I’ve been gardening here in Tecumseh as long as u’ve been there😃 oh yes a redesign on the rainbow beds sounds lovely. I’m growing around 30 peppers & maybe 25 tomatoes. Enjoy watching u get better all the time. Your tenacity in learning something that u really hav a hard time sometimes is refreshing…. An having a garden 🎊 ❤🎉😁
🥰 thank you, I'm so glad you are here
Thank you for the video😊
You're welcome 😊
Hello Dom, as always this was a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that is alot of plants! Good thing you have some friends helping you! I have maybe 3 varieties of each vegetablee I'm growing and it gets me worn out after planting about 12 plants at a time! I live in Georgia which is a similar climate to yours and last year tomato horn worms got all over my tomato plants and ate a bunch of the leaves and stems so I put 7 dust on them and that got rid of them for the rest of the summer and fall. I also put slug bait granules out when I see slugs or holes that look like they'e been eating seedling leaves close to the round. This year I also use Surround kaolin clay. It saved my peaches and tomatillos from being decimated by bugs!
Yeah, Georgia, it is a similar climate to here!!
You Guys Doing Amazing Work In The Garden 💟💟💟
A quick list from memory I think I have 15 varieties of tomatoes, which is a lot for a first timer and I may have more. Yours look great, i’m in 6b so i’m just starting to see some growth.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing
Yes! Move those colorful beds exactly where you want them❤
😆😆
Tomatoes need lots of air circulating around the plants.. The further apart you space your plants, the better off they will be.. You don't want leaves touching leaves or vines touching vines or even leaves touching vines really.. Moisture gets trapped anywhere green matter touches.. The plants need to be able to breath.. You do need leaves to shade the fruits from the sun though, and to make energy to grow the fruit.. Only prune back your suckers and diseased leaves.. I used to grow my tomatoes on cattle panels just like you do.. You cant really spread them out properly on a cattle panel to get enough air circulation.. So a few years ago I ran an 8 foot tall pipe clear across my garden.. Then dropped twine down from the pipe to clip my tomato plants to.. It's a little more work but it's worth it.. I have totally control of the positioning of each vine.. I can spread them out as far apart as I need to.. I've found that 3 feet between indeterminate plants is about perfect.. I only plant 17 plants total in a 50 foot row.. Sometimes less equals more.. If you over crowd your plants and they all die early you wont get as many tomatoes as you would from fewer plants that lived for the entire season..
I'm glad you found what works for you, that's great! Thanks for sharing
This was a very informative video! Thank you!!! ❤ Can you let me know why your tomatoes are pruned so aggressively?…barely any leaves. You may know a trick I don’t 😅
Haha, cause it's so humid here... for me, it's to fight diseases. Plus, I've heard farmers say it's OK to prune up until the first set of fruit, haha, but im just trying it... so far so good

DOM!!! Ty for answering my question ❤. I was curious because seeing so many varieties made me wonder why I only stick with a few types of green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, etc. I think I need to branch out more. I loved seeing the purple cayenne’s in your other video, too.
Any time! Hope it made sense haha I can blabber
@@faithfamilyhomestead I totally understood, and I love that you take the time to slowly explain things, instead of just trying to rush through a video!!!!
@@itslowtide4690 I'm so glad!!
I am the SAME way with raw tomatoes. I grow a ton as well. Not as many as you. But, I love salsa and cooked tomatoes in sauces, ketchup, rotel, BBQ. I have started getting a taste for a few raw. I really like the black cherry tomatoes.
Yessss I love all tomato products!!! 🍅 😍
❤Hey, Dom!!!❤I'm in Greenville South Carolina❤Same zone as yours❤How close are you from my?❤I'd love to come tour your garden and bring my grand babies along❤They've helped me out so much this year since I've been in unfavorable health❤AWESOME garden and video❤
Send me an email
You are very naturally beautiful. Perfect skin!
Oh thank you!
How do you prevent your tomatoes from getting sun scald after cutting off all the leaves?
I don't prevent it... I think the direction of the sun helps them from not getting sun scald
💙👍🏽
Hey Dom. I was looking at plant clips on Amazon because I kind of like your clips. I look to see if you had an affiliate link but do not see one. If you put one up, I’ll use it. Also, would appreciate your thoughts on how fast you use them and how many a tiny backyard should use to start ❤

This is what I bought last time because I used my 100 pack. I've clipped each plant probably 3 times each already. If you need a smaller pack, let me know. This just seemed best for the money
@@faithfamilyhomestead Thank you!!! Just ordered 🫶🏼
So hanging the tomato's up off the ground, will that help with the bug situation?
It won't help with tomato horn worms because they crawl all over the vines, but it does help keep the tomatoes from other bugs and helps with airflow
I’m so glad that you are taking the time to discover what you like and what grows best in your zone.
I just got my order in the mail from MIgardener and I got the Painted Pony bush beans 🫘 You sold me on them, will plant them tomorrow 🪴
Let me know how you like them
Hi Dom, can you tell me why you cut the leaves of your tomatoes plaints?
For airflow, they were also diseased
What month did you plant your tomatoes?
In the Hoophouse mid-March outside, maybe the end of March for some all the way into April for the rest
You are over pruning your tomatoes.
This pruning was from over 2 weeks ago, and they are doing great! Thanks
