- Tomato planting day is finally here! Which is good, because they've become too BIG for my house. We'll get some holes made for them, pour in some compost slurry, and amend them with some good all-purpose fertilizer. Hopefully, I'll have another season like I did last year!

You should try to take your drill off of the drill setting and use one of the torque number settings that way if it catches on something it will stop turning before it has a chance to twist your wrist around
You beat me to it. Lots of stories of people ending up in ER for drilling holes gardening. I have arthritis so hubby is always on me also about "2 hands on the drill & keep at low setting" 😉 We don't want you hurt Rachel. ♥️
Thank u for posting this comment! U rock! Gonna try this when my auger comes in the mail!
Good tip!
About to say the same thing!!
I put a side grip on my drill too. I work with my hands. Gotta protect them.
I think the wind chimes were pretty sounding. Thank you for telling the varieties, I was wondering.
Between y'all, and Becky over at Acre Homestead. It's been a terrific tomato Wednesday! 🍅
I am so happy for you Rachael finely getting your tomato plants in the ground.
Thank you for sharing your secret of molasses and milk.
Blessings to you Both !!!
😍✝️💟
I love so many things about my husband, but having him to open jars is up there on the list 😂
Thanks for the great tips. We will be planting the tomatoes around May 15th, have been watching our over night temps. 👍🌱
So cool seeing you getting your tomato plants in the ground !! W're in Autumn here in New Zealand and my plants have all finished off. I was interesting in your secret sauce :) A gardening site here in NZ I purchase from recommended putting 1 Tablespoon of milk powder and 1 T of Epsom salts in each hole, mix into the soil and pop the plant in. They said that contains everything the plant needs. I did get a bumper crop so I'm sticking with it. Any 'milk brew' seems to be great :) Thanks for another fun video ~ Linda
Yay! Tomatoes in the ground! Great job Rachel!
My third tomato planting video today! Apparently there was a homestead planting memo this past weekend! 😁😎🍅 Yay! Let the tomatoes begin!
Beautiful Tomato Plant n I personally have always Loved ur garden have a gd n Blessed day🙏😃
What a great way to dig holes, thanks for showing that.
I could watch your videos all day every day! I enjoy the knowledge you spread and you’ve inspired me so much! It’s my first year gardening this year and we already are about to harvest squash and tomatoes 🍅❤️
Omgoodness so glad Todd came to help you digging those holes. Thank you for sharing. Will absolutely go look at the other videos. You're so kind. Stay safe 💐💙🙏
As usual I started too many seedlings of tomatoes. Picked out the best ones from 8 varieties for my use, contacted family, friends and neighbors, and sold a bunch out front by the road and made $400. I wasn't intending on planting 58 tomatoes. I finally bit the bullet and started planting them! They are getting so big. 44 are waiting for the two raised beds to get filled, it was too dang hot to cut wood for filling the bottom half. I kind of over planted squash, peppers, and cucumbers too. :)
Nice and tall tomato plants. I like your milk mixture. May try that. Great way to dig the holes. Thanks Rachel 💚
Hi Rachel. It is a beautiful day to plant a gorgeous garden of tomatoes. Some people ask the number one question about the roots. Are you suppose to brake them up before you plant? I say just plant and watch them grow. God Bless you Rachel for making your garden look lovely. Stay safe my friend. Maria. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Looks delicious!!! One of my best recipes was handed down by my grandfather who was part of a traveling band of clowns which toured the country in the 1930s and 40s. Not only did he fully participate as a performer (juggling and spraying seltzer mostly) but he was also in charge of the Clown Chuckwagon, and over the years, came up with a nice selection of mostly campfire stews (or "or stewge" as Gramps used to call them),, soups and casseroles. One of my favorites, casseroles, which I still prepare frequently, consists of baked beans and wieners (for the KETO portion of the meal), macaroni and cheese. and a couple handfuls of those big orange circus peanuts - a sweet yet savory bake-up that's a hit with everyone who tries it. Gramps had one clown name for performing with his fellow troupers at carnivals, civic events, etc., throughout the central Midwest ""Antsy Pants" - but around the campfire at breakfast or suppertime, when most of these talented vagabond buffoons had removed their make-up and hung their giant shoes in their campers, (but oddly enough not all of them) Gramps was affectionately known among the boys as "Yummo." He told me how it wasn't unusual for farmers to donate a hen or two and maybe a couple of dozen eggs, in return for a brief barnyard slapstick performance by a couple of the boys for the farmer, his family and his hired hands.. He also told me as soon as he got back to camp with the chickens, the alcoholic Geek who traveled with them would inevitably beg permission to bite the heads of the pullets when Gramps was ready to get those birds cooking. Seemed that this particular Geek actually not only savored the taste of the live chickens he was required to eat (which were usually provided by the promoter of the event at which the troupe was performing) - but craved more when "off=the-clock" Talk about a Carnivore diet!! Wow!!! Reportedly, he was known to comment that "live chicken pairs well with a pint of Carstairs White Seal Blended." By the way, Grandma also traveled with Gramps. She was the seamstress - making a good number of the clown suits from her own design and repairing all them when required. So of course Gram and Gran rolled along from town- to -town with a big foot pump operated sewing machine in their trailer, - in addition to all the pots, pants, cutlery, stirrers, etc. My Dad was born in a campground in Posey County, Indiana, delivered by a local midwife and plopped into a casserole baking dish as soon as Gramps cut the umbilical cord with his second best onion chopping knife. As for me, I married young and did well for myself in doing so. My wife is the daughter of an oiutdoor parking lot magnate in a major city in Ohio. I was dowried with three downtown lots. I've had a comfortable life pretty much doing whatever I want all day while other people collect money on my behalf while sitting down in booths, watching TV, reading (or even snoozing between customers arriving and honking the horns to wake 'em up). Consequently, for awhile, I was able to open a couple of storefront business which specialized in selling "clown suits for the whole family," including custom made if somebody wanted them - and even clown suits for the family pets. The seamstresses I hired used Gram's patterns, of course. . The stores were called "Hem and Ha!" - and with every sale, I usually threw in a copy of one of Gramps' recipes for a clown casseroles, "silly stew," "buffoon bread, "Punchinello Porridge,," or what have you. Of course, they all pair well with seltzer water. Thank you for allowing me to share America's Test Kitchen . Bon apetit!😁
Commented on How to Make Potato, Green Bean and Tomat
Did you ever think of reserving a section of your garden for compost only and other parts for your "tricks" in the same season? Or in the case of your molasses and milk thing, try applying it to some of your tomatoes and just grow the others with your simple method.
Personally, I am so cheap and lazy, I hate doing anything extra that doesn't make me go "wow"!
Cheers and thanks for the many entertaining videos.
I wish I could plant my tomatoes, but it snowed here yesterday and looks like it may snow today, at least I can watch your videos to fulfill my gardening needs.
Doesn’t it feel awesome to get your hands in the dirt?? Best feeling ever! Looks great :)
Beautiful tomatoes! Looking forward to watching your garden grow!
Rachael thank you for the secret sauce tip. Love your videos which are filled with knowledge and wisdom.
Good job getting it all planted! 💜
I'm still waiting to get my things in the ground. I put in radiahes & cucumber seed. My garlic is beautiful, but my asparagus isn't showing yet. Such a kick in the pants with this freezing, now wet spring. I'm going to try your milk recipe. I have mineral buckets to grow in. I hope that helps the soil/ compost perk up. 💚🌞
I share your struggle! I just got my spring crops in (my kale is about 3” high) and now it feels like go-time for summer crops! GR MI zone 6a. Plan to move forward with my baby summer plants and let the spring crops grow out…or bolt. Will just roll with it ☺️
Love the wind chimes
I’m not too far from you. But just now hardening off my tomatoes. It’s tempting me to get my tomatoes in by the end of the week but I feel we always gets a late freeze the 3rd(ish) week of May
Still too wet and cold here in 8b, near Silver Falls Oregon. Last frost date was April 7. That didn’t happen and the rain has been relentless. Night temps are still in the 40 and 50 range. What?? It will be ok, I keep telling myself because if I plant tomatoes now, it would be a worse set back than waiting. I so going to try your secret sauce.
I put a few of mine in today! 6b NY state. Many more to go tomorrow. Thank you!
Lol, my tomato tips published at 4pm too!
Perfect timing!
I was JUST wondering yesterday whether you would do this again this year! It worked great for me, too, so I'm planning on it 🥰
Nice to see it's warming up for yawl. It in the mid to upper 90's here in central Texas, the heat came on way to quick. God Bless, Mike
Ive got cherokee purples and Anna Russians. Tossed some rock phosphate in each hole they look amazing already! Picked first flowers off so it concentrates on veg growth for awhile
I'm always learning from you guys! Thank you.
Nice video good luck with your tomatoes I don't put them out until the end of May here in Boston.
Get you a Power Planter and the Dewalt drill that comes with it. It has a handle for added stability and control, and you can lower the torque on it. It makes planting so much fun! It's worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Hide it from your husband, though. Mine tries to sneak away with my drill all the time now! :)
I did banana water this year and had a great yield of tomatoes this year so now I am drying all my banana peels and powdering them for next years garden I also save my egg shells and dry them in my oven and crush them and put them in each hole to give my tomatoes and other plants calcium
Love the "secret sauce" . Might just try that this year!!
Great video. Happy gardening.
Rachel, you like the wood chips for ground cover over straw Ruth Stout method? I've heard before, that wood chips can be detrimental for garden, but now I'm hearing many people are using wood chips successfully?
Oh man that wind. Hurry up and secure them tomatoes to the fence. The wind broke two of mine after I planted them a couple of days later was so upset. I'm now trying to root the tops in water so i can still plant them.
Awesome, this is my first year growing the black Krims also. Can't wait to see how they turn out and taste.
Gonna try the milk n molasses trick Rachel...thanks your the best!! Ox from NH
Pop the handle on the drill that it comes with to save your wrists for next time 😊. I’ve clocked myself in the head at work before. I may need one of these this year. My beds have compacted a bit.
Thanks Rachel. I'll have to check out the "secret sauce" recipe. I'm a little afraid it will attract critters.
Late to the party here...but I cringed when I saw u drilling those holes! Whew glad u are okay!! I drill s-l-o-w! Two hands and put a lot of muscle on the top of the drill to keep it from twisting on me.....my hubby isn't one to b proactive about safety, but he did tell me when I asked him for a drill with more power to be careful or I could break my wrist....so I take it slow.
Also, last year I had had it with my TALL tomatoes just like yours....I was SICK of drilling such deep holes and even then it wasn't deep enough....So I vowed, NO MORE! I planted mine about 5 weeks before I could plant them out and I just planted mine and it was so much easier! I could be wrong, but I think they will b just as good if not not better. Time will tell. Glad u r okay!!
Could you guys do a mini tutorial on using the auger?
Injust saw someone in a group post they broke their wrist not using the proper setting or drill.
You guys have quite the following so getting the word out might help prevent accidents ❤️
30 plants! Wow! And I thought I was being excessive with 18 compared to my normal 6. I'm curious if you went through all of the tomatos you canned last year. By the way, I'll be using some of your recipes for my small tomato patch.
For long stems on tomatoes, some people dig a sloped trench to give more shallow rooting. And lay the plant diagonall,y within a day or two they turn and grow up.
Looking awesome! I'm not quite there yet on tomatoes and peppers going into the ground but soon.
With that wind, I would be afraid those tall tomato plants would break off! Remind me why you use the milk and molasses? I added homegrown compost to my beds, but nothing else. I guess I must live where the soil doesn’t need much, my tomatoes have always done amazing.
I hope to get my tomatoes planted in the next week or two. I am slow this year.
Right there with ya. It’s been a long cool wet spring, now it feels like summer is coming in with a whoosh!
Be careful with that drill, Ryan says hold it with two hands so you don't get hurt. 💜
Put your shin beside the drill so if it jams your leg will stop it. I have the same drill and that works for me.
Yesterday I was watching your video from August 2020. I was very interested in the way you were canning the different varieties of tomatoes... The Italian, Cajun and Mexican. I can't find it now so is there any possibility you could send me a link. Thank you thank you!
Yeah I'm in Michigan too. Its too early to plant tomatoes. Hopefully for you no more frost. I planted early one year and learned my lesson. I Always wait till end of May. They grow just fine End of May planting. Good luck too you and your tomatoes
Same here in thumb area,
In the U.P. I took my Grandpa's advice and waited until the first week of June to transplant tomatoes. Never lost any to frost.
Peppers like it much warmer, so transplant those a couple of weeks after tomatoes.
Hi Rachel can you please tell me wear you got the green stock from so I can get one
I just planted my mother in law's this past Saturday! What do you recommend for helping with tomato worms and with fertilizer?
Is the milk mixture just for tomatoes or can I use it on any plants?
That auger is hard for me to use too. Twists my wrist.
I love your channel you show a lot of good things especially with the milk I never would have thought about that but when you go to drill with that drill again you know what's going to swing and hurt your wrist put the drill against that fencing panel so it won't twist on you and love your channel
I like the wind chimes in the background
Can you share how much space your dedicating to your garden? And the number of separate beds you have? This is our first year gardening and I'm trying to get a feel for how much space we'll need for our goals.
Hi Rachel todd. I'v noticed little white bugs fast moving buggers in my seedling pots. Are they dangerous do you have them how do you deal with them?
This is my first year gardening and I harvest 4 Roma style tomatoes!!! I think I have a gardeners high! I'm shocked that I have 2 yellow squash growing right now too!
I saw you didn't break up the roots when you took it out of the cup, does that matter? Or is it OK? I've seen a bunch of videos where they loosen them all up.
Her roots weren’t root
Bound
We did the one's that needed it
Hi Rachel 👋
Can you use just store bought milk or does it have to be unpasteurized?
Do you harden off your tomatoes?
Had to giggle as you stirred your "brew" eith the stick - kept hearing "Bubble, bubble, toil & trouble....." Read too much Shakespear in school. Lol
Thanks for sharing hon 😘
Garden looks great! You don’t have any weeds growing in your broken down woodchips! What is your secret?
Love your wind chimes in the background!
What’s your weather forecast going forward? Want to plant in Wisconsin
I’m confused about your recipe...you said you added the milk/molasses mixture to your compost...but the compost in the buckets has a lot of liquid in it already. Wondering if you also added water?
Love your videos thank you
What was the other gifted tomato variety?
dp you use the all purpose fertilizer on your green beans also?
Not when I direct sowed them.
Hi Rachel & Todd., have a good day Planting, you are so good @ what you do with Blessed Hands 5-11-2022😊😊
Thanks for the video.
Thank you
Can you please share how you got your soil so black and rich? God Bless
years and years of adding organic matter. leaves, grass clipping, hay, straw.
Try bracing the battery of the drill against the inside of your right leg. That's how I use a large hammer drill with less risk.
I put sardines in the holes lol
Where did you get that drill auger? I love that!

When do you start your tomato starts?
1 month ago: ruclips.net/video/7NakemF3xVI/видео.html&
So this year, I was told that to get more tomatoes, when planting them, to plant the root bed on an angle, have you ever hear of this, I haven't, but I will try planting one on an angle to see what happens.
Hi Rachel, I am going to use your secret sauce recipe for some of my tomatoes that I need to plant out. Do you mind if I film it? I will of course credit you. If you're not comfortable with it, I completely understand. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm actually going to film it. I am so behind this spring and I am just getting things done and not filming as much as I could/should. So either way is ok with me. Thanks in advance 🙂
With credit is always appreciated ❤️
@@1870s Absolutely! Thank you! ❤️
Trying to get my subscribe to stick. Thumbs up, Commenting, and Watching!
Hello everyone i greetings to you all 😃👋👍
Dig to China 😄 I haven’t heard that since I was a kid.
What was the name of the fertilizer that you used for your tomatoes?
Bio live. They have smaller packages too amzn.to/3l8LOEJ
@@1870s thank you
I don’t have a cow… can I use store bought milk?
Yes
Hello beautiful friend
Next time pop the jar on the bottom of your hand a couple times. Works for me. 😊
What is your secret sauce recipe please?
I use fish guts and my tomatoes have been 10’ high in the past.
Could you put your secret sauce recipe in the description?
I broke my wrist using an auger bit on a drill. I really discourage anyone (but especially women) from using them. Its hard to garden with a cast and the medical bills far outweigh not having a garden at all.
Okay I have to ask. Are you ever sore after crouching like that planting for hours? I go out and just water and prune my tomatoes and stuff for maybe 10 minutes at a time on the weekends and I'm SORE!! No, maybe just me? Dang I'm old LOL
Only a little bit
Thankfully, all you need to grow a bountiful harvest of tomatoes is a healthy plant, healthy soil, sunshine and water....no milk, molasses, eggs, Tums, fish heads, bananas or epsom salt.
