Enjoyed your video, I usually plant 30 plants with 15 different varieties, but always looking for new ones, getting ready to start seeds in a few weeks
So hard to narrow down the varieties!! This year I'm trying some new ones which I'm really excited about. I'll be talking about those varieties in March or April (can't remember my seed starting date for tomatoes off hand.)
Landon, Enjoyed your video! Your daughter is precious! I'm just curious how you fertilized your tomatoes. I'm big into bone meal, azomite, powdered eggshells, bagged chicken manure, and Trifecta. Trifecta is from MI Gardener, who you may know about. Just want to see if you're doing anything differently to add to my repertoire! Thanks Landon! John McHatton, California
Hello! Yes, I'm familiar with Trifecta, just haven't tried it yet. I'm really pretty basic when it comes to "fertilizer". These days, I just let my chickens free range on the garden once the season is over. They scrape around, eating any greens left over, devouring hidden insects, and manuring (i.e. fertilizing). I try to get them off a few months before I start to plant. After that, I wheelbarrow in and spread out my compost, composted leaves from our property, or composted wood chips that were dropped off earlier in the season. I cover that up with tarps until I'm ready to plant. I've used bone meal in the past, but don't really find that I need it with this system. I've also used fish emulsion, but I'd have to buy a whole heck of a lot with this size garden! So, I stick to bringing in my compost and spreading it around before I plant. Hope that helps!

I had some very large Amish Paste. Love them for the great flavor
Yes, totally agree!
My tomatoes came back on their own from seed in spring on their own a hundred plants strong!
Yes, volunteer tomatoes can be quite robust! I always find them around the garden.
New subscriber to your channel. Your garden looks great. ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 I can't wait to get it going again!

The best part of the video is that beautiful child
Ah, thank you. I think she's pretty special.
