Do you mind explaining how you water your entire garden? I've been watching you for years and I have come to believe that you don't water anything, I live in Utah and this seems to not be possible due to the hot summer. So if you could cover in depth on if you water and how. Thank you in advance.
@turbo6186 - No gardener never waters! Lol Why would you ever let that idea get into your head just because you didn’t see him water? You’re right that is impossible to pull off a garden like his without watering. He even pointed out how he waters only at the base. If you haven’t put any mulch down around your plants, definitely do so, as that helps retain moisture, and keeps the sun off of the soil, which will kill microbes that are beneficial to the plants and the soil. Also help avoid water, splashing back up on the leaves, Which he mentioned can create problems If and when that happens.
You can pull suckers and put them in a vase of water to root then plant. New plant.
Yes I did this last year, was amazed
Yes you can!!!
I wanna double 'like' on this comment! Jump on that succession planting!
Yep, who doesn't like free plants!?
I did that this year and I got a lot of tomatoe plants doing this.. no extra seed sowing 😊
Thanks! Very clear and precise. I wont let my tomatoes turn onto monsters any more😂!
I like the back of the shirt. I think you should put a little pac man looking Tuck on there and have it like he has cut a trail through the garden eating all his favorite veg
That’s a cool idea!
You need to make a " Team Tuck" shirt
Yes perfect !!!
I'd buy it.
This is exactly what I've been waiting on! Thanks James for showing the right pruning method. All 16 of my tomato plants are doing great!
Your enthusiasm is simply wonderful!
Let’s Gooo!!! 😁🐕❤️
Thanks for sharing the advanced tomatoe pruning methods!
I live in the humidity of swampy southern Virginia. After last years experiment I've discovered that double leaders on each plant, with top pruning all other suckers (leaving the flowers) is just enough to slow the growth so I'm not dropping string too often and it gives me maximum harvest for the full season (no blossom drop) and gives me the best disease resistance. Keeping the airflow maximized while making sure there's enough leaves to shade the roots (without touching the ground) has been the BEST strategy for my high heat high humidity growing season. I also make sure I'm mulched in well and water without splash. Last year was a fabulous harvest and this year looks to be going really well! Hope everyone has a great growing season! Much love to Tuck and the brothers! ❤
I’m in NC and that’s exactly what I’ve done so I’m glad to hear it was the right choice!
I wanna double tap on this comment, too!
I’m in Southern Virginia, zone 8b. Would love to know your favorite and most successful tomato varieties. The heat and humidity is always a challenge in my garden!
@@SeashellSeashell-du1sl Cherokee Purple hands down... grown in the shade of trees is my #1 producer. I grow Roma Improved VF as my determinate most years and can get them through blossom drop in the shade.... and if I get them in before Mother's day I can grow 2 croppings in one season. Yellow pear suffer from cracking, Supersweet 100 are a great cherry. I put in Arkansas Black this year after 3 years of struggling with Black Krim. Dr.Wychy's Yellow is not a good one for our area due to early blight... but if you can push through they're amazing. Paul Robesons are great. If you like the flavor Brad's Atomic Grape are impressive performers! Prolific, disease and sun blast resistant, long lived... unfortunately I am not a fan of the flavor. I'm trialing Orange Muscat, Tropical Sunset, and Shimmer this season. I've also had luck with Abe Lincoln and Rutgers. Our biggest issues are direct sun and Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt. MY best advice is don't be afraid to plant in the shade and pay attention to spots harboring wilt in the soil... only plant VF resistant varieties in those spots. Best of luck!
@@jeas4980 I am blown away by your generous comment that is so packed with helpful information! Thank you, sincerely! I started getting more serious about my kitchen garden 5 years ago. I have been planting the usual and ready available tomatoes, such as, Better Boy, Big Boy, Big Beef, Celebrity, Early Girl. Some seasons have been better than others, but when the heat and humidity sets in, the struggle is constant. I am finally able to understand that in our specific climate, shade is a must for success. Cherokee Purple is written down in my gardening journal and thanks to you, will be on my list for next year along with your other suggestions. Again, thank you for sharing and for your kindness. 💚🌞
I did this for the first time this year. I can't wait to see the difference. Thank you for the clear precise tutorial. ♥♥♥ for Tuck.
I have always been afraid to prune for fear I would do it wrong. Thanks, James. Once again you have shown me the correct way to garden. ❤❤❤❤ for Tuck.
One of the best aspects of your videos is you explain the science behind everything but, you do it simply enough for anyone to understand. And spraying alcohol on your tools to reduce the risk of spreading disease is brilliant! James, I love your videos soooo much!!! 😊
Several years ago learned to cut off and re-root suckers for more plants. You need them to be a bit bigger, but I used to over winter a tomato in my kitchen and then cut off all those branches to start my new garden plot. I stopped because my passionfruit, figs and banana plants took over my kitchen. Also, hanging upside down whole vines by my ceiling of unripe green tomatoes for winter harvesting, somehow self-seed into all of my tropical pots.
Because of you, i am start8ng my own food forest! A 3 year project! ❤❤❤Tuck❤❤❤
I never considered letting the suckers flower and then topping them! I will definitely be adding this to my method
The young king has spoken!
Jerzee James, Tuck is looking good, got a summer fur cut! ❤🐾🥰 Cool t-shirt too! You are the tomato king! 🍅❤💚🍅
Dude! I love these hybrid pruning techniques! These are the experiments I've been doing for over 25 yrs. In that time, I've learned how to treat every plant as an individual. Dig it, you force a plant to do what you want. She might not be happy. You can let her do her thing. You might not be happy. There's always room for compromise. Keep it clean 'down there' and let yer grow wild, baby!
We never prune our tomatoes and they have always produced well. Last year we let our tomatoes trail on the ground and we have never had so much fruit we did get two tomatoes hornworms but that was all . I just wanted to say you don't have to go by professional advice try something new. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤s for Tuck keep making videos.😊
The indeterminate technique only gives you more fruit if you take advantage by planting many plants in high density - ex 1 per square foot in James's example. If you plant 1 per square foot and do not prune, you will end up with a hedge - surely lots of fruit still, but it's an inefficient approach.
Personally, I do a set up almost identical to James' with the methodically pruned vines in a high visibility spot which everyone who sees ooohs and ahhhs over, but then also let a few chaotic beds grow where I sow and then ignore - I get TONS of fruit from both, but I love the tidy aesthetic of the pruned vines. Which one is more efficient of time and money? Who cares :D
The great thing about gardening is just doing whatever you like will almost always end up being wonderful, enjoy!
My dad and his buddies used to actually allow the plans to grow on the ground, but staking them up off the ground. They would turn into 30 foot tomato plants I kid you not. We lived in Hawaii On the big island where I was born and raised so that might have something to do with it. No frost And year-round fairly temperate climate
Thanks! I have wondered where I'm supposed to actually cut. Headed to the garden now. 🍅 Hello Tuck!❤❤❤
only time this has been explained well to me. and just in time! thank you to you and Tuck
Luv You all ❤❤❤❤❤ Tuck and his family for training us each and everyday. !!!!!
He is a beautiful rascal
The young king is handsome little fella and we love him ❤❤❤❤
Great work, little Tuck! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your videos! ❤
I just started growing tomatoes after my grandmother passed away and I’m carrying on her legacy. Thank you for helping out! 🥰
The smell of tomato plants reminds me of my grandmother. She loved to garden, too.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for Tuck!
Love Tuck ❤ I love watching your videos, you are so informative. Thank you for your helpful videos.
Thank you for the tips Tucker and James! 🙌🍅
Good good. I like how you gave options with pruning suckers and how it affects fruit production. Yay for more 'maters!
I do a lot of trimming too like that taking the suckers off but once they get way up there, I just usually leave it, but I like it really bare underneath so there ain’t no leaves touching the ground, but some of them suckers if they’re so big you can still cut them and stick them in wateror take some paper towels and get it wrapped in there and get them keep them wet and they could produce another plant
🫑🍅🥕❤❤❤Love for you and Tuckie Boy!! Super good video. This is great!
You are so good for young gardeners like me
Thank you soo much
Following your advice on the tomatoes and they are looking spectacular. Hearts for the king❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤ hardworking Dogs need rewards
Thanks, that was very helpful!
Thanks for all the tomato tips, I've been out in my garden this evening and trimmed them up just like you said. I'm excited to try the extra sucker thing to get more fruit 🍅🍅🍅
Just saw the notification but l'm off to work, l'll watch during lunch. lt's winter in Australia now bloody cold. l haven't been getting notifications, it happens occasionally, happy gardening and hope Tuck is doing ok.
I have been desperately looking for the pruning with this telling system!!! Thank you for your help. I’m raising Hungarian Heart this year. I was insecure about How to prune. Blessings to y’all and Tuck. Thank y’all again!
This information is right on time for me. Thank you! 💙💙💙
So true, there is nothing like a fresh, homegrown tomato! Good pointers, thank you. And t-shirt design is REALLY COOL! ❤❤❤❤❤for Tuck, who is so cute and such a good helper!

Thanks brother! in C.T. , Gonna do this today. You are defiantly a pro!
bro i followed you since your mini shed and backyard garden you had many years ago, i finally able to start my own food forrest. this is good inspiration
Hey Tuck, It’s nice seeing you!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this very helpful advice. Tomato plant, here I come! ❤❤Tuck❤❤
You must have fencing all around!
The deer have discovered my garden and ate my tomato plants last year!
I didn’t even know they LIKED tomatoes!
So I had to put a welded wire fence around them this year. So far, so good!
I had been pruning and taking out most suckers.
The plants looked pretty scraggly last year.
This year I’m not taking the suckers to get more fruit.and the one Sweet 100 that the top broke off will be experimental this year to see what happens to it and it that will have affected the fruit production.
I’ll let you know!
Thank your for sharing. You are a wealth of information. ❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck!
thank u for sharing! love for Tuck❤
That Team Grow shirt is amazing. I also love that you went over pruning and advanced pruning. When people ask how to prune I always say "it depends" and I go over the basics for easy pruning, and mention the advanced methods you talked about here that they might want to wait to get into once they have the basics figured out.
Very informative, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another great video
❤ You rock, Tuck!
I appreciate the information about sterilization of pruners before going to the next plant. I always wondered about that.
I've never grown tomatoes, but now I know how. Two woofs for the boss! 🐕❤
love this!!!
Enormously helpful for me. I’m a container gardener with a sunny patio with southern exposure. My indeterminate tomatoes often get sun scald. Going to try keeping and managing suckers.
A shade cloth will help prevent scalding.
Great video, thanks and Love Tje King!
Fantastic. Clear information.. JJ
Tuck ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ have a great week James and Tuck.
Ive never seen this idea definitely going to try on a few tomatoes and compare
Thanks for all the tips! ❤❤ for Tuck.
I’m dealing with some pest pressure which I discovered during pruning yesterday. The fun never ends!
That new shirt looks awesome! lol, reminds me of my Dad’s first garden in 1970. I think I played the role of Tuck back then and did a lot of snacking while working! 😂
Great video, love Tuck too! Nice shirt!
Love this video❤ so much consise information that I will be trying.
I'm following MillenialGardener's lead and planting in partial shade. I'm using trees, not shade cloth, but even in Mo, our UV index is already over 8 and we are in mid-to-high 90s. Over 60 tomatoes and counting. I have a few more dwarf and determinate tomatoes I will put in grow bags in July. It's my saffeguard against 95% humidity when its 95 degrees. but so far, the tomato forest is so good! Thank you for all of these excellent reminders! I need to prune this weekend. ALL the things need it.
Absolutely beautiful ❤ Awesome Hi baby T🐾🐶
Tuck is the best ❤❤❤❤❤and your videos are a great way to learn about how to get a better garden
Thank you!
really good explanation.
Love your new shirt. Thanks for zooming in when you show the actual places to cut. ❤
I just got a new tomato plant and this will help me a lot
Doing this this year, thanks again!
Thanks!
I really needed to see this. My tomato plants have tons of afros 😅 going to focus on them today 👍🏾 thank you for this 👍🏾
I think that shirt is awesome! Great job!
I started pruning my tomatoes a bit late, the suckers were huge, so I kept those with flowers. Will follow your advise with taking off everything else on those. I hope they will do okay!
Thank you I appreciate your reminding me to remove suckers and use the alcohol to cauterize the cut. Zone 8a NC. Very hot here!
Tuck is sooooo cute! ♥ ♥ ♥
Excellent Thank you 🍃🌿
❤❤❤ for Tuck!
Great video 🌳👊😃🌳
I have grown lemon boy tomatoes and they are the best tomato on the planet we made some burgers with them and they should be called the lemon boy burger incredible taste like a lemon 😊
