As a gardener, I have so much respect for you when I see how healthy and prolific your tomato plants are. I get a good harvest too, but yours are off the charts!
Mine end up dying practically overnight
Thank you! You are kind, but don't be to hard on yourself have been doing it for over 11 years now
i had 20 plants this year, in a 20 foot row. early girl, better boy, marglobes, and a couple cherry tomatoes that came up from last year as volunteers. i'll say i had better production from the ''wild'' cherries that the purebloods i bought in pots. i don't think they were as sweet, but that's from memory. now the others had me eating 12 tomatoes a day for 2.5 months now. i got so many now i just let them rot on the vine. so you don't need the most possible if you get too many to eat from what you planted already. i know, i should can them, but that's a whole 'nother project. i am curious as to how much eating 12 fresh tomatoes everyday does for your blood chemistry/skin. in the past month 2 people commented on how good i look, i never heard that before from anyone.
@@jamesprigioni you really have the most beautiful tomatoes in any garden on youtube
Some grow bananas that way..,????
Thanks James. Bananas are one of the best foods to feed your soil. The microbiology in that soil is thriving and you're likely seeing the results of free castings. Your garden is amazing. Job well done as always.
How synchronistic! I love that you made this video. Thanks for including your furry friend. We love to see Tuck in the garden! Blessings to you & yours! 😀
I saw another gardener use bananas to help grow his tomato plants, so I have been using them for not only my tomato plants but also for peppers and squashes and cucumbers. I hope to get healthy prolific plants. We'll see what happens. Love to watch you and Tuck in the garden. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
how did the banana trick work for you?
@@bowhunterco6917 It wasn't as good as I expected. I just used the peals and ate the fruit.
I tried this in containers a few years back, and it worked like a charm as well. I want to stress that the potting soil was lightly refreshed from the previous season and had worms to help with the bananas decomposition.
Thanks for your posting, Dwight. After seeing James’s video, that was my question. I tried potting tomatoes this year for the first time. They did okay and I’m nit sure what the problem was. I’ll give the banana trick a try. Thank you (and James and Tuck!).
My bucket tomatoes didn’t produce like my raised bed tomatoes
Planted my tomatoes outside yesterday, added bananas at the bottom and last night the racoons dug them all out and had a feast 😂😂😂
Lolll
Rude raccoon!
Thanks. Now I don't have to comment that critters will prolly have a field day.
Yep
yeah i was thinking about that lol. i heard it was good to put an egg under a tomato plant; the raccoons dug up my plants to get at the egg. so i smashed the egg when i put it under my tomato plants; the raccoons dug up my tomato plants again... i do not put people food under my plants anymore.
Thanks James for sharing all your knowledge for us to learn. Give Tuck a rub and a hug. He’s awesome.
❤❤❤Love watching harvest his own veggies. Going to give this a try next season.
Good luck to you, the more the merrier especially for out young people grow up, we need to get them outside ❤️🍀
You live in NJ and buy bunker? Get a cast net and spend the day in Cape May! Or go when the blues are running. You could also net mackerel .We always heel blues into the dirt in front of our roses.
Thank you for your time
Everything you grow in your garden that i have seen is extremely impressive! Your growing tomato trees!!
Love it! Those tomatoes are looking great!!!!!!!
Thanks! Yeah, the plants grew fantastic!
I love watching your Wizardy my friend, thankyou, sending love from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
May Light, Love and Wisdom be with all 🙏💚🧙♂️
Last year I saw a video which suggested putting an egg under a tomato plant, and I did that. I did not see any difference between that plant and other plants. However, I will try putting a banana as you suggested next year.
That’s one hell of a tomato plant great job
Do you ever make sauce from cherry tomatoes? Or even just passata? It's a good way to use up all those beautiful tomatoes and it tastes incredible.
Great video. As an avid gardener I enjoy watching people try different things to help them grow better.
Q: Will just the banana peels be as effective as whole banana?
Would this technique work in containers as well? Or would the potassium be too concentrated? I’m guessing it all depends on what plants are planted? Thanks for a great video, James. ❤❤❤❤❤ for Tuck!
Sugar as well!!! Good thing you placed anti- fungal on the tomatoes 🍅 roots 😊
I put nana peels around my rose bushes. Beautiful , productive lovelies. 😄😊
Hi great video. You don't have to use the hole banana everything the plants need is in the peal. It's great for when you take cuttings and all sorts. Keep up great work
Beautifull tomatoes - looks like a corner of Paradise 😊
I love you Tuck!!! Want to see you more often!
I know right, Tuck is so cuddly ❤
I have used this trick for over 25 years. All the skins and bruised bananas go in. Initially it was for hellebores, which love it, but now go under fruit shrubs. BBC gardeners world did it.
I have just watched your video on tomato’s! It’s great! Thank you
Thought this was going to be one of those, "plant bananas and grow your own banana trees and harvest tons of bananas!" type of thing.. but you did so good with the click bait. I was getting ready to come in and laugh at this, but you do the exact same thing I do!!! I myself also bury banana peels, and egg shells underneath my tomatoes, peppers, and basically anything! it gives them so much nutritions, and potentials to grown and yield so much fruit/vegetables! I'm very impressed with the way you do your gardening, and also your content here on the youtubes. Well played (:
Loved the video & learned a lot. I always plant too late & end up with blight. I live in Cali & am going to look into finding tomatoes with less disease issues because tomatos are my favorite thing to grow because the difference between homegrown & store bought is massive! Btw, Tuck and my Yorkie Belle look a lot alike just from that pic their coloring is so similar with the silver & gold. My girl is getting up there and going blind & has horrible ear issues. She is my second yorkie & it is going to break my heart when she goes. I say she will be my last fur baby...but I say that with each one. It just hurts so bad to lose them. I hope you & Tuck have many years ahead of you in the garden. Thanks for the helpful info.💖🐾
WOW!!!! How great did that turn out!
❤️ just love seeing tuck
Tuck is so cute. What a trooper he is.
He’s so sweet ❤️ Love little Tuck!
I have had good luck with putting bananas, skins and all, in a blender with my egg shells and then dumping a half a cup of this mixture in a gallon of water and using it as a fertilizer. Also, instead of banana bread, try banana pudding or banana ice cream. Yummy!
Waw! Interesting & natural vitamins for tomato plants.Great idea and thank you for sharing .I was thinking like May be I should save all the peels from other vegetables ,instead of composting on another pile,it would be nice that we can use these peels to grow other plants too .And also good care and watering also helps .👍
it may have been the carbohydrates in the bananas promoting a helpful biofilm, that is, its a real and significant phenomena
James, if you had to pick one tomato purely for taste, what would it be? I'm just south of you in Delaware, so our climates are similar and one of my favorite foods is tomatoes. I grew a little San Marzano in a big pot on my front steps this year, and while it fruited well, it just doesn't have the real pungent flavor I expect from a plum tomato. If you've already done a video on tomato comparison, plz advise. Love and pets to Tuck.
Bananas are wonderful -- I bought about 20 at wally-world when they were 19 cents a pound ---- about 1 1/2 months later, after planing in the garden, I had a whole jungle come up complete with banana trees and vines and gorillas swinging on the vines thru the trees ----- like watching a Tarzan movie in real time ---- and OH! yeah my tomatoes grew fairly well also.
Awesome video😮😮
Wow I'm looking forward to trying this thanks for sharing!!!!!
Banana is rich in phosphorus and potassium, two of the main ingredients of a fertilizer.
Wow it is good South Africa
New Jersey tomatoes are amazing.
Wow so beautiful
It was a good video, it was the thumbnail that got me. Do you think this was Clickbait honest answer please 🙏 keep on gardening, so important for our children, especially with social media etc. 🧒
Only a moron would think he was planting bananas to grow banana trees so I think the thumbnail is fine.
Thank you!❤️❤️
James, thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤'s for Tuck
Thanks for the info 😊
Consiglio interessante James,lo proverò....thank you!!👍😃
Thanks for this brilliant idea
very interesting ill try it here in my little garden (philippines)❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤ Tucķ is adorable
I'm going to try it this season for a laugh as we are just coming into spring where I live and I've grown sweet 100's for years so I'll see how it goes compared to other years.
That is good info thanks man! When are you coming back to Florida?
Takes a lot longer for the banana to break down enough for your tomatoes to benefit from the nutrients. Maybe next year or the year after.
“Tastes like bananas”, you laugh, I bury Scup fish under my tomatoes and I swear they have a fishy aftertaste. 🍌 vs 🐟??? I’ll compare next season.
Smooches to Tuck!! 💋🐾❤
❤ for tucker
You never see the chickens anymore do you still have them James. Give Tuck a huge hug from me Please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The peels also have some potassium, so I think I'll try two peels per plant.
Thank you for sharing.
May I ask what did you use to get rid of the aphids in this video. I have aphids problem in some of my plants also. Thank you.
James uses neem oil for aphids 😊
When those spots start to apear that is when the bananas are in their best to be eaten.
Tuck is the best!!! ❤️
I think you can also just use the banana peels. That way you never have to waste a whole banana.
Great stuff. Thanks. Garden State Strong!!!
can start freezing n save for spring planting....
Wow that was a tuff decision using that banana! Lucky you talked it over and got permission! 😣
Cool, I’ll try that next year
Would have been cool to do one with and without 😊
You did should have kept watching before commenting lol
I was hoping for a banana tree to poke its leaves through the tomato plant… Fun experiment though!
You always grow good tomatoes don't need anything new 😮
Next season can you bury bananas at the three locations and see if all three are then equal. You also are not taking into account that you fed the worms with the bananas, so you do get the castings at the roots.
Did you plant both at the same time?? That would show the comparison!!
You're out in shorts and a t shirt. I'm also in Jersey and am cold in jeans and a long sleeved shirt!
❤❤❤❤ Love Tuck!!
I know you've said in another video, but I forgot...do youvuse determinate or indeterminate tomatoes for your tomato trees?
I'm always so impressed ; )
My weather in uk is getting to 2°c through the night I have a tomatoe plant in a plastic greenhouse with loads of green fruit on, can I bring it in doors or will the tomatoes still go red? I'm first time grower. Thank you.
James just try the skins and egg shells next time.
How do you keep birds from your tomatoes?
Tomatoes just grow. I just put them in the soil and here they are ABUNDANT too ABUNDANT so I preserve them in a jar for the years to come or simply give some of them to my neighbors and friends. The same for potatoes you plant one and you get so much out of it.
How do you get such large tomatoes? I grow super sweet 100 in large fabric pots and they are very healthy and pretty productive but all the tomatoes are super Small.
❤❤❤
Hello my love ❤❤
What did you put on the tomato roots to stop fungus?
What kine of wood chips did you use?
Can I grow those super sweet 100 in zone 10a
Yes...
Those bananas were broken down and completely processed in like less that 20 days guaranteed. My worm bin can finish a small pumpkin in 12 days 😂. Worms are machines
You look like my brother! Even sound like him❤.
Are the chickens gone?😊
Yeah, the last couple got killed by a hawk late last winter 😔
@@jamesprigioni Ohh, sorry to hear this, James. 😔
♒️💃 Will the banana help Blueberry 🫐 plants
My friend says that bananas kill a lot of bad stuff in us.
Did you use other fertilizer?
Only use the bananas you will not eat, and if you want to eat the banana, you can still save the banana peel, which will have potassium also. And if you can't use it right away, save it in a plastic bag in the freezer so you can use it at a later date, and do the same with all fruit or vegetable peel.
미국사람....미국사람..똑똑하십니다...😮😮😂😂😊
What type of mulch did you say you use?
Point number one. I tried that and the rats ate them. Point number two. My friend pointed out that banana trees are bread so that the fruit is seedless so you will not get a banana tree
I put banana peels in a jar of water and next day I water my plants with it.
😂. I thought you were going to say you grew a banana bush considering how great a gardener you were.
"me and tuck...' Tuck and I...
If I've gone bananas will that help my tomatoes?
Been burying my banana for years! Wouldn’t dare breaking it first though…
Hey james, why haven't you planted any banana in your food forest. Try it
I love all your video and ideas to grow tomatoes. You are the best what I see on you-tube. This spring I moved to KY from high desert of CA and did my first 2 raised beds to plant tomatoes. I tried to watch many of videos and can not find if you talked about rotation. Do we need to rotate plants (as everyone said) to avoid diseases?
