Jeff, serious gardeners are blessed with having a garden. A place to work, a place of leisure, and a place of worship. We are a lucky lot! I know you are a serious gardener. Good for you ( and the rest of us).
Hey all! Dont forget those green tomatos can be used for frying and pickling so no waste!
I heard those fried ones are really delicious 😊
Planted in May, I just got my first ripe tomato two days ago (not counting the cherries)! Ohio Zone 6a, this is the latest ever for tomatoes. 😊
I hear you on that one.... hope it was tasty though!
I think it was on the ADAPT2030 channel I first heard the term 'growing degree days' ...sunlight AND temperature for plants is dropping...
Same; I’m up in Geauga County and I didn’t get my first ripe tomato until August 5th.
Planted or transplanted?
It’s the chemtrails .blocking the sun ,(photosynthesis) this is not hidden anymore,can be Googled bill gates and his cronies !
8:13 yes you did! 👏I needed ALL of these tips! I really appreciate you and your way of teaching, I love your recaps! You know exactly what your doing 😉, making sure we get it, in the simplest of ways! I feel like I’m growing right along with my garden💪🍅💓 cheers 🍻
Thanks so much, appreciate that!! I made it a rule that no matter popular a video could be or how many views I might get, I'd only make content on stuff I've ALREADY done many times!
My favorite is "pick more to get more." Great video!
Me too vicky!!
The ethylene insight was solid. I use that on my pineapples. I didn't think about that on my tomatoes. Thank you
Oh wow, pineapples... I didn't know that one!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I use calcium carbide crystals mixed in a water bottle and pour over mature plants.
@@jimdrake6324 nice, keep doing what's working!
Wow I love planting tomatoes thank you for sharing this video My friend
great tips! I'm working on getting my huge tomato plants to produce the best for me right now and most of the questions I had u just answered. thanks for all u do!
No problem! What varieties are you growing this season?
I can't even remember the last time I purchased tomatoes from the store. If I can't garden and grow my own, I just won't have any. Last year, I tried to make fermented green tomatoes. For the most part most part they ended up being okay to eat; but, the ones that I thought were a bit odd tasting were the ones that had barely started ripening inside. The green ones that were green inside and out were much better.
My mom used to put green tomatoes on the window sill above the kitchen sink. I will put green tomatoes in a brown paper grocery sack. If I have one, I will also put a banana in the bag, too.
100% the same Donna..... It's just my mindset now... If we can't grow it, then we just won't eat, for the most part
Planted in May and had my first harvest in the middle of July. Worth the wait. Loved your videos.
Sooooo with the wait... enjoy!
Thanks Jeff! I always appreciate your advice.
Nice of you to say, enjoy the week!
I will employ all but one of your suggestions this season. I will pass on the stress one this year as nature has been blessing my garden with ample rainfall. lol Great video and lots of good tips to get the most from my plants. Thanks Jeff!
So lucky! Send some of that rain my way!
Great video I now will do this when I have tomatoes on vine close to our frost date which is Oct thanks for sharing
They really do work, thanks for watching!
Thank you
Cheers!
Love it! Thx Jeff!
Cheers Lori, thanks for watching!
Finally I have 2 blushing Roma tomatoes, these are my first of the season here in Northern Michigan. With 80 tomato plants, I thought that I would get some before August.
Great suff as usual! 🌱🌿❤💯
Great vid..thx for sharing..I just went out and plucked off the "marble size" ..many on top, while my others are the size of tennis balls..
..n many, yep still GREEN..grrrrr..so great advise, thx🇺🇸💜🙂
And, ignore the whiney, negative comments bout vid timing..fools
Ha ha thanks for understanding!
wow i juz saw this! nice Jeff
Cheers!
Had a lot of rain in the UK the last few months... weather not been great. My tomatoes are growing ok-ish... quite a few but not ripened through lack of sun? Didn't know whether to water the plants or not when soil dry? My obvious instinct is to water them but after seeing your video I think I'll leave them. Your videos are so helpful... thank you! 👍
I wasn’t able to prune my grape tomato so they have lots of branches sprouts in different directions, so I just let it and bloom more and more tomatoes but it’s dragging them to get bigger so I don’t know what to do 🤦🏻♀️ thank you for the tips on how to speed the ripening of our tomatoes, I didn’t know that all I know was pick them when they green and place them by the window or counter 😊👍👩🌾 take care Jeff nice to hear your voice again. ♥️😊👩🌾 take care and be safe
Keep doing what's working Emy.... When is your first first date?
Really useful video, thank you! I haven't gotten one beefsteak yet and I planted in May. Feels like they've been green forever. Been getting lots of cherry tomatoes though!
I also now know what that black/brown spots are on the back of some of my tomatoes. Whoops - I guess I didn't water consistently! Would you recommend I remove the ones with blossom end rot, or let them ripen? Would they ever ripen?
Definitely a video I needed to watch as I stare at a bunch of green cherry tomatoes.
Best of luck with them chrissy! :-)
Oh I made a mistake of planting the Cherry tomato next to the Roma tomato. The Cherry tomato got so big my Roma tomato did not stood a chance and its still growing. Learned my lesson the hard way
Oh no, the vine cherry crowded out the bush Roma? Been there.... Couple of times...
I didn't know this...planted mine in pots some cherry among the romas??? Guess I might want to divide to another pot! Right now we are near drought conditions so the move might be welcome? Any insight would be appreciated!

I could almost taste that tomato :p
Oh man.... The biggie cherry tomatoes this year are bonkers, let me tell you!
I have 19 indeterminate tomato bushes now. Just harvested about 10 first ripe tomatos from them a week ago. It required a lot of work indeed! Couple of times the seedlings looked purple and were shedding leaves so I thought for sure i would lose them. I had total over 50 seedlings though. Almost all of them survived its just most of them kind of stunted but they are all in the soil now and doing good. My most favourite veggie (imean beery technically) Its so hardy even in Zone 3 we got just +10 C at night and they are so strong! Def will be groqing thwm again. Mountain magic. I will save up seeds from my plants. Basically they are indestructable...
Love that... Have to try that variety!
My tomato leaves turn purple when they get chilled.
@@normacone3124 yup, that's normal
I put them in a paper bag with a banana. When you say drought what about if they wilt? We have to water tomatoes in containers every day here in 10B or they wilt.
Use a moisture wicking container. We are in South Texas desert and they work amazing
I’m using 40% shade cloth to try and get fruit to set on tomatoes. Do you think that is too much?
The 30 to 45% ones are actually perfect
In Michigan. All my tomatoes are green!!🤯🤯
Should you cut back leaves to allow more sun to penetrate to the fruit?
Only one job now - we need to work out how to grow tomatoes all year round(even in Northern Hemisphere)
I wonder if Arkopia and his fabulous greenhouse set up that grows all year round, and has a banana tree, would be capable of such a stupendous feat.
Oh it's very possible. Especially certain varieties
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms We need a video on that!!! Im struggling to see how its possible in UK...
Maybe Arkopia has a solution! :)
I’m still waiting and wondering why I don’t have very many flowers!
Any helpful tips would be appreciated 🇨🇦
Could be excess nitrogen or too little phosphorus...
Anything I can do to counter-act excess nitrogen ?
We haven't had any drought this year but most of my paste tomatoes have blossom end rot, despite the bone meal and Tomato Tone every three weeks.
I'm experiencing blossom end rot on my 5 gallon container of Roma Tomatoes only. I'm using the same container potting soil on my other tomato plants, yet they are growing okay. Why blossom end rot?
@@lindashankle9645 I'm not giving any nitrogen this year other than what's in the compost. I think it inhibits the intake of calcium...
Have you ever tried putting banana peels under yourtomato plants?
I have not........ yet.
Tomatoes where looking sad yellowish. Feed them lime & 10 10 10 cocktail, all happy green
Awesome!
After the tomatoes are done and over with can the plants be used in the compost?
Yes, most definitely!
Thank U.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms chopped up or just whole.
@@amberpuckett5302 both work just fine. Chopped up tends to process slightly faster.
I will only pick my tomatoes at the peak of ripeness!
i put 'em in a paper bag with a slise of apple
Perfect!
Could the ethylene gas from apples help ripen tomatoes?
Yes.... Bananas too!
Step 1: the sun does it.
Hi Joe, from Springfield Missouri. I thought any company that pushes the ripening speed on any product is bad for you. When I was a truck driver, I took one load of bananas from California to this East Coast, and when I found out, they claimed that one of the workers on the dock said, they inject some kind of dye or something and each banana to keep them from ripening too fast or are my opinion is that any commercial farmer dead, or in Jack’s dies or a prolong the ripening speed of the product or is no good for you
Yup....you should see how commercial tomatoes are grown and picked and "reddened up"....its crazy.
Would it be a good idea to use bananas to ripen tomatoes while they are still on the vine? Bananas make a lot of ethylene gas.
When you I give up on letting the tomatoes ripen naturally in zone 7a
NO WORRIES,,,,if my Tom's don't ripen before a freeze,, I take them and hang them upside down in my cellar or garage and I have fresh red tomatoes in Jan and Feb !!!!
Nothing wrong with that!
Really?
@@David_does_it_all been doing it for over 30 years,,,, REALLY !!!
I don't like fried green tomatoes 🤢
