THANK YOU, this video was EXCELLENT. I've always thought I needed to remove all the suckers on my indeterminate tomatoes, but you've showed me how two tops can be an advantage for getting more fruit!

Tomatoes grow like weeds, I can never keep up with pruning them. I gave up pruning in the blazing summer heat, but I still get decent harvest 😅

Vidéo intéressante dans l'ensemble. Premièrement, il faut évitez de supprimer trop de feuillage grace à la photosynthèse, il capte la lumière du soleil et le feuillage nourrie les fruits.
En fin de saison, vous pouvez couper la tête des plants pour favoriser la maturation des dernières tomates.
N'oubliez pas de mettre un filet d'ombrage en période de canicule.

Are there any issues with letting different varieties of tomatoes grow next to each other and letting the branches/leaves intermingle with each other if the plants are healthy?

I'm thinking about topping my Tomato plants. Prune the lower Sun leaves and later on top the grow point (Suckers) Because they too will produce fruit ?? What do you think ??

Just saw your channel and just been growing tomato plants. One regular and one cherry. I have taken off some sucker but didn't know the rest of the story. Loved your content.

Great video, taking your advice James ❤
@jf3163Do the shirts also come in v necks? Ty
@kathyflynt693What do you mean by determined or undetermined tomatoes? I thought tomatoes are just tomato plants 🪴
@LivingbyfaithwithSharonKayeWell done video. Great explanation about tomatoes and the pruning process
@handymanagNice work
@Gs-dr6zgPRAISE YAH
@psikozplanNo such thing - "less tops, less suckers, less leaves" ... but, fewer tops, fewer suckers, fewer suckers:"
@geneevans2600Dude great info. Ty
@2891michaelkI had a friend that let all his Tomatoes run on the ground , he didn't mess with anything and got gobs & gobs
of the best tasting tomatoes that you ever had , no pruning ,no tying up , no nothing ,just water .. year after year.
He was selling them on the side of the road ..
when growing tomatoe plants vertically, how deep does the plant need to be rooted?
@marlenna45Does my vegetables in my garden need protein from like egg shells or any other type of homemade remedy I also heard that honey brown sugar and water we can put that on our on our vegetable garden and make it healthier
@alicecov2006Advice needed
Looks like I've over watered my plants, and yep the heat hit & they're wilting.
My question is, since all my fruits are close to the bottom & I don't currently have any blossoms anywhere on the plants, can I cut about half of the plant down, just above a sucker I let go intentionally, and have the plant survive? Essentially, I want to know if this maturing sucker can become a new main stem if I cut the existing main stem it's branching off of and not end up killing the plant.
Wow! No AI. Thanks for the information. I always remove suckers but I will try leaving a few this year.
@603BobSAre you growing garlic in between the tomato?
@jimsymborski9081You talk too much
@abbasshirafkan3935Just as a note to any begginers as me making fertilizer from stinging nettle is amazing! Makes tomatos shoot up. Just grab some nettle and cover it in water 1/10 and mix daily for two weeks(its gonna stink a lot) after that dilute into container 1/10 and water with it every couple days. Its really worth it!
@DeathLine971at 14:50 you're working on th plant and there are 2 plastic rings around stem, is that for the string feed ?
Have a swiss chard question for you lmk when you're ready?

@billyriker2966I watched this video and then pruned my plants... I wish i didn't!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR_rZQHNnio
@billyriker2966watching from kenya
@OlgaOukoYou have to teach the tomato plant a lesson by shredding any branch with no fruit. All of a sudden it will have an attitude change and put fruit on every branch
@AllHandlesHaveBeenTakenAs soon as someone says “what’s goin’ on”….. I’m GONE!!!
