Please make this a series. How to grow different kinds of fruits and veggies
Yes! I agree
Yes!
YES!!!!!!!
Klaas Kingma yes pleeeeease!
That’s the real “ garden answer” Chanel. Give us all the answers!!!!! 😂
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm so glad I found this channel!!! Every video has so much information.
Amen
JoAnna, I was just thinking the same thing this morning while out planting. Laura’s CZcams videos are all well worth the time to watch. Packed with a wide array of resources, information, and inspiration.
I second this!
@@pamsmedley3589 agreed!
before the nice Feldco people came along, people would pinch back tomatoes and other plants with thumb and fingers. this would produce a green stain, resulting in the expression that good farmers had "green thumbs".
Now we know where that expression comes from thankyou!
Nelda Hargo so that’s where that came from! 😊
When I was in England, people would say “green fingers” and look at me curiously when I would say “green thumbs”. Now I know why we, Americans, say green thumbs.
@@truebluedaphne9411 In France we say ''having the green hand''! funny to see every country having its own version of the same expression
@@lucilep.6175 I love having the green thumbs, fingers or hand. Now all I need is the Midas touch!
Great info... Love the container tomato / basil combo. When I’m out in the garden, I like to grab a cherry tomato, a little basil leaf, and wrap it around the tomato. Tasty little gardener treat. 💁🏼♀️ 🇺🇸
I don’t know how you keep a straight face while filming with Russell stealing the show!!! 😂🐱
I live in a one room apartment in Sweden. I only have windows on the north side and I´m growing my first tomato plant in my kitchen window. I only use natural light and yesterday I saw that I´m having my first tomato ❤️ I´m super happy about this because most people told me that it was impossible because tomatoes need a lot of sunlight. I also have some herbs in the same window.
Dixi Wonderland I think you will need to do the job of a bee and read up how to pollinate the flowers to get more fruit. Good luck to you!
That’s awesome! How long did it take from when you planted the seed to your first tomato?
Good for you for trying instead of 'listening' to everyone. That is a sign of a true gardener! Best of luck!
@@nhunter6506 I have only been shaking the plant and it worked :)
@@ksero1000 I never planted a seed. I bought it when it was about 20 cm :)
This was honestly the absolute most informative video I’ve ever watched on tomato starting. Thank you so much… I am looking forward to more tomato videos ...as we grow lol
One day can we please have a Russell and cheddar blooper video I do love your cats and am always looking out for them every video.
It just makes my day when Russell steals the show. I may try tomatoes this year. As I have said I retired to the beach and not much yard but I can do containers. We have deer, rabbits, squirrels and many representatives from nature so I have to protect my plants. Hope to have two or three varieties this year, thanks for the video. As usual step by step instructions are an inspiration!!!! Good luck with your tomatoes!
Debbie Reynolds Good Luck even if it means you might have to feed an animal or two that’s okay. 😂
Debbie Reynolds can you do a video on how to plant the last tomato.. i am verly going to start making my own garden
Me too! He’s so funny!
Your channel is keeping me sane these days. Thank you for just talking about plants and no politics, virus, etc. ♥️
I love how your cat always shows up in any video! Nice added bonus to very helpful videos!
There comes Russell....it's so funny he's always somewhere close by. But we all love him.
Mary
I love when Russell pops out in your videos!
I love it when the kitties make their appearance.
I would love some education on how to start vegetable seeds indoor! Just so you know, your videos have fostered my love of gardening and have inspired me to add an additional garden to our yard. So excited! Thank you!!
I come for the garden advice and stay for the editing. “Clear. Plastic. Domes” y’all kill me 🤣
I’ve been sending your ‘beginning gardener’ videos to my daughter-in-law, who is starting her first real garden this year. Thank you, Laura.
I clicked so fast! You helped me prune my tomato for the first time last year and so many flushed out afterwards!
Love how you are focusing on the gardening basics of some of these foods. Keep them coming!
I love that your cat is always wandering around you as you film. We're cat people, too.
P. S. Just thought I’d share that one of my favourite things is to ruffle the tomato plant with my hand, like you would to a child’s hair and inhale that tomato plant smell. It’s amazing 🍅🌱🙌😉
I do the same lol
Great info Laura! I 💚💚💚 🍅.
I’ve grown tomatoes for 45+ years, since I was a little girl. I live in East Tennessee and our climate is completely opposite of yours.
We have always planted in rows in a big garden. We stake them and tie them up as they grow taller. Usually have 125-150 tomato plants of only a few different varieties. We do a lot of canning in the summer to have great tomatoes for soups, chili’s, spaghetti sauce, or to just open and eat, etc.
The last several years, I have planted a few tomatoes in a small area at my house.
🐛🐛🐛 Every single year, I get hornworms at the house. Never ever do I see them in the garden area. I plant marigolds with these to ward off insects the last couple of years. I did get some of the spray you recommended last year after seeing a few on my tomatoes. I really liked it. I plant them at several different areas at the house and those little pests found every one of my plants!!!
☹️🐛 Nothing worse than a hornworm devouring a beautiful plant. That’s one thing I would like you to discuss more for new gardeners. Don’t know why they are at the house and never in the big garden. Any ideas?
I also cut the bottom leaves off and plant them deep. I’ve found that the deeper the better! You can lay the plant on its side and the roots establish better and support the plant a little better. I also cut the suckers off as soon as I see them. So healthy for the plant and does allow better air flow!
I will be adding some straw around mine at home this year.
Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and your love of gardening.
Stay Safe & Happy! Blessings. 😇
pam ketron You can go out after dark with a black light flashlight and the hornworms will glow like neon lights and you can find them and pick them off and destroy them.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
I love when Russell makes an appearance. Heading to the nursery today for tomato starts. I wish I would have started seeds earlier.
I have been nervous to go. Bad time in my state & Im 70. But its so hard to wait.
I love seeing Russell too although I still miss Dexter.
Hello! You’re a Godsend! How can one be so knowledgeable, nice, experienced??? Just perfect!!! Thank you for what you do and share! ❤️
Laura you did an amazing job at informing everyone about the types of tomatoes and how to grow them. Thank you. I’d love to see more videos on different types of garden plants.
I LOVE seeing Russel in all of your videos! Hahaha
My Uncle was the head Ag agent for his County and would have loved this video!! Well done!!
🌿🍅🌿
Thank you! Explaining the blossom end rot happens to me and I never understood why! You are such a wonderful source of information.❤️
I just love Russell it makes me so happy hen he joins you!
Great coffee with Laura and Russell and the beginnings of tomato planting! Now I see some mistakes that I made last year in our garden at work and I will be keeping a journal of what to do for next year since we are not going to have a garden at our center since we are still closed. I think it's great that you are doing these basic videos because there are so many people that are new to gardening this year in particular due to the issues we are having.Thank you for thinking of how to help everyone become better gardeners and also be able to enjoy the fruits of their labors!!!!!
After WW2, here in Europe was hard time after all devastation in human and economic resorces and then in 1946 to 1948 aid started to come from USA, all people here named it Truman Aid, from mushed potatoes and scrambled eggs in powder to vegetable seeds, one of seeds was tamatoes, who know what variety it was but it was open polinator variety foe sure because my late grandmother all her life colected seeds from that tomatoes, we still plant them because my aunt still colect seeds from that tomato, it is great variety with large fruits, flashy with not a lot of seeds, great for slicing for salads but also great for cooking saouces, not only in my family that seeds are still growing, other people do, nobody know variety but everybody call it "americano". Offtopic but thought this little story about tomato could be interestinf to some viewers :)
Igor L- I love stories like that! So once upon a time the USA did something right. That is such a relief! What other kinds ofm seeds were there, and do you still save the seeds?
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting🌹
Love your channel, just “found” you a week ago. Good tips and too cute to boot! Imma gonna simmer right here.
Simma Downow welcome to the gang! You will love all of Laura and Aaron's videos!
I do love to see the kitty (or a dog) photo bomb the video. There is absolutely no time that this is not appropriate! Love it!
I almost bypassed this video as I wasn't planning on planting tomatoes. But I gave it go bc I'm an information junkie lol. I love learning. Now I want to plant a pot of tomatoes on my porch! Thanks for the inspiration!
In your follow-up video, can you go over “topping off” tomato plants? I thought about doing this last year when my tomatoes grew well over their cages, but I was afraid I would kill them. Thank you!!
I just found this channel and subscribed. I’m doing my “Happy Dance” ! Thank you soooo much for the excellent teachings. My garden is going to thrive. Happy Dance, Happy Dance! 💃🕺💃🕺🕺💃
Everytime I get a new veggie plant to start out with this year, you've posted a video a week after or so 🤦🏼♀️😂 I need to learn to wait for Laura! Thank you for sharing your tips! Super helpful for this beginner. 🙌❤️
Loving the “for beginners” series, very helpful. I might try tomatoes again!
You covered everything!! I love having the reminder of the types and many varieties. It's hard to pick and choose which ones to grow. 🍅🌻💗🍅🌻💗
This is perfect timing! Getting ready to plant my Cherokee tomato sometime this week. Thanks Laura! ♥️
The best explanation for Determinate, and Indeterminate I have heard! Thank you for that. Also about planting the tomato deeper for better roots stability. I’m like..🤦🏻that’s what happened for the last two years. Third time’s a charm🌻
I love Russell. 😂 he sees a camera and knows its his time to shine.
Nicole Gerrard
Russell thinks he’s in Hollywood, he always has a walk on part!
Incredibly helpful! I learned so much about tomatoes watching this video. I love how bubbly you are too!
I love Russell! 😆 Thank you for clarifying! I never knew the difference between determinate and indeterminate.
What perfect timing! Every morning as I get ready for work I put one of your videos on and you're my company in the early hours lol. Just the other day I was telling my friend I wanted to grow tomatoes(currently growing habanero peppers!) So this has to be a sign!❤
I love Russell, he always has to get it front of the camera!
I have been growing tomatoes for years and still found this full of valuable information and very interesting- I do get split tomatoes and end rot every year on a couple of tomatoes, you said due to overwatering and low calcium. You gave me some good watering tips-THANK YOU! Never miss a video!!
Two years ago I found a packet of tomato seeds in an old gardening magazine dated 1986, they were in aluminium foil. Well I planted them and they grew much to my dismay, they were called Santorini a small bushy variety and they bore fruit. The fruit was a bit sour don't know if it was the variety or the age of the seed. Anywho I am going to have another crack at growing tomatoes when our season allows. Thanks again for a really informative video Laura. Cheers Tammy.
Peter Hunt that’s amazing! Where i went to university they had one of the international seed vaults. They actually had wheat varieties from a mummy’s tomb that were still viable
Peter Hunt- Why, "much to my dismay"? Sounds really cool to me! Maybe read up on amendments. I know some affect the taste.
I am going to try and grow my first tomato plant in a container. I'm so excited. Thank you for the information 👍😊
Love ❤️ the beginners video!
Thank you Laura and Russell!
This video is so helpful! Exactly what I needed before planting my tomatoes this weekend! Thank you!!
Thank you! We just grew our first tomatoes from seed this year and this will definitely help us into the growing season and once they get a little bigger!
-DT
Thank you for this. I so appreciate the beginner tips; I just planted a tomato in a container and am so excited to watch it grow.
This was so informative! Thank you! I'm excited to use these tips this season! I haven't had the best luck with my tomatoes these past couple years so this is exactly what I needed.
OMG I love this video, I'm a bigginner and this is so helpful. I just prepared my raised beds for tomatoes, thank you so much Laura.😁😁
DID YOU READ MY MIND? This is exactly what I am doing this morning! As always, THANK YOU!
I have really upped my 🍅 tomato game this year. I have planted 12 tomato plants with 8 different varieties, indeterminate, determinate, hybrid and heirloom. I also have early producing to late producing. I'm super excited to see what I get and how well I do. 🌱🍅💚
i live in an apartment and after watching your video I felt confident enough to start my own container garden. Thank you for the helpful beginners tips! i've probably watched this 4x now along with the strawberry video !
Thanks Laura I especially liked your description of the types of tomatoes, one that I understand and and will remember because it now makes sense to me. 😊
Laura is a great explainer.
It’s a rainy day in Zone 6B South Central PA and I’m catching up on my Garden Answer videos. It’s winter in May and the 🍅s and annuals are undercover for at least the next 7 days. Keep showing us blooms while we are waiting to plant. 😀
Such a helpful video! Thank you Laura!
I’m a beginner gardener and am learning so much from your channel!
I have learnt so much from your tomato plant video , though I’m sure I’ll need to keep referring back. Thank you Laura
I love these in-depth videos. So much information! Please do one for pumpkins, both information and planting from seeds.
Thanks for the beginner tips!! We have been liveaboards for 20 years, but have finally become landlubbers! Starting a garden this year and having fun!!
thanks so much for all the tomato planting details, I learned a lot I didn't know after planting tomatoes in containers for years
You never cease to amaze me! Your garden, your flowers, your knowledge is so expiring! You can’t possibly do all your own pruning/maintenance do you?? Thankyou for all you do for us who love being in the garden!

I'm brand new to this, SO wish I would've watched this before buying my plants!! Learned SO SO much, thank you, best beginner gardening video I've seen!
I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks and keep up they great work you do. I frequently watch your videos with my morning coffee. Then I head outside to work on my project of the day. I'm starting to like staying at home.
I've learned so much! I've had poor luck with tomatoes in the past, so I've identified several things that would improve my results!! Thank you!!
Thank you!!! I'm going to try tomatoes in a container next year. I've had so many issues with them in the past because I didn't realize there was so much to know. This helps a lot!
Thanks for such a in-depth session in tomato care!
New gardener here, Thank you for this info! Absolutely love those pots!
Hi, I recently found your channel and I've been binge watching your videos. I'm enjoying them very much. I just planted my very first tomato, cucumber, and pepper plants. I also planted some basil, mint, dill, cilantro, and thyme. I know nothing about gardening. I've always enjoyed watching other people garden, but always afraid to try it myself. Watching your videos inspired me to just go for it and start planting. Now that I have more time on my hands, I'm at my local garden shop almost every day. My patio garden is starting to look very nice. I planted trees, shrubs, vines, all sorts of flowers, and succulent arrangements. Thank you for inspiring me. I'm really enjoying the process of planting and watching things grow. Wish me luck.
Thank you so much. Perfect timing. My local garden centre reopened this morning after weeks and so I went and bought my first ever tomato seeds to plant. As I won't be able to travel down to my garden for another month, I'm hoping to start them here in Milan and then bring my very own seedlings with me to my garden in Tuscany. Thanks for a super informative video. Wish me luck :-)
Sounds like you agree with Jess from Roots and Refuge "Store bought tomatoes taste like disappointment." 🤣😂 it's so true.
My favorite utube gardener! Jess is an AMAZING gardener💜💜💜
Oh my dad says that too. Loves his tomato sandwiches and when bought from store he tells my mom it tastes like ....nothing but he puts it in a different way lol. I dislike tomatoes...the thick tough skin and no taste...until i had a sandwich with one from garden...oh my it was night and day
I have always said I do not like tomatoes. I'll power through them because I know they're important but I do not like them. My friend who loooves them always says that it's because I've only had crappy store bought tomatoes.
Thank you for this. I am really a beginner gardener, and you explain so well, even I can understand. :)).
And this year is the first time I have started from seed, and you have inspired me.
most thorough video I have ever watched!
Excellent video! I have grown tomatoes for years and yet learned so much today! Thank you
Great info! Nothing beats the flavor of a homegrown tomato!
Yes! Thank you! I have so many growing in the window sills, this was so helpful!
Very helpful! I particularly liked the info on determinate, semi-determinate,etc. always enjoy your expertise on plants.
I am planting my first veggie garden this summer, so these veggie planting videos are very helpful. Thank you.
Your garden is so beautiful and a source of inspiration
This was terrific! I've grown tomatoes before but I took a break after having my last child... watching this I realize I was making a ton of mistakes before. I'm super excited to start again and feel like I'm getting an amazing education from you!
Love Russel, and this location, oh, and all the tomato planting info!!! Thanks again!
AWESOME. VIDEO. Thank you for all the work you both put into them! I am a better and more inspired gardener because of you!
Great info! Glad to know I can use Tomato Tone when planting.
I FINALLY understand determinate and indeterminate! Thank you for great explanations. 🍅
So happy you made this video.
Thank you for this video! I learned so much. I had no idea there was such a thing as determinate and non-determinate! The lack of success in years past make a lot more sense now 🙂
This is the best explanation of determinate and indeterminate tomatoes I have ever heard.
Great Info! I am growing tomatoes for the first time in year's. Always love your videos 😍 Have a great day ❣️
I love your enthusiasm and knowledge about tomatoes! Excellent video.... thank you very much!
I have now been inspired to grow a tomato plant in a container. Thank you.
You honestly deserve all the YT success you have because you have helped so many people and encourage people to grow their own fruits and veggies, so good for sustainability! I wish you the best
I've been crying tomatoes for years but it was nice to get a refresher course. I had forgotten some things thanks🌱
Whoa! So much great info! I love that u stick to topic and keep it moving! 👍👍
Excellent advice and could listen to you all day!!
I had a tomato plant that survived well into December
@Minnie Marie i live in the uk so I was really lucky to have to survive that long
