tried to review the tomato self watering planter but the link is not working. it is a great product the cherry tomato is grow fine in R.I. MOM loves it. at 82 years old. I Need to get a pet friend.

Me and Tuck are glad to hear that. We will get that resolves ASAP! ❤️

James and King Tuck, we ordered the vertical growing string and clips. But that's for next year. I still have almost 200 jars of tomatoes canned from last year! 🥰♥️💓💝💞😘💕 For the Young King.

Omg one of those looked like an octopus!!!❤

[@roccoconte2960]

Good video ,I'm an old timer growing tomatoes for over 60 years , I tie mine to metal rods I drove in the ground 30 years ago .

[@poodledaddles1091]

You were ahead of your time!

[@Kathleen253]

Yes, in 1968 was the first time I grew my own tomatoes, I had no clips only twine and some bamboo stakes. I credit my success to growing my Sweet 100s on a south facing side of my white garage. I had tomatoes all summer well into October. All done in Western Washington. Pretty good for an 18 yr old beginner.

[@BigboiiTone]

I am pretty new to gardening. You can tell this is a good channel if it's acceptable to experienced gardeners as well as beginners

[@lorib5323]

@@BigboiiTone it IS!! James has changed up how he grows every single one of his plants several times trying to find what works best for him. WE then get to see them all :)

[@BigboiiTone]

@@lorib5323 Totally agree. I live in an area with long winters and short amounts of sunlight. We really don't have time for experiments to fail and start all over again. We have to have things planted and in the seedling stage at minimum. Without James P and one other gardening channel, I would be having a much harder time. James has saved us a ton of disappointment and wasted seed/supplies!

[@kcashut]

“Let’s Go!” Ok, I can stay awake a few more minutes to watch one of my fav CZcamsrs.

[@Crystal13Magic]

I like that you planted garlic between your tomatoes. Garlic can help repel spider mites and other pests that commonly affect tomato plants.

GENERAL TUCK IS A HANDSOME BOY... GREAT VIDEO!

[@AirzGamingTTV]

James - you have the best channel on youtube! I can't tell you how much I love your gardening designs- I've made your above ground planters for my yard and could not be happier. I can't wait to try your tomato rigs. Thank you for posting- from Columbus

[@cynthiacisneros1694]

Agreed❣️

[@arizona-explorer]

Cattle panel trellis also solves the tomato management and allows you to pick the tomatoes at a lower height.

[@tanarehbein7768]

I agree. And to save on gardening expenses, and for time saving simplicity, I just weave the tomato vines back and forth through the cattle panel trellis for support. Believe me this technique has been well tested in the wind and rain and crazy storms at my house. Sometimes I will use Grower's Edge Garden Plant Ties. It's reusable spongy plastic coated wire. It's cushioned twist ties for your plants.

[@Blissfulspaces]

Great technique! Vertical growing tomatoes saves space and improves air circulation, leading to healthier plants and easier harvesting. Happy Gardening.

[@arleneamable3916]

I have been soo busy that I haven't watched your videos for a long time. the first thing i did was to look for Tuck🧡

[@irenelitvak5576]

James, I admire your dedication to the garden. Learn from you a lot. The question is, what are you doing with all the crops.?

[@krielkip]

A couple of years ago I found these 'corkscrew'-tomato-stakes in Germany, and I would never want to do it any way else anymore. Not sure if they are sold in the US but they are the best! They are about 8ft long, the first part is 2ft straight, you drive that into the ground, than come the 'corkscrew' part. Very very easy to lead the tomato around the stake, it holds great also when it's very windy. No ropes, mayby two regular clips for the first part of the grow. RVS so really sustainable. The plants can move up and down without anything ever getting stuck or to tight. I love them! Edit: these stakes also work great with bigger sunflowers. After season, if you manage to turn and twist the sunflowerstem in one piece free from the stake the stem itsself has a corkscrewshape. If you dry these stems you can use them next season as corkscrewstakes for the tomatoes, they last only one season but work very well!

[@jvjdrn]

9:10 I’m so glad to hear that Tuck is not a fan of tomatoes because they can cause pancreatitis in dogs. I learned this when my Boxer got into my tomato plants.

[@venusgarden959]

Very nice❤❤

[@debj3636]

FYI the red tomato clips last longer than the clear. When I first started using them many years ago, they were all red. The clear ones came out and they were a lot cheaper so I bought them but they were failing before the old red ones were and they were several years older and had been out in the sun longer. The red ones are a lot harder to find these days but for some reason the sun doesn’t make them crack as fast as the clear ones. Love ya Tuck ❤❤❤❤❤!!!

[@shawnlandreth2779]

I grow mine just like you do because you taught me in a different video. We love this way

[@joshualloyd4275]

Set up 4 trellises just like this this year James! Excited to stop climbing ladders to tie tomatoes up minutes before a thunderstorm comes through 😅

[@diannebartkus9893]

Yep! Tucks a Cutiepie!❤❤❤❤

[@MikeR65]

James watching you grow tomatoes last year it encouraged me to try all new varieties this year. I can’t wait to try all of your great advice. And love seeing the boss! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ for Tuck!!

[@TheKarver79]

Once I saw you showcase these rollers last year I went online and bought them. I have now changed my cucumber beds to utilize them as well. I love them, and I noticed this year they have gone up in price. They are getting popular and the companies are cashing in.

[@jackjohnson291]

I stake and don’t do single stem. I usually grow 2, 150 yard rows worth and just keep it simple, in addition to some heirlooms, Cherry, Grape, and Romas. I always have WAY more tomatoes than I can ever eat and can, so the neighbors, friends, and family get all they want. 😅
I’m liking those clips! I’ll have to give those a try this year.

[@christianhansen3292]

send them to me!

[@tonydittmer]

Love the videos James, and love the passion and energy.

[@locustsun]

I might stick with something that lasts for one season (functionally and materially) that isn't the plastic clips, it seems like that's introducing more plastic into the environment.

[@GASNICABRUNATNA]

Great tip with the staking/anchoring.

in the UK, we trim out the top of the tomato plat after 5 or 6 trusses of fruit, but this is due to the short growing season in the UK

ThanksJames its a pleasure to follow you .Your garden is always neat and you have some great techniques that are well explained.

I love tomato clips. The first ones I bought were clear plastic and they didn’t last long but I found some in a terra cotta color that are uv resistant and still look great going into their third season.

[@beckymartinez9926]

I love the clips too. I was shocked how much easier it is than twisting it up the twine.
