I'm really loving this channel. I'm farming again for the first time in a decade and all these little bits of info are really helpful for me in real time.
That pricing is dead on brotha. Here in kansas city they are going for $4.87 lb for organic slice and $6.50ish for heirloom cherry and slicers. Awesome point and excellent grafting techniques. Your channel rocks!
Really enjoying your unique videos. Not many market gardeners on RUclips providing the details you provide. Keep it up. Greetings from a prospective market gardener in Ireland.
This is my favorite new channel this year. I appreciate all your hard work. Not sure if you mentioned it in the video, but what root stock are you using for the different tomato graftings? I'd be especially interested to know what you're using with the Sakuras.
Tomatoes are a cornerstone to a market garden 100% true. I grew a bunch of roma/san marzono, orange being my favorite, but the customer wants the slicer
You mentioned Neversink more than a few times in this video; would you consider using their hook and wicket system for your lower and lean style of growing tomatoes?
Check out Johnnys Defiant and Mountain magic tomatoes. I'm just a backyard gardener and I've been getting non stop huge harvests every day since early July from just 10 plants I've been giving them to all my neighbors and they're saying they've never tasted tomatoes so good. Right now there's literally hundreds of ripening tomatoes on the plants. Defiant is a mid sized slicer and mountain magic is a salad tomato larger than a cherry tomato.
They may be an heirloom crossed with ahybrid which meansthey are a hybrid, not an heirloom no matter how you look at it. Doesnt mean they arent good tomatoes justthat they arent even a pretend heirloom.

I can't remember exactly but something like dtx190 or something from Johnnies.
@@farmtablewest5991 Thank you! I'll take a look.

Yep exactly. The bland red slicer sells 2 to 1 compared to the others.
Good logic.
Thanks.

Yes. I will probably do that next year but It's really expensive and I have higher priority things to invest in right now.

Yea I've heard of those. Greenhouse growing needs a lot more specialized varieties for our production.
what are you feeding your tomatoes?
Organic?
Neversink farm blend seven springs farm supply. Switching to alfalfa meal next year because shipping makes that really expensive.
rebelski is a killer beefsteak too just farmer to farmer
Do you not struggle with sun scald with single stem/heavy pruning?
Not if you prune bottom leaves slowly so the fruit is shaded.
Are you using a Germination chamber for the healing process on your grafted tomatoes?
Yes. Diy.
They may be an heirloom crossed with ahybrid which meansthey are a hybrid, not an heirloom no matter how you look at it. Doesnt mean they arent good tomatoes justthat they arent even a pretend heirloom.
Yes I know but it's the easiest way to differentiate at the market.
