I'm impressed she's so good. A good teacher. I wanted to do this and I have watched many videos that didn't help. Lots of people don't know that Farming should be taught in practice. Thanks, beautiful lady.
I've been listening to Sarah for several rounds now. Probably five or six times. Invaluable lesson. I am now ready to venture into tomato growing in a tunnel greenhouse here in Mbita on the shores of Lake Victoria, Kenya. Thank you, Sarah.
Wow, trellising and pruning made so simple! The time-lapse of the trellising process (18:27) was mesmerizing and super helpful for visual learners like me.
Thank you so much for all of the great information on seed starting, planting, trellising, pruning, and harvesting tomatoes. Even though I have had gardens for many years, I really struggle here in the deep South in Georgia, where even in Spring the temperatures can soar over 90 degrees and we have extremely high humidity which means we are always dealing with fungus, pests, and disease issues when it comes to growing tomatoes. I think a few of your tips will really help me be more successful in avoiding some of the pest and disease issues I have had with tomatoes. I really appreciate the free guide also, thank you.
Your video is so comprehensive and informative, thank you. I made a lot of mistakes this year and wish I saw this video at the beginning of my season. I am from South Africa and our season will start in August so I will be following your advice and can't wait to see the results. Thank You.
You are such an excellent teacher. I find that ladies do a far better job of giving just the facts and don't get caught up with themselves. Thank you very much.
Very professional. Well produced and presented. Excellent organization, and very didactic class. Everything a viewer would need, listed below. WOW. Can't remember watching a more professional video on agriculture
What ever they are paying you is not enough! You did a marvelous job on explaining everything so well. Thank You so much for this. The only thing you didn't cover was doing a soil test and talking abouth the correct Ph for growing tomatoes in. I'm a beginner to gardening and this was something I had hoped to learn. Perhaps you did mention it and I missed it. I will still give you 5 stars for this presentation!
I love this video and how it was done . Very informative! Hopefully you guys will be doing more like this in the future with other plants and livestock. 🙏
Using a germination chamber to control temperature and humidity is such a smart idea! It really helps ensure seeds sprout in the perfect conditions 7:16
10:16 Thanks to the channel for sharing effective tips on growing and caring for plants. I have applied them to my home garden and found the results to be much better!
Great info. I'll never be a market grower, but I have a large family. Growing and preserving is normal for us. I learned a few things, I'll try next year. Thank you for sharing. 😁👍
Thank you so much for sharing this Invaluable information .. We are purchasing our 1st high tunnel and you Video tutorial have given me so much insight..
So impressed. by the work that goes into this. 10k lbs sounds like a huge number when you read the video titla but when you consider that they are attempting to market there production it amazes me how tight their margins would be. Farming as a business has to be a strong passion to get through all the peaks and valleys of just one season. We should remind ourselves of all this when we go to the farm market and look at the price of organic heirloom tomatoes. Hearing people complain about $3.99 lb prices at the stand makes me wonder if people understand what goes into making those fresh organic vegetables available.
With as much work as I put into my garden, and the amount of food that comes out of it all things considered, food should be WAY more expensive! OMG the hours it takes!. TY for the thorough video. Saving to re watch next spring before another go at tomatoes!
Yep, we used to think that way when we were living in the city but now that we moved out to the farm growing our own food open our eyes and understand the price of the "real" organic food. Thank you.
Nicely done in-depth video, I have been gardening for almost 40 years (practical, feed the family type) and have pruned and trellised my closely spaced, indeterminate tomatoes for many years. The seedling pruning is something I had not known or done, will be on my to do list next year. Thanks!
Last year, I did a side by side test with 4 Early Girl plants grown with double stems and 4 with single stems. My results were non-conclusive. Slightly more weight on the doubles maybe, but more small tomatoes at the two tops. I'm going to try another trial next year, doing the same thing with some MoneyMaker plants which are doing super well so far this year.
wow.. agriculture is advanced, modern and independent, I like this, it can be replicated in other countries that have special potential in agriculture. success always for Heifer USA. Thank you for the content, I hope it will be useful for the general public.
No I don’t grow anywhere close to this many tomatoes but did find a lot of great tips to use for our next greenhouse crop. From seed to seedlings, to creating double leaders to overhead trellising, I can certainly adapt these tips for a better bumper crop of our own.! I’m sure I’ll need to refer to this video from time to time until I can develop the best practical uses here in our greenhouse. Until then I’m happy to have found you and enjoy my subscription. Cheers from San Francisco..! 🥂
I'm struggling with the pruning, I feel so bad cutting off those suckers! lol... Loving this video there's a lot of information that I need to hear. Thanks for that.
It can be tough to cut off parts of the plant that are clearly thriving. But sometimes, it's the best way to increase your yield! Thanks for watching. We're glad we could help!
No one is interested in hydroponics! Except for people that don’t understand what goes into real healthy organic food hydroponics has no flavor and is lacking all the biodiversity in microbe activity that organic soil does 😅 Just because you can doesn’t mean you should 🤢
@@jeffreythiel5315 not everyone has access to organic soil you know that right? Especially people living in small islands where arable land is few. Some of us actually have to grow crops in alternative ways such as hydroponics. So weird never thought i’d come across a organic food loyalist. I hope you don’t get nightmares about hydroponics 😂
I'm going to try 20❤ I've successfully done 4 so decided to try starts to they've done beautifully . I'm doing beef boy, red cherry, Roma and several new ones all heirlooms n then I'll save seeds for next year. ❤🎉
Its amazing to see how its dam hard work in cultivating tomatoes thats why people should respect these farmers i am watching everything that what these guys doing its a strenuous jobs lots of concentration well done 🍜🤲🤲🤲 love this anatomy lesson
hello. Very useful information.I want to ask you a few questions. 1) When growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, what is the temperature and humidity? 2) when growing tomatoes in coconut briquettes, the frequency and rate of watering with water.3) the norm of illumination for tomatoes) . I'll give you a blog in advance.Thanks
26:54 There is nothing like the taste of tomato that ripened well on the plant. But I understand your reasons to pick them unripe... Thank you for the video!
I am about to plant a big tunnel like yours. You are the only grower in You Tube that’s lays the drip tape on top of the landscape fabric vs under it. Why on top? Very informative video
Hello, thank you for taking tour time to educate and share information. I just want to know how big is the greenhouse and how many plants tomatoe plants did you plant in total. Thank you.
You could double your tomatos by using a hook! We do that in germany. You can slide the plants while they are growing more of ghe length of the greenhouse.
I live in Louisiana. NO problem with Humidity!!!!. I'm not seeing anything about fertilization? What you use, how much, how often? Do you fertilize in the drip? What is your regiment on preventing blossom end rot?
Hi Wayne! Thanks for the great question. Here is a response from Sara Bakker: "I don’t usually fertilize during the growing season unless I notice a drop in yield or an obvious sign of malnutrition in the plants. The fertilization happens prior to transplanting when we prep the beds for the tomato tunnel, and we use feathermeal primarily. I use about 1 5-gallon bucket of feathermeal per 90ft bed mixed in and watered well prior to transplant. I have not had any issues with blossom end rot in my time at the ranch, which is usually either a sign of calcium deficiency or inconsistent watering. I check calcium levels in the soil prior to the planting season which allows me to make adjustments before the plants are in (some type of a lime treatment). Using a timer for your drip irrigation is the best way to ensure that your plants are getting water consistently and a good first step to dealing with blossom end rot if you are having that issue".
My question is about your tent. I am wondering if you anchored your tent and if so how, and what the highest wind speed is your anchoring method able to handle? I’ve just seen these storms are picking up in wind speeds lately. I think we’re in La ninja season.
The greenhouse is anchored into the ground permanently. We have had wind damage to the plastic before. It helps if you keep the doors closed and the walls up during a storm.
Hi Richard, we just amend the soil at the start of the season. If we need to add any organic fertilizer we use a proprietary blend from a local supplier that we inject through the irrigation system, but we usually don't have to if the soil is healthy enough.
Great video - thanks. Question from a short farmer: how do you prune and pick when the tomato plants are over 6' tall? (We were sad when you closed the Rutland farm.)
Noticed your comment about being vertically challenged. I learned a little bit differently about growing in a high tunnel. You will need to adapt your high tunnel for your height. I have a few videos from this season 2023 where we adapted a less than perfect tunnel for tomatoes. This system here will eventually terminate the plants before they are done producing. We like to lower the plants and cover the bare stems with soil/compost to allow them to keep growing. Lastly, if you're young and fit, go ahead and use a ladder but I find it slows management down tremendously, let alone the fall factor. Keep learning and adapting info to develop your own style. Cheers!
Super video on tomatos. Quick question...when my plants get to about 6 feet high the grow 4 feet wide and I cant get between the rows. Do you cut the branches as they grow? It get the the point i have tunnels i go through to pick tomatos. All your plants look. really thin.
