@THERUSTEDGARDEN
I started following your videos 4 years ago. You're my first choice on how to grow the strongest , healthiest tomato plants. Since I'm 77 and handicapped I grow tomatoes on my back deck in 3 gal. grow bags. Last summer I had 49 indeterminate plants that produced well over 100 lbs of tomatoes. Thank you for teaching me how to grow tomatoes that taste like I ate as a kid. I don't care if your videos are 2 hours long they're pure gold and I'll watch every minute. Thanks again
Thank you Gary for providing such detailed content. This is the best explanation of "suckers" I have seen. I wasn't certain on how to identify. This so helpful. Thank you for continually providing good content.
Hi Gary! I am so glad you did this video today! I had a couple of tomato questions this morning and hadn't gotten around to doing any research, but then here you are, of course, with all the answers! Hooray for Gary P!
Excellent!
Let the suckers grow!😂 I'm realizing I need cattle panel rods in my life because the tomatoes need training 🍅
Let a lot grow for sure.

Single stem has ruined so many plants, for me. Leaves me with anemic plants and scarred, burnt tomatoes! Not all of us have 42 tomato plants like most of these channels, which is why I prefer how Gary does it.
Such a great video - thanks for the real-life hand's-on tutorial. I start with stricter pruning techniques early in the season, but by the end of July into August - I also turn into a chaos pruner. 😂
Thank you so much for this video!!! I learned so much that I seriously needed!
If nothing else, top a sucker so it won't keep growing nut it still shades your fruit. I've had too many scarred snd blistered tomatoes because of the avowed "single stem pruning is crazy good!" tutorials. Shade is needed. You're my go-to source for gardening, helping me know what to do and why and keep costs low. Looking forward to a cucumber pruning video on this scale and any means of supporting heavy, many-branching bell peppers.
I resoundingly support your encouragement to spend a little more for quality support equipment! I once saw a guy in a hardware store looking confused and holding a half dozen of the BIG ring tomato cages. I stopped him. Told him they are worthless and the rings will start snapping off before the season is done. I redirected him to the large square tomato towers with heavy, coated metal. He was surprised but grateful. I swear, the cheap and tawdry supplies and soil are the #1 reason people give up on gardening. Set up for failure.
Perfect tip. A nice for helping that guy out.

It was especially helpful when you went up the stem and took off the suckers. You showed very clearly what every part of the plant is. That's where I was confused this morning.
Very glad to help.

Thank you for insightful video! We grow tomatoes in our greenhouse, and the indeterminate tomato plants get unwieldy! This will help me prune properly!
Thank you so much for this. Just in time for tomato staking! I have to tell you I have not been able to grow squash for years because of squash bugs. I tried using a good rinse with water at the base this morning and wouldn't you know the squash bugs jumped up to the leaves. Just like you said they would. I killed 8 of them! I hope this saves them. I had no idea they were in there. Much appreciation Gary!
It really helps and just replant squash several times over the summer.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Yes, I just watched your video on squash and zucchini. Appreciate!
My indeterminent tomato plants are monsters! They are producing a lot of fruit, and are still going. I've already started harvesting tomatoes. Next year, I am going to stick to determinents. My Grand Marsahall are loaded with tomatoes and all of them a good size. I am also growing Ace-55. They have just started flowering andf setting fruit. Next year, I want to try Jolene and Skyway tomato varieties. I just added chickens to my garden, five hens, three Rhode Island Red, and two Speckled Sussex.
Very nice!
Thank you so much for this video! Love this so much. Such a helpful instructive videos!
Chaos pruning! Love it 😄 I only get more aggressive with sucker pruning when the plants are outgrowing their trellis and getting too top-heavy.
Yep. Pretty much that is what I do later July.

Thank you for sharing your expertise! I really learn a lot. I use the sturdier cages and turn one upside down on top of the one in the ground and secure the top rings together with zip ties to extend the height of the cage. I then zip tie the top “legs” together, or wrap with jute.❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Nice tip. I have done that.

Exactly what I needed.
A nice long video just about pruning tomatoes .
Showing us one by one step by step,
And telling me over & over & over again .
Until I finally got it.
Now I understand what to do .
I even passed your test 😊
You taught me something new while trimming each plant.
What an amazing teacher you are
Thank you.
I must of missed you saying anything about this.
I only have 4' Bamboo steaks.
What do I do once they reach 4'.
If I cut the tops off the main stem , will that stop it growing upwards ?
Thanks again Gary for another fantastic video.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers on passing the test and I use timestamps so people can get more or less as they need it.

Great informative video Gary. Have you seen where a main stem splits in two? I have one but it's not a sucker.
I have seen it. Sometimes it look flattened to. I am actually not sure what causes it.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you. Yes that's how it appears to me, flattened. I like to keep the tomatoes as one stem like you mentioned to manage the size, but I will add another support and keep both and just trim any suckers from the section that split off.
Good job
Thanks

You can not trim at all, I don't, and I harvest more than I can use every year. Most garden "rules" are just someone's preference and can be broken with great success.
I lean more towards more aggressive pruning techniques. Just makes dealing with the plant so much easier. You can make up some of the production losses by planting more plants closer together. There’s no right or wrong way though. Everyone has different growing conditions and needs in their garden. Great tutorial for those that are new to this.
The other thing I do which I'll be doing a video on later is toping a sucker after it has 1 or 2 flower clusters. The perfect medium between leaving and totally removing.

Everyday I go out to the garden there seems to be a sucker to prune! I need to use the hydrogen peroxide mix. Rain all day today and more tomorrow. I plan on keeping on top of fungus this year. Thank you for all the knowledge Gary!

Thought you would have done a video this week about how to deal with this heat dome. I’ve been watering early more than usual (and have a layer of straw) but are you doing anything special beyond that?
Question-on the cherry tomato portion of the video, when the fruit is picked off the vine, can you just cut off that stem since you are keeping the sucker?
I single stem however I will let two or three suckers grow until they set flowers then I'll remove the growth tip so it won't grow any longer.
Perfect. I'll be doing a video on just that.

That was a nice, thorough tomato pruning video. I wish I'd seen this last spring/summer when I was trying to make sense of what I was hearing about pruning. I came to my own conclusion that removing a lot of suckers would quite significantly reduced production so I do the chaos method for size and airflow management primarily. I use heavy gauge square tomato cages and then zip tie on additional vertical metal supports as the plants get taller. Seems to work fine. Question: I know that there are a number of reasons for blossom drop, but someone said it could be caused by having too many tomatoes already on the plant at one time? Is that's true, I should remove more suckers than I do if so. The current excessive hot temperatures and humidity are playing at least a part in blossom drop now, however. I just jerry-rigged a shade cloth set up from burlap to help the situation. Anyway, thanks in advance for an answer!
Chaos is best. I prune early to manage size for disease but as the season goes, I let the sucker turn to production as the season progresses. Blossom drop 9/10 times is do to high heat. They drop when conditions are not favorable for steady even growth. Excess tomatoes might look like the issue because when heat comes, the plants usually have lots of tomatoes. But if the temps stay in the 80's and you water, they can handle all the tomatoes they make.

Love your videos. Quick question do you find the backing soda/peroxide fungicide works as well as the copper fungicide?
I think copper works better than baking soda. H202 is great as a cleaner of the leaf.

Saw a Walmart yesterday they have $17.98 tomato plants 🪴. Even at $2 a pound for tomatoes, it’d have to make 9lbs to make it remotely worth buying. With the squirrels, deer, bugs, fungus, and lack of gardening skills, I can’t imagine getting 9lbs off every tomato plant I grow. I’ll stick to my $2 packets of seeds, thank you very much!
Yep. Seeds are perfect.

Hi......I grow in bags, bins and containers. Will u have a video or have u had a video about reusing the soil from yr to yr? I'm fairly new to growing veggies and in ground planting is not an option.
I'm sure u know better than me on how to take care of the soil....even in containers.
So far this yr, I'm pretty proud of how well things r growing but I'm always researching. This yr I didn't remove all the sucker, I kept some and anyway now the lower leaves will all be trimmed back..... I am now because I'm sure I'm going to have a ton of tomatoes..
So far so good......thank u ❤🇨🇦
I think u grow Swiss Chard as well.....I could use some specific help with those
I have them if you look up refreshing container soil. Or just container soil. Containers key is watering more often than you think and water-soluble fertilizing.

Yes, watering them often is something I learned last yr. And since it's been so hot here, I water them twice a day.

My sungolds always seem to split off into two main stems in a perfect Y-fork and I'm always too afraid to cut one side and basically dead-head the plant.
Sungolds are good to let a lot of stems go. Good luck.

Gary, what do you use for antifungal? Is H2O2 used to treat fungus or is it just a preventive spray.
Spray tomatoes with hydrogen peroxide
1. 4 ounces of H202 in 1 gallon of water for maintenance spraying
2. 6-8 ounces of H202 in 1 gallon of water for managing outbreaks.
I’m pretty sure I took these notes from his blog.
Thank you!
h202 cleans the leaves. I use that mostly nowadays. But it doesnt stay on to prevent fungus from showing up and establishing. So an antifungal that sits can help. However, regular use of h202 really manages my tomato garden. It requires more frequent spraying of h202.
Thanks. That is why I write stuff down. I always have to go back. Lol
