because I grow only a few plants. I would definitely use your technique if I grew rows and rows of maters! Indeed that MATER sandwich sounds GREAT!!!
Sounds great!
Absolutely agree with the Duke's Mayonnaise for the tomato sandwiches. The very best Mayonnaise ever made!!
I totally agree!
Excellent this is very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you brother, that's the way my Granddaddy did it 50 years ago when I was a kid, except he used tobacco sticks "back in the day". God willing, since I've started watching y'all's videos and I've seen how to reduce weeding with the silage tarps, I'm going to give having a Garden another try. Looks like it will come in handy, the way the world is heading right now. Take care, ABCIII
Thanks for sharing
Howdy, Hoss ! Great suggestion for the plants. Nice little tune , too !
Thanks 👍
It’s gonna be good Y’all!
Greg, thanks for sharing this information. I use a very similar method that I call the improved Florida weave. I'm about 99% certain a ton of people have already done this and it likely has an "official" name but in essence I simply drive two 7.5' t posts on each side of the rows about every 10' apart and weave the line criss-crossed between each of the posts while capturing each plant between the lines. It opens up the growth area for the plants and allows more air circulation through them. I used it last year on 8' indeterminate tomatoes and it worked like a champ. Please help me out if you think I should do differently.
I love garden tomatoes and a little salt shaker in my pocket I can eat a couple right where I picked em. But when they start coming on like he said dukes mayonnaise salt and pepper between two pieces of light bread and that's all you need other than finding a shade tree to get under!
I bet if some of those fancy restaurants had them, maybe toast the bread a little they probably would get $8-10 for it. And can always get fancy and put a fried slice of bologna on it!
Love the Florida Weave..... and the way you say "Tomaders"! Oh, and you Nailed the sandwich! Keep the videos rolling!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks Hoss
Any time!
Love your videos
Kindly provide updates on this particular tomatoes farm. I like to know how fantastically growth and harvest they are going to be.
Thanks.
Isure some pretty maters you got there Hoss. Btw all the seeds I got from y’all I got great germination
Happy to hear it, Gary! Appreciate you buddy!
@@gardeningwithhoss anytime my friend
I've used this method for the last few years. I saw it on your channel and using a PVC pipe so you don't have to bend over is great.
Usually I plant tomatoes in five gallon buckets but last year I had a cherry tomato at one end of the garden and a regular tomato, I forget what kind, at the other end. They both grew HUGE and WIDE. I had a terrible time with staking the cherry, because I had no idea what it would become. I used poles from tree shoots I cut down, worked okay at first but the poles would fall over in the last part of the season. The regular tomato was in a circle of wire "fence" of some kind I had been using for compost. I remember it was hard to get to the fruit that was low down and not near the wire. Sometimes impossible.
Oh man I need a tomato sandwich now
Always watchn from Indian River County Fl.👍
Talked me in to it
Looks like a good way to stake up my dahlias!
Run that string though a piece of pvc pipe and you want have to bend over but to tie. Use the pipe as a handle to weave with it works great
What do you mean? I can’t picture it.
@@tonkabear2369 hard to explain over text. But you run the string through a 3ft piece of 1in pvc. Tie the string to the stake and weave it through the tomatoes by holding the pvc pipe when you come to a stack wrap it twice and continue.
@@joshuakirby338 Appreciate it! Makes perfect sense now, thank you.
Thank you for showing me the right way, my goodness I’ve been doing it wrong for 20 years.
He's right about that sandwich. Simplest...tastiest vegetable one I know of? Get mayo salt pepper correct and you couldn't take that sandwich from me.
Agreed, Tim!
That's the way to do it, Greg! The Florida weave is economical, stronger than it looks, and it works! I've also found that unless you're using weed fabric, caging your plants makes it really hard to keep the weeds out, and if you're growing more than just a few, they can be very expensive. Metal t-posts are still pretty cheap, are easy to store, and they last for many years....And I'm still working on the first box of Gro Tie Garden Twine I got from y'all a couple of years ago!
On average how far apart are your rows of twine/string as you go up? If lower branches start to sag do you tie them up later then? I hate my cages cause they invariably will get bent/smashed/not stand up
@@TheRoadfarmer the lower branches should be caught in that first row of twine. If you can’t tuck them into the first twine, then I go back and trim them up off the soil. The next twine depends how fast they’re growing. I usually wait till there’s enough foliage to start sagging/needing staking…5-8” maybe.
great video. question: does the florida weave work great for indeterminate tomatoes, without pruning?
Yes it does!
this is brilliant! thanks forsaving me a ton of money!!!
Happy to help!
I like the weave idea! Now, how do you keep Hornworms away?
There are several options on there for Hornworms. Check out this product page and look at the pest control chart, you will find what is good to use on those hornworms!

my back is hurting watching this
😆
Funny how many people do things nearly the same way over time. I have countless cages from the years but continue to return to cotton string and t post.
Dukes Mayonnaise 😋. The best!
The best!
Rabbits bit my weave string off and I ended up with a mess. Forced me to use cages again. Don't know if that has been an issue with anyone else
Tomato sandwich sounds great. Spouse can't eat tomatoes of any kind so I grow 1-2 plants for me.
Wonder how this would work for bell pepper plants? I have a problem with them falling down unless I stake them. I grow 10-20 plants and chop and freeze them so I have them year round.
The FL weave will work as well for peppers just be careful if you are growing multiple types near each other could result in cross pollination
Yes it will
Go you do this for both determinant and indeterminate tomatoes?
yes
👍
I am growing in Houston Texas. can I growing tomato plants without trellis, crawling on the ground just naturally?
you can, but most do need some type of support
The trick is to put the Dukes on both pieces of bread and slice the tomatoes a little thick. Now I’m hungry…
What when the tomatoes grow up to 12 feet those stakes won't cut it.
Sammich only good with fresh sliced tomato with mayo. Party on.
Howdy
Wouldn't it be easier on your back to run that string through a piece of pvc pipe to extend your reach and just use that to guide it around the plants and posts?
You definitely can do that! We’ve done that before!
@@gardeningwithhoss Thank goodness! My back insults me and doesn't forgive me quickly! :)
I know you said they’re two tomato plants apart, but how many feet apart is each stake? I’m gonna do this and I’d love to know. TY in advance.
4 foot
@@gardeningwithhoss thank you so much!!!! We’ll be setting up soon. So thank you!!!
Holly smoke that is back breaking
Question: I bought a 6 pack of tomato plants(not seeds) from Lowes about a week ago. Planted them on Mon. May (2nd) and today is the (6th). Why do they still look sad? They havent died but they look super puney and just sad. Everything elseI planted is doing great.
sounds like they may be going through some transplant shock. Fertilize them and keep them watered. May take up to a week for them to come out of it.
@@gardeningwithhoss Will do. Thanks!
how far do you space your plants from one another
18-24 inches
thanks for the information i’ve always done 3 feet but i’m going to try your way this season
Patagonia overalls huh? Why you fancy hippy you. I finally have a property where I can do proper plots. Growing some Hoss tomatoes (and some others) and doing the Florida weave, just got tomatoes out today.
👍
🌾🍎🍅🌺🍇
💚
why do ya wait to put the string up why not put a few rows up and let the plants grow to it
Works better once they have a little size to them
😂😂😂😂
Why didn't you make them so they would fold up flat like a wire dog crate folds up flat
The best tomato cage,hands down,is made from concrete reinforcing wire.You set it and forget it,so to speak.Did you say "white" bread?YUCK!!!
Whatever happened to that young guy, I think the son???
He left the company April 2021
