As a gardener, I have so much respect for you when I see how healthy and prolific your tomato plants are. I get a good harvest too, but yours are off the charts!
Mine end up dying practically overnight
Thank you! You are kind, but don't be to hard on yourself have been doing it for over 11 years now
i had 20 plants this year, in a 20 foot row. early girl, better boy, marglobes, and a couple cherry tomatoes that came up from last year as volunteers. i'll say i had better production from the ''wild'' cherries that the purebloods i bought in pots. i don't think they were as sweet, but that's from memory. now the others had me eating 12 tomatoes a day for 2.5 months now. i got so many now i just let them rot on the vine. so you don't need the most possible if you get too many to eat from what you planted already. i know, i should can them, but that's a whole 'nother project. i am curious as to how much eating 12 fresh tomatoes everyday does for your blood chemistry/skin. in the past month 2 people commented on how good i look, i never heard that before from anyone.
@@jamesprigioni you really have the most beautiful tomatoes in any garden on youtube
Some grow bananas that way..,????
I love seeing tuck in the videos. He's a part of the family and needs his 5 minutes of screen time too!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We've been burying Bananas under new Roses since I was tiny....I'm 66 now. 😊
That’s wonderful 😁
Really!? That is interesting, the idea makes sense to me!
66 and... No mention of bananas...
@@wrecktal_seepage what?
I've heard that planting salvias around roses helps with pests too.
Banana peels work just as well. Compost separately in a bucket covered in soil. You can keep on adding.❤❤❤
I do this too, that way I still get to enjoy the banana in my smoothies! I first ferment the banana peel in water for 3 days, then use that water in the garden. The peel then gets composted or sometimes I get lazy and just chop it up and bury it right next to the plants in the garden.
Yes, all you need is banana peel, you don’t want root rot 🍀
Red wrigglers love bananas and they have nice beneficial castings. They probably played a part in recycling that banana. In fact, if you wanted to start a new worm bin, you could probably take a couple of banana pieces like that, bury them under a layer of leaves for a week or so, come back and you'll find some red wrigglers on the banana. It's the worm equivalent of a hummingbird feeder.
If you have a blender, just blend your bananas with peels, add some water and voila...my roses and tomatoes went berserk when I added that banana mush!
This is what I do!
The open mindness to the benefits while still keeping a level of scepticism to your own biases is refreshing and impressive. Great job, those tomatoes look fantastic.
Thanks James. Bananas are one of the best foods to feed your soil. The microbiology in that soil is thriving and you're likely seeing the results of free castings. Your garden is amazing. Job well done as always.
Your channel is a true "happy place". You and Tuck make my day every video!
SHARE THIS VIDEO IF YOU ENJOYED IT! 😁🐕❤
Hi James and Tuck. Love Taco❤
do you worry about cross breeding, you take seeds from tomatos right?
Maybe people will share if you answer the questions that post.... that might work!
Hi James, you could bury rotten bananas in your garden any time of year. You could bury them where you know you are gonna plant your tomatoes. 👍
How synchronistic! I love that you made this video. Thanks for including your furry friend. We love to see Tuck in the garden! Blessings to you & yours! 😀
I saw another gardener use bananas to help grow his tomato plants, so I have been using them for not only my tomato plants but also for peppers and squashes and cucumbers. I hope to get healthy prolific plants. We'll see what happens. Love to watch you and Tuck in the garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I tried this in containers a few years back, and it worked like a charm as well. I want to stress that the potting soil was lightly refreshed from the previous season and had worms to help with the bananas decomposition.
Thanks for your posting, Dwight. After seeing James’s video, that was my question. I tried potting tomatoes this year for the first time. They did okay and I’m nit sure what the problem was. I’ll give the banana trick a try. Thank you (and James and Tuck!).
My bucket tomatoes didn’t produce like my raised bed tomatoes
Last year I added bananas, alfalfa, and ground up baked eggshells every few weeks to my roses and they were blooming like crazy all season. This year they were much more sporadic and so was I with the fertilizing. I definitely have seen a substantial difference.
LOL... garden myths,,, sorry for your waste of time and energy...
😅😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🎉
Thanks James for sharing all your knowledge for us to learn. Give Tuck a rub and a hug. He’s awesome.
Earlier this year I decided to create a worm farm since I caught a bunch of warms and decided to create a home for them with a 5 gallon plant pot. At one point I decided to feed them with over-riped bananas and some toss away tomatoes. Summer came around and I noticed an odd looking plant growing out. It didn't look similar to the invasive ones that I usually see in my backyard so I used an app to identify what it is. Turns out I'm growing tomatoes! It's been two months it just keeps growing! Hopefully, I'll have tomatoes by next year?
I have an outdoor composter, ended up with tens of tomato seedlings. Actually had to discard quit a few because I just didn't have any room.
@@ninemoonplanetyou can always plant them in yogurt containers and give them away - that’s what I did. Someone gave me like 80 tomato seedlings and every person I met along the way over the past 2 months I asked them if they’d like to grow some tomatoes. It was an unexpected gift.
Tomatoes are not perennial, so if you get temps anywhere close to freezing you won't get them next year
"Caught a bunch of worms"... that must have been extremely difficult... ha ha ha
@michaeleastham3868 you'd be surprised....if your doing something where your digging a lot, like digging up your yard for sewer reasons, its a good opportunity to grab them. Lots of opportunities to grab them if you know where to look.
It's funny/weird how most gardeners are aware of the high potassium content of bananas but wouldn't think of burying it under transplants to improve flowering plants until someone shows them?? Thanks for the tip(s), ❤ Tuck, and appreciate you and all the value and inspiration you bring to everyone!
Love seeing natural ways to add nutrients! ❤❤❤❤❤ for the Tuckster
I'm always amazed by your garden and how productive it is. Have you installed irrigation at some point? How do you keep your garden watered?
I love Tuck. Is he doing better? You are an exemplary pet parent. You're both blessed to have each other.
I’ll sure try that next Spring!! My tomatoes did well this year. Since I’m not canning my neighbors were glad to receive the overflow.
What a wonderful idea! I'm doing that next season. Hearts and hugs for Tuckie Boy!❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
Love seeing The Boss in your videos. They're just not complete without giving props to the Guardian of the Garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Team Tuck! Down Under, where I am, I grow large tomatoes during our winter and grow smaller tomatoes during our summer to reduce pest pressure. We also have a saying that goes...If you want to know the best way to make coffee, ice cream, pasta and tomatoes look for a name that ends with a vowel!! I love seeing the little Tuck man and am glad that you mentioned adding the bananas to the compost heap. On that note, do you think you can do an update on your composting process? Cheers! ❤🐕☕🍦♥
🎉🎉🎉🎉. 🎉🎉🎉. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great stuff brother, I use hard wood ash from my grill to get potash into the soil. This too is a great Idea I also grow Truly Tiny Bananas, I will use end up using the leaf and trunk as a chop and drop. Hoping that helps out in my garden as well
I don’t normally do this, but wouldn’t it be interesting to pull up the root stock beneath the banana tomato and see whether the banana has completely decomposed over the course of the season?
I save my banana peels in a bag in the freezer. Can either use the peels straight under a plant or dehydrate the peels to use as a powder for a top dressing later in the year. I like the powder better as the critters will dig up the peels under my plants.
Great job! Beautiful plant! ❤
Wow this is awesome! I am looking forward to trying this natural trick I didn’t get but 2 gallons due to flooding in June it knocked out my tomatos and stunted my bell peppers, my bells never grew higher than 2 ft but have finally started to produce. In spring I will grow in tubs on pallets just incase if I get heavy rains again. Great vid James
What a really cute little dog‼️………Peace be with the 2 of toy and our country 🇺🇸………☮️🥰🌻
Very interesting and fun! Thanks James and Tuck 💜💜💜
Love that Tuck! Love your fun and knowledgeable videos James.
❤❤❤Love watching harvest his own veggies. Going to give this a try next season.
Good luck to you, the more the merrier especially for out young people grow up, we need to get them outside ❤️🍀
Jerzee James & Tuck, your tomatoes are a beautiful color & so productive! My tomatoes & cucumbers were awful this yr! Think all the heat, smoke & lack of normal summer weather created a unhealthy environment! There is always next year! Hope Tuck is doing good with his Yorkie issue! ❤🐾🐾💚
I tried electroculture copper wiring on my tomatoes this year, ran one row with and one row without. The outcome sold me, in comparison a huge difference existed. Even the neighbors were amazed.
Help me with copper wiring.I don't know about it.Please help me
@@RichardMoyo-xb4wn just look up electroculture and get yourself a small spool of copper wire and lace it up
@@RichardMoyo-xb4wn copper is naturally anti microbial… so helps with disease resistance. Not sure what else it would help with.
I've been adding my cracked eggs from my hens to my garden. I use banana peels by drying them in the oven, grind them up and using them as a fertilizer or adding it to water and letting it steep for several days and adding it to more water to use when watering.
Would this technique work in containers as well? Or would the potassium be too concentrated? I’m guessing it all depends on what plants are planted? Thanks for a great video, James. ❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck!
Thanks for sharing, just makes me want a garden.😊
I had bad bananas like yours.
And I had to plant a Loropetalum. A flowering shrub.
She grew beautifully, and I need to prune it regularly.
I’m not surprised your tomatoes did so well.
I love watching your Wizardy my friend, thankyou, sending love from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
May Light, Love and Wisdom be with all 🙏💚🧙♂️
We love tomatoes and plan to experiment with this the next growing season in our little food Forest! ❤❤❤❤❤ as always for Tuck!!
Your garden is inspiring! Great work and thanks for the great videos.
He’s so sweet ❤️ Love little Tuck!
Very interesting! Never heard of this but worth trying, thanks for sharing.
Good evening.
i have a lemon plant in my front yard and it didnt ever produce more than 4-5 lemons whenever it bloomed, so i buried sun dried banana peels near the roots of the plant and a few weeks later it had so much blossoms that it coudnt even handle it and alot of them just fell off but now it has almost 15-20 lemons already forming on it, fyi my lemon is very young and just 3-4 feet high with just 3 total branches :D
Love the video. Thanks for the information. Love you Tucker.
Let's Gooo!!! You're welcome, it was a fun video to make!
WOW!!!! How great did that turn out!
The beautiful tomatoes plant I have seen. Gratitude love you.
Love it! Those tomatoes are looking great!!!!!!!
Thanks! Yeah, the plants grew fantastic!
I will so be doing this come spring. Thanks for the idea!
James, if you had to pick one tomato purely for taste, what would it be? I'm just south of you in Delaware, so our climates are similar and one of my favorite foods is tomatoes. I grew a little San Marzano in a big pot on my front steps this year, and while it fruited well, it just doesn't have the real pungent flavor I expect from a plum tomato. If you've already done a video on tomato comparison, plz advise. Love and pets to Tuck.
Thanks for this brilliant idea. I'll try it out next year. Keep em coming!
mash overripe bananas, add whatever you want, spread on parchment paper to about 1" or a bit less thick, bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Yum :) I add peanuts, peanut butter powder, cranberries that are dried, and cocoa in any combination.
Tuck is so cute. What a trooper he is.
Thank you for sharing. Will try bananas on my plants. I love Tuck❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brah...i havent got an update from you in a grip....your the man sir ! Keep being an exceptional American 🫡 🇺🇸🦅🙏.my aunt always fed her hanging stag horn with nanners...love those plants
Great channel. Very informative and the host is super creative
Someone gave me a box of overripe bananas in June. It was more than I could use. Sadly the extras began to ferment and attract fruit flies so I naturally put the whole box in a large plastic bag and closed the top. A month later the box fell apart inside the bag. Once I was ready to refill my compost bin I dropped that whole box in there and it was soup dejour for the worms. :)
I've been gardening with bananas forever. I compost them, and fertilize my gardens, with them every spring. ❤❤
You are so loved - you and Tuck, that is. i am watching the counter of 👍gom higher and higher as the vid progresses, and i'm smilimg. Those tomatoes look amazing, James - yum!
Hi great video. You don't have to use the hole banana everything the plants need is in the peal. It's great for when you take cuttings and all sorts. Keep up great work
This is great. I couldn't make it to church Sunday due to health issues so my niece and I watched the stream. It was amazing.
Had to share this. Great video - thank you!
I'd love to see a video about garden planning with Tuck eating your crops in mind.
Great video. As an avid gardener I enjoy watching people try different things to help them grow better.
Q: Will just the banana peels be as effective as whole banana?
Thank you and ❤❤❤ for you and Tuck.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck is a great worker!
Thanks for being honest,I believe got the true answers at the end of video 🍁🍂. Love Tuck ♥️
This was so interesting.
I've heard you should break an eg in the hole before you plant you tomatoes.
Love you, Tuck! ❤
I love your observations and deductions. You are a great gardener and teacher. And a lot of fun!!!!! Thank you James. Tuck is an all star!❤❤👍👍
I used these small tomatoes to make salsa and canned it. Best results ever!
Thank you for this James and Tuck ❤️ Could just using the banana peel be as effective?
No doubt you could just use the peel, but the banana fruit would attract even more earth worms to the site and their castings would be very beneficial.
I used half pound salmon heads under my tomatoes this year and i usually have nitrogen issues so for me the result was awesome, full sets amd strong vines.
Very good info thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing idea, Thanks James 🌱
❤️ just love seeing tuck
Tuckie's little tongue-tongue is waving at the end❤🧡🖤💜💙🤎💚🤍🖤💙🧡💛💜💙💚💗🧡🤍🤎💜💙💚💖🧡💛🖤
I buried some sardines under my celebrity tomatoes this year, and also did fertilize 2-3 times with organic fert. I'm STILL waiting for some of the original tomatoes to turn red!!! Honestly think it might be a "not enough sun" thing, but the sardines didn't help at all, imo. The thickness of your stems is amazing though, mine can't even compare. Next year, I'm planting Mountain Magic, Supersweet 100. I wish I wasn't the only one in my family who likes tomatoes!
DObry pomysl z tymi bananami.Dziekuje.Super.
Last year I saw a video which suggested putting an egg under a tomato plant, and I did that. I did not see any difference between that plant and other plants. However, I will try putting a banana as you suggested next year.
I love you Tuck!!! Want to see you more often!
I know right, Tuck is so cuddly ❤
I just water with banana water. Peels or whole bananas either way. Save peels (let they dry out) and then add them to your garden or water. Barrell of water and just add banana. Keep adding water. The flower production will be overwhelming...but you'll need insects to pollinate sl many blossoms! My 50 plants were heavy in production.
Thank you for your time
Consiglio interessante James,lo proverò....thank you!!👍😃
I told my wife to plant me in the food forest so I can feed my trees 😂. She would need to put a pear tree over me though.
Hugs and smooches Tuck !! Thanks for the video James ! That was really interesting!!
Do you ever make sauce from cherry tomatoes? Or even just passata? It's a good way to use up all those beautiful tomatoes and it tastes incredible.
Man this video is very informative. I think I will try that!
Let’s Gooo!!!!
I make a banana peel fertilizer and the tomato plants love it.
What is your recipe??? ❤
I did the same like you and its really successful, yearly I harvested more tomatoes at the backyard, also I add powdered egg sheel around my tonato plants
I grow pretty much all year long because I live in a warm humid climate. I am going to try the banana trick with a few of my Red Robin tomatoes 🍅
Wow I'm looking forward to trying this thanks for sharing!!!!!
nice video and great idea. We already use them on roses. didnt think about the tomatoes! We get the bananas marked down at the store for like .25/bunch.
Your garden is amazing.
❤❤❤❤ Love Tuck!!
I know you've said in another video, but I forgot...do youvuse determinate or indeterminate tomatoes for your tomato trees?
Great gardener! Do u have a video on how you prune your tomatoes early on?
I ferment the banana’s peal in a liter of water for 2-4 days and add the liquid after in a galón or two of water and added to my cucumber plants. 2-4 times in the season. I had so many cucumbers cucumbers 🥒
Great stuff. Thanks. Garden State Strong!!!
Petani kebun yang hebat. Saya menyukai video videonya yang luar biasa. Ide ide kreatifnya sangat menginspirasi
Love Tucker!!!❤️❤️❤️
