Unlock the power of organic soil biology! Great soil health tips from Dan! His knowledge of soil biology, nutrients and amendments will help you understand how to have the best organic garden soil preparation possible! Make the your soil the best it can be by focusing on feeding the soil microbial biology, instead of feeding your plants. The reason this works best is because the soil microbes themselves are what actually feeds your plant's root system through mycorrhizal symbiosis!

Thanks for the recommendations & detailed advice!
You're welcome! Glad you found it valuable!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful! I like your channel too, btw. Great job on bringing a product to the market! How is that going for you?
I’m glad shade cloth came up during the conversation. I started using 40% white 3 years ago and that was a game changer. Thank you for all the info and fun stories
Yeah, shade cloth helps so much! Glad you liked this episode!
I would love to buy some seeds from you! I think all of your videos are great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and reminders of Jesus!
Thanks for emailing me, I'll get seeds out soon.
Really like your videos and your relaxed style. Thank you
Glad you like them! 😊
I would be thrilled to buy some of your seeds!
I have several of those varieties that you listed! This year, I am doing a study of many oxheart and beefsteak tomatoes. Thanks for the information. ❤
You're welcome! Glad you like our content. Blessings!
Interested in some giant tomato seeds. Thank you for all of the informative tips!!
Yes you can email me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com and I can send you some.
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank you, email sent
I have never commented as often on any other channel - but you two are a delight to watch - you really produce terrific videos with great information. Two quick questions, I couldn't tell in your comment how far apart you set your tomato plants (it sounded to me like either 6 inches, or 16 inches - guess I do need to finally consider hearing aids). And, my wife also makes tomato soup from our end of year crop - would you share your tomato soup recipe? Always looking to improve on what we do. Thanks!
The tomato plants are spaced 16 inches apart ,now concerning the tomato soup recipe we'll try to do a video on it in the late summer I'm guessing. Thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate it much!
One of my favorite tomatoes is called Green Giant, we bought the seed from Baker Creek here in Missouri. It can be a little hard to tell when it is ripe, but the taste is amazing! My top favorites include Dr. Wychee, Black Brandywine, Carbon and Missouri Pink Love Apple. I use drip tape and have about 6000 square feet of garden. I use wood chips/compost and do the 'Back to Eden' method. No tilling, very few weeds, encourage good bugs, no pesticides, natural fertilizer, worm castings, compost with lots of fungal action, compost and worm casting tea helps. I enjoyed your videos, thanks for sharing your wisdom and the wonder of God's creation in your garden.
Great comment! Thank you for sharing! Happy gardening!
I would love some of your seeds! It’s my second year of seriously growing tomatoes and I’m trying to figure out which varieties are my favorite. I set up a trellis system and this year I’ll have drip irrigation. Please let me know how to order seeds. Thank you! Some much great knowledge on this channel. Just found you! I need to binge watch!
I wish you showed a photo of each tomato
Was just going to leave the same comment. Looks like I will have to write them all down and then research.
Happy subscriber here🎉 The love & respect you have for each other flows just as effortlessly as the timeless wisdom you share with us.
May i ask nust how do you store seeds? Do i leave them in the packets as received?
Welcome aboard! We store them in the freezer typically in ziploc bags. You can put your seed packets inside ziploc bags in the freezer. Blessings!
Great video guys I'm fairly new to gardening, 3rd year. I just joined the channel a few days ago. It's now June 7th and your videos are great, to the point. I'm going to email and hopefully get so tomatoes from you and try my luck at getting some Big Maters.
Thanks! Send us an email and we'll see what we can do! Take care!
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thanks for responding. I sent you a email.
We didn't get your email, if you don't mind, please try again. 😊 gardenhomesteadwoodwork@gmail.com
My favorites Tomatoes are Cherokee Purple, Mr. Stripey, The Brandywines, and Pineapple.
Thanks for sharing!
My led lights are 18,000 Lumins 6500 kelvin I have approximately 70,000 lumins in total. I have my lights around 18inches above the plants,maybe even 22 inches. New to this ,but I'm trying to learn everything and there is so much to learn
It'll pay off! Keep at it! 👍
Kelloggs Breakfast is my favorite
I live in Edmonton Alberta Csnada . Your videos are both insightful and generally easy to understand as well as down to earth. I have been trying to find extra large tomatoes to grow so I was wondering if you would be so kind as to anywhere I would be able to purchase these specials seed? It would be greatly appreciated Hope yo hear from you sometime at your earliest convenience. Thank you for the insightful information.
Thank You for sharing your gardening knowledge. In reference to the Lucid Gem, early in my growing experience I grew very leggy tomato seedlings, approximately 3 feet in red solo cups. I planted them in a trench about 8 inches deep with 1 third of the plant above ground, they performed rather well that year.
I would definitely love to try to grow a giant tomato. Biggest I ever grew was about 1.5 lbs at the most. To grow one huge one would be like a dream come true
You're in the raffle! I'll see if Dad can answer your question about the lights better than I can. Welcome to our channel!
Would love to try some of your large tomato seeds! Where can I go to get some?
Another great video i would be interested in some giant toms seeds
Ok you can contact me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
I'm in Colorado with a short growing period. Do you have any suggestions for a good faster growing tomato?
I would be interested in buying some seed. Enjoy watching your videos
☺️May I ask what variety or kinds of seeds?
Hey guys great video and hope all is well! Also thanks for the info and id be interested in buying some seeds if you've got some left.
Yes I have seeds still,message me on Facebook, Dan Sutherland
I just stumbled across yalls channel and love the content!! I would be interested in purchasing some of the seeds if they are still available.
Which variety?
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork I'm fairly new to gardening and would like to give any giant tomato a try. I'm totally open to recommendations. I live in zone 8a if you have a recommend variety.
Another very informative video. Thank you. I would love to be your next major competitor. I will give it my all if you would care to share some seeds.😊
Email me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
I live in Saskatchewan Canada. I’d love just a few Big Zac and Kellogg’s Breakfast if you have extras.
I would definitely be interested in buying some of your open pollinated seeds!
You can reach me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
Hello!❤ i would absolutely be interested in buying some seeds for the giants 🍅 i love growing and preserving tomatoes! Eating them is my favorite part. Yum!
You can go to Facebook and search Dan Sutherland and contact me through that avenue if you want to purchase seeds. Seeds are 1.00/seed with a minimum of 20 seeds plus 75 cents postage if in the USA otherwise its 1.75 international postage.
So don't email you for the seeds the way all else are instructed to do??? I'm confused. Thanks though.
I'm probably going to remove that email soon,but go ahead and email if it's still posted.
I would love to buy some tomato seeds from you.

Great information. I am interested is some large variety seeds. Let me know if that would be possible.
Sure that would be fine,you can email me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
Thank you for sharing your top varieties. Would it be possible to list the sources for these seeds? Have a blessed day.
Most come from johnnys seeds,totally tomatoes, and several from private growers
I would love to buy some Orange Oxheart. Please advise. Thanks.
I've got seeds,you can reach me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
I live in Michigan USA. Would love to buy your seeds. Will you ship here?
I don't know if I can ever get them here in Canada, never heard of them before I started watching your videos

Woukd love that. That would be amazing.!!! I LIVE IN Edmonton Alberta Canada. 12828-104street NW Edmonton Alberta Canada T5E 4N7. I will send you some money for them of course. Thank you so much!!!!

Good job! 😊
Hello sir, I would love some giant tomato seed pretty please!
You can reach me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
Hey Dan, I would like to buy some seeds from your Giants. I love growing giant vegetables in general I did grow the world record butternut squash this past year 131.4 pounds.
Email me at biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
For those of us that are limited to grow bags, is there some suggestions on how to handle this situation? I generally use 15 gallon grow bags with square cages that are 4/5 ft high and 15 inches square. I generally don't do too much sucker removal but not capable of having the trellis system that you have in your videos.
Your cage method is probably the next best thing if you can't rig up a trellis system, I'm sure there's a way you can do a trellis system even if your grow bags are on a deck,if you email me some pictures of your setup I could maybe recommend something. Biscuitridge2004@yahoo.com
@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork OK, just emailed you a picture. LeRoy
I haven't received any email yet
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork Gave it another try.
Nothing yet double check your spelling.
I actually feel like I am headed towards a failed Garden this year in North Dakota. We have had a strange Spring, struggling to get out of 45 degrees at night. I normal throw my seed in the ground and it just takes off, very Biblical like in my garden but it seems to be so called at night that the seeds are struggling to germinate. as of this writing I don't have 1 single seed that looks strong like it will survive. Not sure how to salvage what is left.
I put this on my facebook page.I said we should have a contest BIGGEST TOMATO by lbs.
Great idea! 👍
How can I get some seeds from you?
If you have Facebook you can look me up and message me , Dan Sutherland
Thank you for not charging money to leave a comment. Do any of you know what catalog, that sells seeds for a tomato called MEAT BREAKFAST, nearly seedless meaty, big yellow beefsteak. It is not 😅 12:55 kellogs breakfast
There's some sellers listed if you Google it, I think that there is better tasting and meatier varieties available, orange strawberry is one that comes to mind,any of the heart shaped tomatoes are usually much meatier and better tasting than the regular beefsteak type. I always grow orange strawberry and orange Russian 117 which are very good tasting tomatoes!
Did you try looking online? Google search is your friend to help you find things! 😀A 10 second google search for "tomato called meat breakfast" yielded this result as the very first search result. You can buy some of the meat breakfast seeds from them right now. 🙂

I don't like most sweet tomatoes.
