You know once u pat the bag one
Do you water the compost everyday and take the bag off or do you not water them
I've no idea why this guy is not a regular on TV !! He's brilliant, honest and so easy to understand!
It’s times like these I’m grateful to my dad and grandma for teaching me to grow my own food. It may go from useful hobby to outright necessity. 🤘🏻🌱🤘🏻
Precious Metal Head I completely agree with you. When there are reports of the next buying craze being seeds, I smile to myself because I’ve been doing it for years, and I’m well on my way already. 👍
Too right!
@@barbaraennema1559 time to start saving your own seeds. They grow well b.c they're now climatized for your area
My mother and grandmother taught me
Absolutely. Panic buying? I was like "Ha I have an allotment!"
you’re my dad now
😂
I grow Stonor's Most Prolific which has been unavailable since 1980's. It was produced in 1930's when my father's friend grew the variety and passed seed onto my father, who saved the seed annually and when he couldn't grow anymore, gave me the job of keeping this indeterminate variety going.
You should set up a little eBay or Amazon store to sell some on, if you wish. That would be really useful and appreciated by the rest of us, as well as keeping the variety going strong.
Wow - you are a true variety guardian. That's quite something.
@@Haze1434 Thank you, great suggestion. I don't want this variety to be lost .
Painting with Parrots I’d love a few seeds of this variety for next spring. Literally 4 seeds, any chances you and I talking?
I would be honoured to be part of this seed protecting scheme,
Its one of life's treats, being able to grow your own tomatoes. Really enjoyed this, thank you.
It really is!
How can anyone dislike this video. They just keep getting better and better. My only problem with growing my own is I keep forgetting I only have a small garden😂
Uk home grown veg small. 2.5lb spuds in 10 inch pot, 10 leeks in a 10 inch. He is a lovely gent. Yog pot growing too
Ha! Yes! 🙂 The potting-on advice at 3:10 about picking up seedlings by their leaves was something my late dad taught me when I was small. He said that lifting a very young plant by its leaves was like picking up a toddler by placing your hands under its arms. Safe, gentle and secure.
Grabbing it by the stem was like picking up a child one-handed by the throat! 😲
Seriously, though: the explanation is that squeezing a flat leaf does relatively little harm; squishing the cylindrical stem can crush vital transport vessels and choke a young plant to death.
Very true. A gentle, careful touch is always best. :-)
Another tip is to prune them to the lowest fruit. This will allow more airflow and sunlight to the tomato :)
New to this gardening stuff , watched loads of videos and keep coming back to yours . Love your Attitude and videos as they short and to the point . No waffling . 🙏🏻 thanks 🙏🏻
Totally agree, so many knowledgeable presenters waffle on for ages and ages before getting to the point.
Thanks for that Matthew, very much appreciated.
I saved seeds from a wonderfully sweet cherry tomato called Sugar Gold last year. I now have a dozen starts for myself, family, and friends. Can't think of a better gift. Thanks for this timely video.
You're in for a treat Elaine.
I am growing Ildi, a yellow cherry bush tomato- sweetest I have found! Also have some coeur di bue, san marzano, roma, tigrella, russian black, marmande & sungold- our granddaughters love the different colours & shapes. Needless to say most are eaten before they make it to the house!
Always the best way - eat 'em fresh as you can!
I love how you use metric and imperial systems in your videos. Thank you!
We try to cover all bases for both US and non-US audiences. :-)
Shirley Martin that isn’t a system, just a tempature thing
Even in the metric UK some of us still prefer imperial 👍Although there is a rumour we may be using both in 2022 due to Brexit🤔🌿
One tomato I'm growing for the first time the year is Paul Robeson (named after the actor) because it was very very highly recommended by another gardener as the best she ever tasted, she says.....pick them in the afternoon before watering and it will blow you away.
We are growing red cherry, blueberry, purple Cherokee heirloom and German heirloom this year. All have successfully been sprouted and transplanted into their own pots. They’ve been in a sunny window but are just about ready to spend a few hours outside and make the transition to outdoors full time! The video is very helpful, thank you! From Tacoma, Washington, USA.
I have expanded my tomato seed collection and this year I am growing 15 different varieties suited to living in tropical Indonesia. The three I am most excited about are Lucid Gem, Madagascar and Peachy Keen. Nice video!
Sounds great!
Hi, I also grow Tomatoes here in the Philippines....
Our season is a little different in Florida. Just picked my first Cherokee Purple yesterday. It was utterly delicious... so worth the time invested. Just waiting for more to ripen. This channel has helped in my success. I appreciate the knowledge.
Heather, I'm so jealous you are already picking your garden bounty! I can't even plant until the end of May (in Denver).
Thanks Heather. Lovely to be picking tomatoes already!
The best videos! Short, to the point, and full of information. Thank you!!
See home grown veg too yog pot, 10l bucket with 10 leeks, n carrots in a pot genious
These are my favorite types of videos. Showing beginning to end. Takes a lot of work I'm sure but it is appreciated
Thanks for that! :-)
This video was just what I needed right now! I started some seedlings indoors and now I need to repot them.
See home grown veg sm gardener. 10l bucket 40 carrots, 10l bucket 10 leeks a great gent. Yog pot produce too.
Thanks for this really concise video! It's my first time growing tomatoes this year, and I can't wait for the fruit!
I love your videos! You have made gardening a form of catharsis for me!
Sandwich bag with some small holes in makes a great flexible propagation lid
Just so fabulous. I have just used some of the tips....now fingers crossed! Thank you for this!
Thank you for uploading this video as I struggle every year with planting from seeds. I then started using plugs and had a full harvest last year.
Sometimes it's worth just buying in your plants/seedlings. That way you can grow a greater variety of types too.
Growing for the first time. Love the growveg app. It has so much useful info in it and love the flexibility of changing your mind of where to transplant things. Highly recommended.

I have 2 new favorites. Sleeping Lady tomatoes, and Moreton Tomatoes.
Thank you! Really helpful & easy to follow captured in a nutshell!
Thank you, lovely to hear an English voice :)
I love your videos. I don't pick off the suckers on indeterminate varieties. I have a determinate in my greenhouse, and I have beefstake started to put in a raised bed, and I have a semi-determinate started that I plan on having in pots by the raised bed. Thanks again😍
Excellent video for the first time tomato grower. Thank you!
Fantastic. Yet again, clear and precise instructions. If every vegetable I wish to grow in my garden is covered by your short and excellent films, I'm in for a good season. Thank you.
See home grown beg site lovely gent 10l bucket growing
Growing yellow pear tomatoes. It will be my first time. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!
I can’t believe one of my favorite video series on CZcams is basically a commercial but they are so well done it’s hard not to love them. Someone is a marketing genius.
Exactly what I thought, there's no real work it's just good editing, I do videos up to date and in raw form no mess no fuss just me and my veg
Thanks for that. We took the decision earlier on to not monetise the channel with advertising. Instead we drop in - very occasionally - mentions of our one product, the Garden Planner, which helps to pay everyone's bills here. Glad you enjoy the videos!
That was so useful thank you! I now know where I went wrong and you explained bits that confused me so easily
I love listening to your videos, so easy to follow for my first veg patch, thank you you are great!
Very kind of you to say. And good luck with your first veg patch. :-)
I'm growing amana orange, Cherokee purple, yellow pear, brads atomic grape, red cherry, and an unknown heirloom I saved from last year. I'm excited for this season!
Only growing three varieties of tomatoes this year. Gold and Red cherries for salads. Roma for tomato sauces. Slicing tomatoes for sandwiches and juices. :)
Very nice!
Hi Ben, thanks for all the advice. Love your videos. They have spurred me on to grow my first spinach from seedlings - delicious - and am in the process of growing kale and tomatoes from seed. Whenever I don't know what to do next, I watch your videos and off i go with new found confidence. Really great!!
So pleased to hear that Norma, thank you. :-)
First year gardening, this year I grew Shirley(most successful so far), Gardener’s Gold(first tomato is orange right now)and Tiny Tim
Some good choices of varieties there. I can recommend 'Moneymaker' and 'Gardener's Delight' as classics for growing outdoors.
Ah I have just found you and LOVE your knowledge and enthusiasm. Love growing your own, some great tips here.my new fave channel 😃
Cheers Andi - so pleased you're enjoying the videos. :-)
Great video. Straight to the point. Thank you.
Thanx so much for this fantastic info.
Much appreciated.
Great clear advice my friend thank you
I love your videos. Thank you.
Ty for the video, very helpful
Have you been on tv before ?
Your presenting skills are amazing!!!
Subbing to your channel as I have recently started a vegetable patch.
I need as much info as possible, and so far your channel has been the most helpful!
Thanks dude !!!
Thanks so much for the sub! Only been on TV briefly. Enjoy the character and variety of CZcams more I reckon. 😃
Despite moving house this summer I managed to get my best-ever tomato harvest. It wasn't much really but enough to pick to ripen finished inside. I live in Norway and have only a small plastic greenhouse, after all. Next year I'll start the plants earlier and give them plenty of time to ripen outside.
Thanks, brill video and info.
I get most of my heirlooms from an Amish greenhouse. Trying a few new ones this year: beef heart, mint cart, and meaty yellow - all supposed to be low acid varieties. Also growing big beef and my favorite sungold cherry tomatoes.
Good explanation of all the different verities.
Thank you so much for everything. Love from New Hampshire
Cheers so much - and to you! :)
I’m growing Tigeralla Seedling they are about 7cm tall, after watching your video I am going to plant into own individual pots as per your advice
Great video, very informative and to the point
stumbled across this channel! wow brilliant, just what I needed ahead of another growing season which I hope is better than my last attempt
Welcome to the channel! :-)
What a wonderful video. Thank you
Well, this video is very helpful for me 😊👩🌾 I see now I can make my tomatoes get stronger than just germinating them in one pot all at the same time. That’s easy 😊I like your idea of putting the seeds in a small pot and germinate them when hey have two leaves, that is excellent 👍👍👩🌾 thank you so much Ben.
Great video!
I got my tomatoes from planting sliced tomatoes in soil; I thought that hack was fake but it does work.
Nice work!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Great video...I started chocolate and yellow cherry tomato seeds in late Jan/early Feb and just placed an order for Tiny Tim dwarf tomato seeds.
Nice video very well explained....
Amish Paste are a large (almost fist-sized) paste tomato that is good for fresh eating...it is listed on the Slow Food Ark of Taste list of some of the best-tasting heritage varieties that they are trying to save. I've never been a huge tomato fan, but I love these--and if they can survive the "benign neglect" they get in my garden, they'll for sure survive yours!
That sounds like a great all-rounder.
One of the best videos I have seen on how to grow tomatoes, great tutorial, interesting information, thanks very much.
You're very welcome - thanks for watching. :-)
Great video !😊
This year I have 4 varieties, 2 are Black Vernissage and Russian Purple. The other two are from seeds I saved 3 years ago! I didn't label the seeds except for "Purple Delicious" and "Yummy Red", so who knows? I'll have some surprises! All four germinated beautifully, 12 of each plant, so I'm gifting a lot of tomatoes this year :)
I just found your channel but I quickly subscribed because you state fatcs, and continue to educate me every with watch through of your videos. Cheers from America!
Cheers for the sub Carlos!
The best gardening site on you tube. My garden is bopping
Yey!
Great video, thanks!
Great Video and great information
it's peaceful watching growing
Some very useful information regarding tomato growing. I'm sure it will help me during lockdown. A 👍🏻s up from me & also subscribed
Top man Nick!
I decided to only grow three varieties this year... Early Girl, German Johnson, and Tiny Tim. They've all done well for me in previous years.
I love your videos.
Thank you just starting my tomatoes first timexx
Hope they grow well for you. Enjoy! :-)
Garden Peach! Never see them anywhere for sale. Too soft to travel but OH So Yum!
So useful!
Thank you so much 👍💞
I had some old soil in a plant pot mix rabbit droppings and straw and now eat cherry tomatoes.
Brilliant , I learnt , EXACTLY what I needed to know about the Tom's, thank you so much,. I live in Barry s.wales
Cheers for watching Mark. Good luck with this season's toms.
This guy has been a god send to my allotment .
Cheers matey!
Not sure if it's a quirky type but we are growing a champagne cherry tomato this coming season. First time trying these.
Hmm - they sound delicious!
Thanks for the tips!
I'm going with all bush varieties this year with lots of cherry, plum and grape types in a few colors. All containers btw... I'm tired of growing bigguns or climbers, my health keeps me from doing a lot of work.
Moneymaker, Alicante, Sungold, San Marzano and Big Mama
I'm growing ’Galahad’ and ’Five-Star’ tomatoes this year from seed.
Growing addicted to this channel
Nice one Steve! :-)
Very nice garden plants
Thanks for these videos that are really helpful 😊 we are looking to grow Feo de Riogordo, Moneymaker, Maskotka and Yellow Tumbling Toms. Our first year so really excited 😁
Oh wow - your first year. How exciting!
@@GrowVeg thanks been watching lots of your videos and also use the planner and journal too 🙂
Very helpfull video
Hi, my mum has been growing tomatoes for the last few years from seed, this year she treated herself to 5-10 young seedlings they are growing well.Its a big effort watering them daily.
Hope she gets a great crop from them. :-)
Excellent..thanks!
I bought a packet of mixed Heirloom tomato seeds and expect to have Bonny Best (red), Brandywine Pink (pink), Golden Sunburst (yellow), Black Krim (purple), Evergreen (green) and Djena Lee's Golden Girl (orange). I think I have 20 plants under grow lights upstairs - I may have gone a little crazy! Thank you for your videos as I always find helpful tips, especially the ones that brought me success at starting from seeds this year!
You can never go crazy enough with tomatoes!
Good video. Great smile and attitude ;)
Cheers matey!
great video
I'm in NZ - and my favourite is Scorsby Dwarf as a determinate, with Russian Red or some Beefsteak type as an indeterminate with a couple of cherry-types for the grandkids. 50 plants is about right, although this season it's 70+ - if you have space you can never have enough tomatoes ! (although Black Krim are great as well)
Totally agree, you can never have enough tomatoes. :-)
I have 12 varieties with a total of 120 plants this year. Last year I had 19 varieties with over 200 plants that sold out by the end of June. This year, however, sales will be hard due to the lockdown so I scaled back a bit. I only keep about 12-14 plants for market growing but again, I've had to readjust my sales goals for the season. I also ended up with blight for the first time last fall when it rained for 3 weeks almost constantly in September. I lost everything still on the vine. Sigh. The life of a gardener.
It's a tough life sometimes!
I wanted to congratulate you on using both the imperial and metric systems. I'm now almost fluent in both as I follow a lot of UK and US channels, but I remember when this was not the case: I had to stop the videos and convert the measurements somewhere in order to fully understand the message. This will help your international audience I hope it grows, you deserve it! P.S. I really like your app - looking forward to the new version.
Thanks for that Robert, it's appreciated. I've learned a lot about Fahrenheit since doing these videos!
UK officially uses metric but since they created imperial lots still use it
You are doing well 😊
ty for your helpful videos...this year i will be growing a cherry tomato call PINK BUMBLE BEE. the photo shows a striped tomato and it is said to have a sweet flavor. started from seed and have just transplanted into a large pot outside. keeping fingers crossed as this is the first time i have ever grown a tomato plant from seed to a thriving plant. will utilize your growing tips from this video.
Sounds great!
Well i must we put the tomatoe seeds in the nursey then in the ground well of couse we use sticks to prop them wet them on a dailyand that itwe do use too much potting and all the other stuff that you put in most of your plants because we go direct earth and we get produce but i must say i learnt a lot frrom you because you take your time and explain🖐😍
