Ya, this guy’s video was top notch. He got another subscriber
Ah, thank you for that. And welcome - so glad to have you!
For real! #1.
Holy Moley, thanks for taking me to school...this is hands-down the most informative and easiest to understand video on tomato maintenance I've ever seen...now, I GET IT!!! Thank you so much!!!
You are so very, very welcome! I love hearing we helped make something click =)
Absolute best of luck with your toms. Ours are just ripening up and it has been delightful to have some summer harvests!
I second that!!! Super clear and to the point!! Thanks for taking the time to make this very educative video! 😊🙏🏼🌿🍅
….And OMG! I wrote my comment a few seconds to the end of the video….! So just heard about the tip of growing new roots on the stems we just sadly had to cut to plant them back!!! So simple and never thought about it…!!! 🤯….😂😂😂
Agreed this is a great video and with the really good quality shots I can see exactly what parts of the plant he’s referring to with the terms I don’t understand/know yet😂
What if the base set of branches and leaves are really thick and leathery but not necessarily yellow? Should I trim those off or wait further?
We have been growing tomatoes for years already and I can confirm that this man is 100% correct on any subject he explained in this video! We grow for our own needs but we have knowledge on how they grow professionally in large scale greenhouses in The Netherlands. Apart from the fact that professionally they grow based on hydroponics, but this is actually how you need to prune and maintain your plants to get the most out of your plant with limited space. Good info!
Really appreciate you sharing that! Always cool to hear from growers with different (and professional) experience in the field. Thank you for the vote of confidence =)
Ponics😂

Finally, an informative video! So tired of trying to get information from gardeners who want to show you their house, sports, cars, boats, and RVs before they take it to the garden and give little to no information. We all appreciate you, and I have subscribed! You are the new go to.
My lack of boats and RVs keeps me honest on that front ;)
So glad you enjoy the videos and the channel. I'm recovering from some big life events and being under the weather but will be back to uploading regularly soon!
Thanks for acknowledging the emotional aspect of pruning. Even after having many gardens over the years, I dislike cutting plants back. I also struggle to pull out the weakest of the seedlings. ❤
You are welcome! I hate culling seedlings and I worry about hurting the plant overpruning. Just the truth =)
True that, I'm always worried "will I kill it?" also, "will I reduce my yield by pruning?"
Great info on determinant plants, thanks.
@@thenneedd 🤣🤪
Thought I was a little strange for my sympathy for seedling pulling! It's so intense to the effect of me finding a random available spot to transplant it, weeds or not 😢
Lol. Probably have a hard time letting go.
The electric toothbrush hack is awesome. My neighbor might think I'm nuts but I'll still give them some tomatoes. If they laugh at me, they get ZERO. :)
LOVE IT
I garden primarily on a converted front lawn space so the neighbors certainly must assume I'm nuts =)
My mom use to take suckers and replant them for a late crop. They always rooted good.
Definitely! Great way to get the most out of your pruning chores =)
I have a friend whose garden got frosted, so i went to my garden picked a bunch of suckers and told him to take them home stick then right in the dirt put a bucket over them for the next week and he would have a while new crop planted. He said it was the best garden he ever had.
But how is it possible if the suckers don't have any roots? Just put them straight in the ground, water them, and they will grow their root system?
@@gablan1468 yes, they root in dirt. You can also root them in water then transplant to dirt. Lots of vids on YT show the process of removing lower stems b4 putting in water if you want to give it a try
Yup I get another large round out of them.
I have been a teacher for nearly 20 years. So appreciate when I can learn from others. You are a stellar teacher!
I really, truly appreciate that. I hope it proved helpful in your garden =)
Well explained, well recorded and straight to the point...thank you for going into detail
Besides learning a lot from you, another awesome thing is listening the birds in the background
I looooove the birds in some of these. Always bums me out now when they aren't there.
We seem to be at a loss for birds. They are still around in much smaller numbers or infrequently.
Used to be birdsong in the morning every day.
Haven't heard that for maybe a year now.
Replaced by the increasing noise of traffic.
I made a birdbath but no customers so far.
Other wildlife also less.
Including bees.
Planted a few flowers which I never normally do. Putting in retic, with timers/controllers eventually.
Tomatoes now look like a good idea !!
I'm gardening for the first time this year, and my tomatoes definitely look out of control. Thanks for such a well explained video as it's helped me a lot to understand how to take care of the plant with pruning.
Oh you're so welcome - I'm glad it helped =)
Good luck with your tomatoes!
I too am new to gardening and my tomatoes look vey bushy. Will be trying this. I have a lot of cherry and alike. Need to address them now.
First time seeing this guy and he is great!!! Neen gardening for 40 yrs!!!
Well thank you for saying so! Glad we made it onto your radar =)
I learned something new with Missouri pruning. Thank you!
I really like that technique! I wish I found all my suckers early.... but you know, life happens =)
Thanks for watching!
I like how he gets to the main discussion! 🎉 thanks
You are most welcome! Glad you liked it =)
Years ago, when I first started growing tomatoes, my father -- who had never in my knowledge even stepped foot in a vegetable garden -- told me about suckering. Now that he's been gone the last few years, every time I'm in my garden, and especially when I'm tending to my tomato plants, I think of him and grin. What's an odd duck he was!
That's a lovely memory! It's strange how little factoids stick with us to share on... =)
Totally true. When i starten growing tomatoes years ago, they went crazy. Huge bushes. I didn't know you have to remove the suckers. Now i do.
What’s funny is we grow in bags but we do not remove suckers we barely prune at all. We have no disease, in zone 10b (hot), and we have more tomatoes on each plant than we did when we would previously prune them. Sometimes it’s fun to experiment.
100%! Experimentation is the best way to find what fits your garden at the end of the day =)
The best tomato video I have ever seen. Thank you!
YAY. That's high praise and I genuinely appreciate it =)
I’m growing tomatoes for the first time this year. I’ve let a few lower suckers get huge as I didn’t understand they were suckers at first. I didn’t know what the best thing to do with them was until I watched your video. This has been very helpful. Thank you.
No problem! So glad it was helpful - and good on you for researching like this on your first year with them =)
Good luck!
Easily the best, most comprehensive and practical guide to pruning and overall care of all kinds of tomatoes. Thanks for sharing! I'm now going to go back and look at more of Nestdoor Homestead's videos!
Oh well thank you very much - really appreciate that! Hope you like the other videos too =)
@@NextdoorHomestead I just watched one your videos on filling a raised bed. Very good suggestions! FYI-last year, we bought two key-hole gardens, 4'x4'x2.5'. The manufacturer suggested layering the cardboard the kit came in, fresh grass clippings and brown organic material such as leaves, and then top it with a good soil mix. It worked great to fill up 2 ft of space and use up all of the cardboard.
@@LegacyConnection A cardboard layer can be a great addition! We don't have much weed pressure in that area so I skipped it but it can be very helpful in converted lawn spaces IMO
Too bad I didn't watch this before I planted. I'm new to gardening and am learning so much from people like you. Very informative and well made video. I'm laughing as I look at my 6 x 8 foot raised tomato bed. Everything you said is true. It's a JUNGLE! Next year I will be following your tips.
Well thank you so very much for such kind words. We've all been there with the tomato jungle! At least they're still fun in their own right =)
Best video I've seen on Pruning. I watched, then started pruning my tomatoes. I have around 40 tomato plants growing. I caught your video at the perfect time.
Your explanation was very through. I also took a few of the larger suckers and put them in the ground.
I'll check out your video on cucumbers. I'm growing them as well as melons.
Hit me up if you ever need some sewing done.
Thank you so much for your tomato tutorial. I learned a lot. I still have a bunch to plants to prune.
Wow, thank you! Feels pretty good to know it was useful enough to make such a good impression. I hope the suckers you planted take off and you get an amazing tomato (and cucumber!) harvest this year!
Happy gardening =)
@@NextdoorHomestead You're very welcome. I wish I had more. I mentioned I do sewing. I'd love to send you a couple of bags that I make. This morning, I've pruned almost 10 plants. I noticed that a lot of my plants have three and four stems. A few of the plants I pruned to two stems. I'm not sure what to do with the others. The plants are a lot more manageable after pruning. It was getting crazy. Your tutorial helped me tons. When I have time I'll check you other videos. Right now I have to hurry and finish setting up my strawberry patch.
@@NextdoorHomestead One sucker is doing good the other 6 or 8 are in shock, but maybe they'll come around.
The best video on anything would be 5 minutes long and get to the point but CZcamsrs want money from viewing time so they all need to be 20 minutes long. Waste of life.
You always do a great job of explaining how to do both types of tomatoes.
Well thank you very much =)
At 12:05, you're not wrong, but in wetter environments like some of the eastern US where it rains pretty much once a week (sometimes raining pretty much all week), if you leave the lower leaves on you are inviting soil borne disease issues. You can wait and cut the lower leaves off gradually, cutting it back as the leaves develop brown spots, but ALWAYS cut off the affected leaves if you live in an area with lots of rain. If you don't, you will notice that one brown spot on a leaf quickly becomes brown spots on many leaves all around the initial infection as rain splashes the spores around. At 14:48, it's probably important to mention that you need to remove the flowers, or the cutting will try to prioritize making tomatoes instead of roots, and often dies trying to do so. Great info in this video, I'll have to check out your channel.
This is such a thoughtful, well-reasoned comment. Love it =)
And GREAT POINT about rooting suckers - definitely remove those flowers!
WRT disease spread, fair points I reckon. There's a gradient that goes from dry, low-disease pressure contexts to high-disease pressure contexts that should inform our pruning strategy. I hope to one day find some definitive research on whether (and to what degree) lower-foliage pruning truly impacts disease spread but I haven't been able to so far!
Thanks for adding to the discussion and have a great day in the garden^^
@@NextdoorHomestead No problem. I'm in the Blue Ridge Mtns of VA, and it rains all the time. I'm also in a cool, damp microclimate in that range, so fungal issues are even worse. Every time a raindrop hits the ground, it has the chance of splashing up dirt and whatever's in it. If you ever went out after a heavy rain and noticed the lower leaves and stems of your plants are coated in dirt, that's an extreme example of the issue. I noticed over the years that mulching compared to bare dirt makes a huge difference, but without more input, disease still works it's way up from the bottom, and once one leaf becomes infected, the next rainy period will spread the problem, mostly horizontally, but also upwards. The only way to stop the spread is to remove every brown spot before the next rain, but if it rains too soon, it can spread before it's even visible. Staying on top of it extends the production of my indeterminate tomatoes by weeks to a couple months, depending on weather.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it. We’ve had a really bad growing season in the UK this year, so I’m not sure if we’ll get any decent crops of tomatoes at all.
@@daz6637😢 Sorry to hear that. I hope that not all is lost, and that next year's yield is better! 🍅 (cheers from 🇺🇸)
Wow. Such a great video !! I struggle to pay attention but i could not miss one word of this.
High praise for the presentation and for the production in general.
I learned so much !!
Thank You 🙋☺️☺️🙋
I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for taking a moment to share.
This is one of my favorite topics for sure =)
Watching this beside my tomato plante
How's your garden going? Thanks for watching =)
Is it a French tomato?
@@NextdoorHomestead good, thank you for the tips!!
Thank you for making such a clear video. I’ve never really pruned my tomatoes, and they have definitely been overgrown and thick like a berry hatch. In the weight of the tomatoes often times break the branches last year was my first year that they got a late flight and I lost most of them. I’ve been researching how to trellis. And I will prune as you showed and hope to have a much better and more manageable crop this year!
Good luck with your plant management! I've been away from the garden for a bit and need to go clean up the bushy mess myself today =)
Loved this video, thanks so much! I just got a green house set up in our cold climate and now understand how to make the most of my plants to get fruit from them. Well done and many thanks ♥
You're so welcome! That's very cool to have a greenhouse to help - good luck with your garden this year =)
I've watched so many videos on tomato pruning... finally one that explains everything step by step and in a way that makes it really easy! Thank you so much! Going to wait for the full moon and then jump right in!
You are so very welcome and I genuinely really appreciate your comment! Love hearing our stuff was helpful =)
And I love your Totoro icon! You may see my Totoro mug pop up in some of our videos actually^^
"You're not growing leaves. You're growing tomatoes." That line hooked me on your channel. It was the first time I ever heard it and had a great chuckle. It also happened to be the first time hubby and I decided to grow tomatoes; grow anything. He came out with 17 cubes of tiny plants. 😅 'big boys.' No info how to grow them, no cage or trellis, and no information sheet. I pull out two window size planters and was pleased as they started growing. Realized soon after that this 'project was going to be more than I thought. Three ten gallons later with three tomato plants later I was off buying more planters to repot leaving one or two plants in each. Thankfully, I found your channel and ran out excitedly with my pruner and away we went.😂😂😂
Hahaha love this! I'm a big fan of going big to start and learning as much as you can from it. I hope you end up swimming in tomatoes. Best of luck to you and your husband on the garden adventures!
Ive been backyard gardening for about 6-years which means Im only beginning to learn the ABC's of soil mechanics and plant biology, your videos are concise, informative, and above all you are not trying to upsell me anything, thank you so much for that. Oh and thank you for the informative pruning video too. I've successfully cloned a few plants from the clippings. Once established, given to friends or family.
I love giving away seedlings! Good on you for sharing. And I think you don't give yourself enough credit - based on your comments you seem very thoughtful and knowledgeable in the garden.
Cheers!
Hi great videos and channel thanks to your advice I just pollenated my plants with the advice you gave cheers 🍅✌️😎✌️👍
superb instruction ! thanks!
I just planted a small garden for a family to help them. I am astonished that they literally know nothing! But want to!!!! So thank you for knowing there are people just starting and we should help them so they don’t give up!
No problem! We're all still learning and getting better I figure. Gardening's a fun hobby because it moves too slow to learn it all in a year or two =)
You were so right about using the electric tooth brush on top of the flowers. I have trippled my tomatoes! Thank you so much.
OH YAY! So glad to hear that - hope you're enjoying the toms this year =)
Thankyou! I had NO idea I was supposed to prune my tomatoes. Your videos are concise and easy to follow and I really appreciate them. 🙏
No problem! I appreciate you watching =)
I only have 8 tomato plants and keeping up with the suckers has been overwhelming to the point I might just let them grow wild and be better about it early on next year. I didn’t know cherry tomatoes differ in pruning, that’s great to know!
I sure know that feeling! Now that summer is in full swing, it won't be long until I start getting overwhelmed too. Weeds and pruning are the two things that always seem to get out of control in July.
Anyhow, the nice thing is, if you get the early suckers it's not as big of a deal if you let them bush out a bit later on. It's those first couple months you've got to be on it =)
Best of luck with your plants Janelle! And thank you for watching as awlays!
Same! I went out to do some pruning and it seems like most of the tomatoes are on the suckers! 😠
its a full time job
If cherry toms are in hanging baskets can you still have a successful harvest if you leave them be or will the stems break. 🦋
Best video so far on why and how to prune your tomato plant
Yay! Ahh, that's just so wonderful to hear. Very, very glad you enjoyed it =)
Wow, I didn’t know a THING about pruning cherry tomatoes! (60 year old gardener here!) I will give it a shot - today!😃
Have fun in the garden! We've got a big day of gardening planned for later too =)
Great info, thanks!!🍅
Thanks for watching! Glad it was useful =)
I only grow cherry tomatoes and this is the first time I've heard cherry-specific instructions. No wonder my yields are always small!
I hope it helped! Happy gardening this year - cherry toms are the best =)
Thank you so much! That was a wonderful, clear presentation that I will apply to my new tomato garden! Yes, I’m glad that you said it is emotionally hard to prune off those big suckers; because I feel the same way!😭😂❤ 🍅
No problem, I'm so glad it made sense - we just love hearing that =)
And I will never not get a little bummed having to prune my tomatoes!
Love your videos...lots of great easy to follow info!
THANK YOU! So lovely reading comments like yours =)
Excellent video! Thanks so much!
So glad you liked it! Our pleasure =)
Outstanding ❤ Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! Glad ya liked it =)
I found your video the most helpful out of all the videos that I've watched. You don't want gate everything so it keeps my brain in tune and able to grasp everything without disconnecting and fading out. You have covered the house and wise where everybody else just has been saying do without leaving my brain comprehending though why. Thank you.
Now to explain my situation. I've never grown a garden before. But in the spur of the moment I was at the store and I saw some seats and decided to grab various packets of seeds and start a growing a garden. What makes it unique too my situation is I live on an operate a semi truck across the country. Therefore I am growing a garden on 2020 Kenworth tea semi 18 wheeler truck. I'm not foreseeing my tomato plant growing is large as yours. And this moment I have two vine or main's stems as you call them. They are probably about a foot high beyond the soil.
I would like keep them as pure informance possible without insecticides or chemicals of any sort. Would you happen to have any suggestions or tips for a newbie on a semi growing a garden?
I believe that I should include the information that I do not know what kind of tomatoes these are. The package just said tomatoes. I don't believe it gave a specific type.
Thanks! What I learned… I have been pruning my cherry tomatoes to 1 main stem. Next year I will try two stems. I have been growing tomatoes from seed for quite awhile. Nice to see it confirmed that determinants can be left alone except for maybe bottom leaves
No problem! I hope you like the double leader style! What variety do you have growing this year?
A nice informative video just in time.❤
Glad to hear it! Good luck =)
Very helpful. Thank you
No problem! Thanks for watching =)
This has been the most informative video. I have seen on trimming tomatoes
Well thank you kindly for saying so! Appreciate that =)
I have started to say that I am an expert at growing tomatoe bushes, I hardly get any tomatoes but my tomatoe plants are incredible. Thank you for your advice, I am going to go out now and do some pruning.
Hahaha oh no! Pruning and potentially determining if you have too much nitrogen might help =)
Absolute best of luck to you!
I have seen a lot of pruning videos and yours is by far the best.
Oh wow, that's a huge compliment. Genuinely appreciate that.
Best tomato pruning video I've seen! Really appreciate it. Thanks for explaining the why for everything. It's useful to remember the info when you know the why
Ah, thank you for that. I was worried it was going to be too much "why" and it's been really nice to see people dig it.
Cheers and good luck in your garden!
Fantastic video, learnt so much to do differently next year.
I’ve rooted my suckers this year and have so many free plants!
Yay! Especially to free plants! I'm a big fan of all things free in the garden ;)
I learned a great deal - thank you!!! I just want to tell you about an experience I had last year (unfortunately we moved to a condo and I don't have my patio tomato anymore) I trimmed a big sucker and stuck it in a pot of dirt. I had just sitting there and it started growing... And it grew more tomatoes and got bigger than my initial plant!
Love that! It's the way of the garden right? The random plant we grow on a whim does the best ;)
I'm a beginner with my mini garden( for now) your videos is so helpful. You lay out everything in details even with arrow pointing and name them what is what. Most gardeners videos just verbally telling us is not helpful we are new to the gardening world we would not understand. I should do okay with my tomatoes with your helpful information. Subscribed! Thank you!
Oh you don't know how much I love this comment! I'm not very good at video editing so all those little text notes and arrows take me forever! So, so glad you found them helpful =)
Thanks for sharing!
This video was so educational and easy to follow for a beginner Gardner such as myself. Thank you!
Oh, I'm just so glad to hear that! Best of luck with your tomatoes!
I have grown tomatoes on my back deck for quite a number of years, some years more successfully than others, and always wondered about how to help pollinate the plants when the bees are not plentiful. This was very useful information. I will have to get the electric toothbrush and try it out. This year the "Tomato Forest" numbers 25, and may be the best one yet because of you! Thanks!
Best of luck! The electric toothbrush is a great tool to have while you're just out enjoying the garden to get that extra boost out of your plants =)
Plant suckers for whole new plant
...and they seem to extend the season
..
I learned a lot. Thanks for the info
So glad to hear it!
Very thorough video. Thank you!😊
You're so welcome! They always end up a little more thorough (and long) than I imagine ;)
Thank you for the simplicity. I appreciate it.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching.
very informative. learned a lot.
That's awesome, thanks for letting me know! And good luck with your toms this year =)
Excellent advice!!
Thank you sir! Appreciate that.
This is my first year growing tomatoes in containers. I have been removing small suckers but didnt know about the rest. I have been fighting end bloom rot. I think that is over but what a crazy ride. I will go and do this today to my tomato plants. Thank you for the information!!
You're welcome! Blossom end rot is a total pain but at least it's typically temporary.
Best of luck with the rest of the season =)
Genius - cordless toothbrush to get fruit set. Best explanation of why to prune. Must have watched a dozen tomato pruning videos from well-known channels and yours is the best.
This comment just 100% made my day! Thank you for watching and for the kind words! More importantly - good luck with your toms!
Thanks for the info and especially the recap.
You're so welcome! Glad the recap was useful^^
Thank you so much for this video. I've been following all the other CZcamsr gardeners advice about single stemming larger tomatoes. But, I look at my plants and they look rather naked. Getting some extra leaves via the Missouri pruning method looks like genius to me.
It's a handy little technique! And good on you for applying what you see and tweaking to your own garden's needs!
Awesome thanks
Glad you liked it!
love your channel! I am a new gardener and am learning so much. Thank you😃. would love to see a pepper variation of this video.
I'm so glad you're enjoying our videos Marianna!!! And no problem at all =)
We do actually have a pepper pruning video but the takeaway is pretty simple: I don't recommend pruning them very much!
great video - as always!
Thank you - that's just lovely to hear^^
Your video is very informative for us newbies. It's good to know we prune cherry tomatoes different from large tomatoes.
I have a tomato bush with a few tiny tomatoes. This information should change my world. Thanks.
Best of luck! I hope it proves helpful and your tomato yields improve =)
Perfect. Just perfect.
So glad it was useful for you!
Best video I have watched on pruning tomatoes. Thank you.
You're so welcome! Very, very glad to hear that^^
Great info. I’m just now starting to learn gardening. This video was extremely helpful. You got a new subscriber
Ah, that's awesome! So good to hear it was helpful.
Gardening is the best hobby I've ever gotten into. You'll have a blast =)
Great video.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much. We have had a great summer of rain so everything is growing like crazy. It’s my first year and my plants are huge! So I appreciate the tips on taking care of these
You're so welcome! That's so awesome to hear - let me tell you what; my first year(s) gardening were not full of huge plants ;)
Hope the tips help out!
Great information, thanks
No problem - so glad you found it informational =)
And thanks for watching!
This is awesome! I just got a cherokee tomato plant and ive never grown tomatoes before, will definitely reference this video!
Oh Cherokee is such a cool variety. Great choice. Have fun this year in the garden!
Thank you, you have answered so many ? I had. I look forward to see how my tomatoes do. This year i have black cherry tomatoes, very excited to see end result.
Black cherry is such a *terrific* variety. My only complaint is it can be a little slow to get into production, but it's amazing otherwise.
Love your channel! I'm definitely learning a lot this year, thank you!
You are so welcome! Love hearing that 😁
love it this is the one.
Good video mate nice one
Very much appreciate that, thank you for giving it a watch!
I instantly subscribed and liked your video before 60 secs in. You can tell a real one. Thanks 😊
THANK YOU! What a lovely comment to wake up to =)
I genuinely hope our future videos continue to be useful to you. Best of luck in the garden!
Thankyou!
Really great/helpful presentation!! Thank you!!
You're very welcome! Thank *you* for watching!
This was Incredibly Helpful! I just discovered your channel this morning when I searched for how to prune tomatoes. I am so glad I did! I am now a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you so much for such informative and well delivered information!
Welcome and thank you for the kind words! So glad it proved helpful and best of luck with your toms^^
Thanks for your great video, you share valuable information including complete explanations, i appreciate ur work very much!
I'm growing about 30+ tomatoe plants in my garden and started gardening 3 years ago, i already knew a bit about pruning but learned more from your video, didn't know the specifics of cherry tomatoes.
Only thing i won't do is using a tooth brush because there's so many bees and insects in the garden which will pollinate almost 100% of the flowers - it's not a veggie garden only, but also houses different wild and natural spots with wild flowers, deathwood pile, wild meadow and so on.
Thanks again ❤
That sounds lovely! I am definitely finding I have to do less manual pollination the more flowering plants I grow. Depends on the time of year for me though - we tend to get a lot of pollinators in early summer and then fewer as the flowers taper off.
Thank you so much for going into so much depth! So many other videos on the subject only tell part of the story or assume we already know so much. Without the 'Why', it's hard to remember the 'how'. Thanks again!!
You are so welcome! I am so happy to hear that it was useful and not just information overload =)
Thank you, thank you!!!
Thank *you* for watching!
Wow awesome video
Thank you kindly! Very glad you liked it =)
Awesome thank you 🙏
You are so welcome!
Learning alot,thank you!
No problem, so glad to hear it!!!
So good! Thank you I’ve learned so much!
No problem! Glad to help =)
I enjoy learning from your videos about tomatoes
So glad to hear it =)
Awesome! Thanks
You're welcome! And thanks for watching =)
Great, interesting
Glad you think so!
thank you for info
No problem! Happy gardening =)
Awesome video man! Thanks for all the knowledge :)
No problem at all and thank you for that. So glad you liked it^^
