Pupuk organik sangat baik ramah terhadap lingkungan tidak menimbulkan pencemaran
Mine do seem stuck... Maybe the german coast isn't too ideal for them, but I tried to keep them as "tropical" as possible. Still hoping for at least a few bells to get seed from and do better next year.
Another fantastic video Lucas!!! I love cherries, I don’t like cherry tomatoes.
“Life is all about choices, we make thousands of them every day”. Beautiful words Lucas! I choose not to eat tomatoes. ❤
Hello. How are you? Does the Pumpkin (orange ball) plant continue after summer? If not, how would I keep it continue for time after summer? Thank you!
Bury a fish between rows about 4m apart. By the time the plant needs the PK & calcium...it is there. Organic af too!!
3 years later ........ great video
can you help me figure out why my tomatoes are catfacing?? please
Probably the variety and inconsistent watering practices.
hello, nice video. about direct sun is safe? in age ?
Great in your learning.
Lucas you only promoting money for yourself
I’ve got a reaper plant and it won’t fruit? Would you happen to know any reason why?
I don’t get it. Do you really need to do all that just to make a video dancing around eating a tomato grow the fuck up
The squirrels have virtually eaten my entire tomato 35+ garden. I kid you not, I harvested under 8 tomatoes. 😭 I gave them water early in the season and on hot days, which helped keep them away. But once they san marzanos ripened it was over. I'm really showing my Southern roots here, but I swear I just want 🔫 down the little b******s!
That's so sweet and genuine. If you summarize it for your dating profile, you'd have to fight the ladies off with a bat. 😂
Lol who said I was single 😂
@@lucasgrowsbestyt Touchè 👏🏿
@@tiffany7023 Hehehe
We are taught to push through in bad situations even if we are miserable … I stopped doing this just recently when my dad died very quickly from brain cancer and I feel like a kid again !
The desperation in the squirrel repellent strats.. so funny. I'm growing cherries for the first time this season. Also, why do we look so alike? lol
This video is amazing!! It’s very informative too.
NEVER USE " PERLITE " IN VEGETABLES/FRUITS GROWING PROFESSIONAL MISTAKE N1 PERLITE LEADS TO : SLOW GROWTH BAD TASTE ROOT DESEAS ROOT ROTT STEM ROTT AND TOO HIGH HUMIDITY WHICH BASICLY DROWNS PLANTS DONT LISTEN TO THAT , THATS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT
this is my favourite lucasgrowsbest vid. it feels like i’m watching a tv show
very entertaining video lucas! 2:42
I am plagued by August on the leaves. I have run out of ideas! Help!
Your channel is literally the best
Chocolate Sprinkles is one of my favorite cherry tomatoes. They are beautiful, very prolific and taste great. I grow them every year and it’s rare that any of them make it into the house. My kids always strip the vine clean.
I’ll have to try that variety. Bwahahahaha that’s great the the kids enjoy them though! Healthy stuff.
This year I'm growing Goldkrone cherry tomatoes. Sweet with rich tomato flavour. Prolific and holds really well in hot weather. I'm very pleasantly surprised.
I have a lot of squirrels around the yard and they get into everything. The worst is they tear down my sunflower plants and even shred my weed plants (if seeded). They just dont seem to be a problem with my tomatoes so I'm very surprised you have problems with them. I'm 30 minutes east of you so same varieties of squirrel. I might see one or two exploratory bites from something but I havent seen them running away with fruit, yet. I saw a mouse in the tomato patch, some other critter liek maybe a groundhog yesterday. Birds maybe seem to be poking holes in some tomatoes and it seems just a couple varieties like berkley tie die and prairie fire, which is weird.I also now have a rabbit that is somewhat socialized to me, hangin round my tomato patch but he appears to be interested in the weeds only and naps under the tomato canopy. So yea I have something poking some small holes into tomatoes and the squirrels dont appear to be an issue.
Yeah they’re sunflower killers for sure, I’ve personally experienced this. And yeah I’ve caught them fleeing the tomatoes with fruit before.
A good contrast to choco cherry is Sunrise Bumblebee. It has the very sweet tangy flavour that non-black tomatoes have, amazing yellow with red stripes beauty, large size like the choco and good production and plant habit. I grow both of these, they are both available through mckenzie seeds so easy for canadians at least to source (canadian tire, wal-mart, etc.) though they might not both be available online, you can get them in store displays. Together they are both excelent flavour but very different contrasting flavour and colour. It hasnt been a problem with cracking or anything. I'm currently looking into contrasting shapes like pear and the tubular icicle shape tomatoes. I cant recommend any yet cuz its my first season growing some prairie fire and choco pear allong with some green doctors. I have never tried a sungold.
Black strawberry tomato is pretty good, and it's very pretty
Mochi for the interesting consistency and sweetness and very shiny. Described as biting into a gum drop. Thin skin- Does not store well. Third year growing. These and sungolds are my go to cherry varieties along with Galina's Yellow as they are the first to produce and last to produce, prolific, and cold hardy (but rather bland)
Garden is looking great!!!
We have had trouble with squirrels in past years, but this year they have not bothered my tomatoes for some reason. Perhaps it is because we've had a rainy year. I grew black cherry last year and enjoyed it. My favorites (so far) are Sungold and Sun Orange. I should try Chocolate Cherry because I love dark tomatoes! I want to try Rosella Cherry, too.
Hi Lucas, great video - your garden is lush and healthy. I have grown both types of cherries and chocolate cherry is delicious! My tomatoes are a buffet for rabbits and squirrels; will try your deterrents, your Mom is awesome 🦉! I have sweet 100's, and beefsteak. Would like to try Sungold next year. A favorite is yellow Sunrise Bumble Bee, and there's a purple Sunrise Bumble Bee (def trying next year). "The garden is my canvas, and I paint it with plants." Artists indeed 🌻🐝🍅🌞
Thanks Tricia!! Sunrise Bumblebee is awesome, I’ve grown it before. Cheers! :)
Sorry to hear about the squirrels. Another thing that might work is adding tulle around your plants. I've seen people even build a fence out of it. Thanks for the recommendation about the Chocolate cherry. Black cherry is my favorite but haven't tried that one. :)
Chocolate Cherry is one of my favorites!
The Christmas ornaments is a good idea. I have bird feeders and squirrels near my garden. The Squirrels usually go for the bird seed and leave my garden alone. If you put out birdseed though, you're just attracting more.
Have any extra seeds you would sell??
When I started to understand the microbes in the soil I now never need to fertilize but still can if I want too but I like the fact I save more money now.
You’re ruining your knives edge cutting on glass. Use a wood or plastic cutting board…
Nice video - I'm growing beefsteaks for the first time. But, btw, Miracle Gro is owned by Monsanto. Look then up on Wikipedia and you'll see some of their convictions and nasty practices against millions of the poorest farmers in the world.
Great video! Thanks
Because of all the hype, I grew Sungold this year and even though the taste was okay the splitting really turned me off. I won’t be growing them again. I’ll stay with the super sweet 100!
I agree they have thin skins and are notorious for splits. Try Sun Sugar, I’ve heard it is similar with crack resistance.
What lamp setup did you have for seedlings at the start of video ? It fit everything perfectly.
Floralight fluorescent grow light from Lee Valley. They aren’t being sold anymore but there are many new options on the market!
Words to live by - thank you Lucas for reminding us of the beauty of our gardens, family, friends and home. Happy 24th bday - all the best to our awesome gardener and teacher! 🥳🌻🐝🌞☔
Thanks Tricia!!! :)
what are the white speckles on the leaves? Mine has it too. Indoor grower here
In my case it is flea beetle damage.
I was about to kill myself then saw this and postponed death by a month
Thanks
Gotta tell ya that was a great video
Thanks Norma, much appreciated!!
So exciting! How many hours of light did you give the lettuce please?
Thanks! 12 hrs/day
Subscribed after the seedling tantrum edit 🤣 great video! My seedlings have outgrown their tray cover and almost have their second set of leaves. Glad I found this video for my next steps 😊
Came for the tomatoes. 🍅 Stayed for the wisdom. ✨
