- Hello everyone, today I'm planting heirloom tomatoes. I show you what soil amendments I'm using, and I talk about some of the differences between heirlooms and hybrid tomatoes. Thanks for watching. Here's a link to my video on getting ready for tomatoes.
• I'm planting my tomato...
Can’t wait to see some nice maters coming from those holes!
I hope so. Not planting around the walnut tree should give me a better idea of how well this works. Good to hear from you again.
That should be one heck of a happy 🍅
I hope so. Maybe this is the year I'll find a tomato that I enjoy eating, lol. Thanks for watching.
Hey guys, I MADE A MISTAKE, PLEASE READ THIS. In the video I said leggy plant are caused by too much light. I should have said they're caused by not enough light. Sorry for any confusion and thanks for watching.
Fyi scent control goes for worm castings as well armadillos will sniff out the castings and dig your plants up looking for worms to munch on
That is something I didn't know. I don't have any armadillos where I live, but it just goes to show that no matter where you are, there's always something wanting to mess with your garden. I learned something new today, thanks.
Essentially they are the same only because of years of back crossing you can plant heirloom seeds unlike hybrids that are not back crossed which will give you inconsistent off spring if you save your own seeds hybrids are not worth it
You're right, that's why I would like to find a tomato that I enjoy eating because I really want to try and save the seeds. Thanks for the comment. Good point.
Hybrid for me, heirlooms are a novelty but the hybrids are developed for a reason, a better tomato. If a heirloom was the greatest tomato ever in the history of mankind then why would anyone mess with success. 😊
These are the kind of discussions I want to have on my channel. I don't have anything against hybrids they were developed for more yields and better disease resistance, so they have more to sell in grocery stores with less loss. But heirloom varieties are not a novelty, at least how I view the definition of novelty. There's a reason they have been around as long as they have been. While they are more challenging than hybrids to grow, thinking about all the pioneers and settlers that were growing these varieties over 100 years ago is kind of exciting. I wish we could have had this discussion face to face because, unlike many things in our world today with gardening we can have a disagreement and listen to someone else's point of view without it turning into a fist fight. I enjoyed this, thank you very much, and thanks for watching.
Nothing wrong with heirlooms, I’ve tried a couple for fun but I didn’t care for the taste and I have limited garden space so I stick to varieties bred for my location.
I've grown hybrids in the past and they have been great for canning and salsa. And I am fortunate that I have the room to plant them. You make a good point about space when deciding what to plant. Thanks for sharing.
I belive fish meat is going to be extreme, fish bones and eggshells should be perfectly fine.
Leggy or elongated seedlings are most commonly found in plants that don't get enough sunlight.
You are absolutely correct. I said that completely backward. I try my best to give factual information and do not want to mislead anyone, but I make mistakes, so I will try to edit this or make a correction in the next video. Thanks for catching that. I have used fish parts many times and never hurt a plant. Thanks for commenting.
