Thank you for your videos. I've learned a lot. Regarding the horn worm problem, I've found that planting basil with my tomatoes is very effective as I'm told hornworms don't like the smell of basil. So far, so good. NO hornworms this year at all!
Robbie, you are such a wealth of information! I've gardened much of my life and I still learn a lot of things from you. Keep up the good work! Bless you. 😁😘
Finally got my first pomegranate sprout from seed, all thanks to you. I only would plant a couple at a time and nothing. After watching your video I went crazy and planted a bunch and had faith and patience. Thank you for your encouragement. You have no idea how much this means to me. 💕❣️♥️💞💗🙏
I made my first fountain with the pump you recommended and OMG it is amazing. I wanted to let you know I have 3 more to do but you inspired me . I love all the things you and Gary have going on . His "brick" walled bed he made in that video is something I would like to try to build too. I am also doing chair gardens and layering them .
Oh, keep in mind, it is the Cherry Tomatoes that NEED those suckers, that is where all the tomatoes grow on, you would have cut your productions way down, Glad I could help, Thanks
This year we have an abundance of garter snakes, due to all the rain chasing them out. A Roadrunner has decided to help lower the population of said snakes. Hehe. So unusual to see a Roadrunner in town, but I have pics from several occasions. 🐍 Anyways, last year a Mockingbird pair built a nest in my Dipper Gourd arched trellis I built. Once they came, my tomato plant beside the gourds became worm free, and flourished! Now I know why! Haha! I had no idea, and had never put 2 & 2 together! So, that's awesome! I'll be adding even more branches around, this year. We have more tomato plants than ever, so we're going to need their help! 🐛🕊️ Love your videos, guys! Fun and helpful! 🌱🍅❤️🦋🙏🏼
How do you know just by looking that "this is a leaf and it won't grow fruit?" Basically my question is how does one know by just looking whether it will grow fruit or not.. Love your videos..
I will see if I can soon get a closer photo and explain that, maybe on my Garden Tour next week, I do that twice a month. The actual leaf looks very different for a "sucker" or plant stem, Thank you 😊
🇬🇧 I planted my three single stem tomatoes several weeks ago only to find a few days ago that two of them have another stem coming up from the base. One of them has flowers so I'm leaving both of them to grow and hope for the best and more tomatoes than I would have done. I've pruned leaves off at the bottom 12" and pruned all the other leaves so I have plenty of air round them. Love your vlogs Robbie. 💕💞💗💖 I took the overgrown stems from the axles two weeks ago and rooted them in water and I now have more tomato plants thàn I know what to do with. Going to try them in a sheltered but sunny spot outdoors. I'm probably going to leave some of the suckers on the main toms too.
I am with you, friend. I leave the suckers. One inadvertently broke off last week, so I have it in water to give to someone. I fertilize 2x a month and I have dozens of blooms and fruit. PS. I wish I ate peanut butter. Lol
It is so true, we planted a few beef steak tomato plants last year and were not sure if they were determinate or indeterminate variety. We decided to experiment with 1 plant trimmed out the suckered. Yes, it grow really big for a few weeks and then whole plant browned out and died, I think we got one tomato out of it. The other 3 we let it bush out and they produced leaves more than fruits before winter hits. They slowed to a point they look like they were gonna die. Winter came and gone they were still OK. By April 2021, they started to grow leaves and when the temp really warmed up in late May, boy the whole plants started to flowered like crazy! So we feed it some fish emulsion and some Epsom salt and now it is fruiting like 🤪. I will never trim out the suckers ever again. Thank you validating and explaining the method. I want to see if they will over winter again and continue in 2022 with more fruits.
I have some tomato plants that came up by themselves, too! I'm so happy, and now I have information on how to keep them healthier! Thanks, Robbie! I LOVE your videos!
Thank you for the tip on the bird perches in the tomatoes. I didn't know that, but will give it a try! I always enjoy seeing what you are doing in your garden. :-)
Thank you for your content! I have a new hobby of bringing in the humming birds that I have previously failed at. My pump is on the way and looking forward to the fun of putting it together and watching and waiting!
I agree, you get more tomatoes if you leave some of the suckers and I like the smaller to medium tomatoes. The bigger tomatoes take longer to make tomatoes and give you less fruit. But this year I’m trying some heirloom varieties plus my favorites that I know give us plenty. Going to can and freeze more than last year. I LOVE HOT TOMATO juice when I get a sore throat or any time really. YUMMY!
I like hot tomato juice too! I combine it with Campbell's Beef Consomme, a squeeze of lemon and some hot sauce. 🌶️ In the summer, I chill the same mixture in the freezer until it gets slushy frozen then put it in my magic bullet.🍅 So good!
I enjoy your channel very much! Staking for the birds! That's a great idea! I have birds coming in my garden, but the worms on tall wobbly plants don't get eaten so I was wondering why. I will definitely do that tomorrow!
This video has a lot of great info. Last year I did a test between 2 identical plants. 1 pruned and the other not. The one that I didn't produced a lot more fruit and seemed healthier in the end so I will not be pruning this year.
Hi Robbie, Well I found your FB page today, Yay. Can you do a video or have you completed one on indeterminate and determinant tomato plants. Silly me, I thought all tomato plants were the same. I have 9 Cherry Tomato plants and 1 beefsteak Tomato plant. Love your videos.
Could you please do a video on how to encourage your tomato plants to set fruit in large quantities? My tomato plants grow beautifully but are not setting fruit!! Horrors! 😢
Really the way I set up my totes and containers that last for the whole season, BUT I do like also making my own compost tea and I will get another one up very soon, here is one I did a while ago, thanks, ruclips.net/video/HF72eWwLjr0/видео.html
Very good! I was waiting for you to bring out a video on growing tomatoes in totes. I have 2 large tomatoes growing in a large tote with companion flowers, and your right, one of them is dominant than the other, and i was wondering if i should take out the shorter one. Thankyou for that answer. I too have a cherry tomato that the plant is very tall in its own pot. Its reaching for the sky but very little bush, I'm thinking I need to get it more into the 🌞, way to much protection where it is. So I guess I need to begin to build something to support it now. Thanks once again for the video this morning. I really appreciate it
They say one should to get the plant to grow bigger, but IF I do that I would only do it on very small young plants that are a few inches tall under 6 inches, otherwise I leave nature do it's things, Thank you 😊
Thank you for your videos. I've learned a lot. Regarding the horn worm problem, I've found that planting basil with my tomatoes is very effective as I'm told hornworms don't like the smell of basil. So far, so good. NO hornworms this year at all!

So nice of you, with gardening the more we do the more we learn and keep learning, Thank you 😊
Loves the tip about the branches!
I'm happy to be reminded to insert those twigs/branches for the birds to perch on.
You mentioned that on another video. Thank you.
Wow I love that tip about giving the birds sometimes to sit on so they can eat worms from your tomato plants! Thanks for sharing 💜
You are so very welcome, Thank you 😊
My Yorkie loves broccoli too!🥦
Happy gardening 🍅🍅🍅
Love to see Kitty!🥰

Thanks Robbie. Good wisdom. I was going to trim the suckers off my cherry tomatoes but you have changed my mind
Oh, keep in mind, it is the Cherry Tomatoes that NEED those suckers, that is where all the tomatoes grow on, you would have cut your productions way down, Glad I could help, Thanks
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy thanks Robbie. Yes I only grow the little cherry ones. They are so rewarding to grow
Love that cute puppy 🐶 that loves broccoli 😂 so sweet. Great tips as always. Thank you 😊
Thank you 😊
I love tomatoes. I want as many as possible. Home grown is so much sweeter than store bought.
It's hard enough trellising planned tomatoes. I admire you for dealing with volunteers so well. Sending love 💘
Thank you 😊
Hello Robbie and Gary! Thank you for sharing your garden experience. Beautiful!
You are SO welcome, Take care 😊

Robbie, du bist die beste ❤ wieder lerne ich was neues, heute über Tomaten 🍅 Vielen Dank!!!!
That’s a great idea to use some of the side suckers to grow another plant!!
BLESSINGS 💖
Thanks so much! Take Care 😊
Thank you for the tips about suckers.
No problem, Thank you 😊

@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Thank you, I will wait for it.
I plant a lot of the suckers from my cherry tomatoes and they mostly all take root. So easy to do. I agree.
Isn't that fun!!! Thanks for sharing, Take care 😊
Once more, I agree with you Robbie! You are so smart! 🥰
So glad I watched this!! Cleaning up the bottom of my plant today!
Thank you Robbie so much for the great information 🥰💞
No worries! Thank you 😊
Looove, love, love the method to your growing. The oreos do such a great job! 💕 Thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks Robbie, this video is so helpful... good new tips and several reminders.

Lol she loves broccoli 🤣🤣 my puppers love apples and carrots
She will eat apples too, how fun! Thank you 😊
Great tips! I love the part about inviting birds to eat the horn worms. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful to watch you tenden to your plants
Thank you so much for the information. I was wondering why my green tomatoes were falling off, I need to provide landing area for the birds.❤️❤️🙏
Thank you for the great info as always

I am with you, thanks Take Care 😊
Great tips, thanks Robbie!

I have done so many tomato videos, this one might answer your questions, ruclips.net/video/0WFcsvtWQj4/видео.html
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy That video is a a great help. I will keep growing Cheery Toms. and eat what I grow!
Love your videos! So inspiring!
Good information, thanks.
I did not know this....I'm guilty in the past but thanks to you I will not do it again...
Could you please do a video on how to encourage your tomato plants to set fruit in large quantities? My tomato plants grow beautifully but are not setting fruit!! Horrors! 😢
Do you ever need to fertilize or is the composting enough?
Really the way I set up my totes and containers that last for the whole season, BUT I do like also making my own compost tea and I will get another one up very soon, here is one I did a while ago, thanks, ruclips.net/video/HF72eWwLjr0/видео.html
Can I add a layering pot of a tomato plant in the container I have two watermelon plants?

Do you plant pumpkins ir watermelons in totes?
Robbie, I'm growing pumpkins, cantalope, and watermelons in totes this year. I'd love to see a video on how to manage them when they start to sprawl!
I might have a tomato plant? Bwuahahaha! I may make a video so everyone can see just how much help I need with my tomatoes. SOS
Are these just cherry tomatoes?
Does anyone trim flowers..Off I heard ppl should trim off flowers when tomatoes r still young.
They say one should to get the plant to grow bigger, but IF I do that I would only do it on very small young plants that are a few inches tall under 6 inches, otherwise I leave nature do it's things, Thank you 😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy o thank you. Mines r under 6 feet do u trim all the flowers below off or the top. All everything
Wow at 56 seconds in it is clearly visible a triangle shaped color object is in the sky. Thanks for the UFO too!
I don't trim the suckers. Always more tomatoes!!!
I am with you! Thank you 😊
lol waterdrop I guess
My cucumber plant is all female.😂
This is ludicrous. You don't know anything at all about growing tomatoes. Please keep to your videos on
Thank you for the great info as always
