Leaning and Lowering Tomatoes, Flooding and Gourds for Fall

  • The hydroponic tomatoes were ready to be leaned and lowered. There's a couple steps to doing this - first harvest, prune lower leaves, remove suckers, support clusters, prune clusters and finally lean and lower. We usually have to do this once a week. After I was done in the main greenhouse, I went out to the high tunnel to start some gourd seeds. We think this will be something fun to take to the farm market this fall. Back home, I got the electric fence around the garden up because I have dogs that like to go in there and dig up my plants! Hope you all are doing well out there. -Devon

    I watched a different video where a tomato grower lowered the plant as they picked but didn't lean them she circled the vine around like a coil of a snake.
    I was thinkingvyou could do that but then I remembered there are 2 plants per box. I'm not sure if you could circle one and not the other.
    But seeing those lovely red tomatoes 😋 made my tummy rumble.

      The weather can always be crazy. We were in a bit of a drought, but now we are in a surplus. Hopefully a little comes your way soon. The fields finally dried out enough yesterday for all of our farmer neighbors to go back out to plant. My fence charger is a Patriot from Rural King. I'm honestly surprised it's still going, but it does a good job. Hope you have a fun weekend planting tomatoes!

    Your videos are always calming! And Thanks for sharing your amazing smile!
    I'm making a small greenhouse 14ft x 20ft out of some cedar trees that I had on the property.
    My main focus is Tomatoes #1, and then #2 Green Peppers, along with some hot peppers.
    I finally got a good amount of green peppers to sprout, but getting them to the next level, was a challenge. I transplanted them in potting soil while they were only about 2 1/2" tall, because they weren't looking very happy, with the leaves starting to yellow, but they are greening up now.
    But do green peppers always take a long time from seed to start to produce?

    • @HomegrownPassion
      @HomegrownPassion  Před 3 lety +1
