God bless you, jon smith. That just saved me soooo much time!
Thank u
“It’s a patience issue.” - Thanks, I think that’s the main thing I needed to hear.
I’m in big trouble if patience is the problem 😆
Your discussions about the effects of heat (both in this video and others) answer a ton of questions for me. Living in Zone 10A, so much that's working in our gardens in late spring virtually stops and goes into reverse as the summer temperatures soar in baking, dry summer heat which is often above 95F for days at a time. The flowers of healthy cucumber plants disappear seemingly overnight and the plants get leathery and brittle; tomatoes stop growing and any fruit that sets gets smaller and more scarce (those that don't get sun scald); and seeds easily germinated in the ground in other growing seasons can't get started. This all makes sense. Thanks.
Your my go to guy. ! Gardening was so much harder years ago when I had to look it up in a book. My garden is thriving like never before and I owe it all to you☺️. Thank you
12 best minutes of gardening help iv ever got on youtube. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I need a love button this video and comments below answered all my today questions! Thank you for braving the heat today to help me before I started doing more than offering shade to my gardens
You have a nice way of explaining things...never thought of roots being like the digestive system but it makes sense...
Being from Indiana I love your videos. You experience the same seasons I do so I can relate so much better to what your saying than the many California or Southern gardeners. Not that they don't have good advice, but you have very relevant seasonal advice.
1. too hot
2. too much inorganic fertilizer (too much nitrogren => leaves, not fruit)
3. lack of water, cant uptake calcium
4. immature plant
5. calcium deficiency
Mary Fesliyan all fertilizers are inorganic. He is using he term inorganic incorrectly when he means to say non-organic. Inorganic= non carbon based. All fertilizers (N-K-Mg-Ca) are inorganic.
Thanks so much for summarising 😍
Thank you for the outline very useful.
How can I add calcium to my soil/plants?
@@Frankie_902 eggshells! Make sure you rinse them out good, let them dry then crush em up and put about a 1/2-1 cup around the plant and kinda mix it into the top soil
You answered ALL my questions, thanks so much!!! Very good!
I love ur video u explain everything so well thank u for taking time out of ur day!!!! Greatly appreciated.
Just watched this. For a couple of years in a row, my peppers specifically have not produced much fruit. I didn't want to make that mistake this year. Thank you! This was very helpful. Fingers crossed for this year.
Youre GREAT, your gardening advice is extreemly helpful
I have my alisa craigs that I got from you started in their little pots, I am so impressed with them, they all sprouted and looking healthy so far! I plan on amending my raised beds with some blood, fish and bone to make sure they get their nutrients before putting them in next month. I am so happy I bought my seeds from you, I look forward to a wonderful garden!
Thank you, you are so timely. Just what I needed to know right now 💕
Thanks for this vid! I was wondering about a few of my crops, because I know they get plenty of water and enough (organic) fertilizer, yet they stopped flowering despite being very prolific earlier in the season. Now I know it's this weeks-long insane heat we've been having, not a mistake on my part. :)
Thank you, Luke! Yet another great video.
I wish I had half your gardening knowledge Luke, thank you!!!
Thanks! I may not comment every time but I'm always enjoying the tip of the day from you. Many people are not like you and your family. Y'all are great role models. Before I found your channel and others, I thought that I was just some weird nerdy kid in the backyard playing in the garden lol. Now I realize there are many more Garden Gnomes out there... ;-)

Thanks for the info! You answered a lot of questions.
Hi Luke, I had a lot of flowers on my tomato plants especially cherry tomatoes (about 100 at least) this summer but 99% of the flowers dropped. It was a sad summer for me as I used to get hundreds of cherry tomatoes. I think it was the heat we had here in Toronto. The weather is cooling down a bit so I am starting to get some fruits.
I recently purchased my first bag of trifecta+ which I am very excited about because I heard it's a super food for the plants. Our growing season is ending soon, in about a month so I don't want to waste your trifecta+ on this year's plants, unless you think I should use it.
Thank you for all your videos. They are all very educational and especially fun to watch with Sindy and Geneva in them.
We were in Las Vegas and it was 105. It was hot but tolerable. Like walking in an oven. We came back to Michigan and it was 91 and it was horrible. We were sweating so much because of the humidity. I'd take 105 Vegas over 90 degree Michigan any day.
Thanks for the info. Love your vids. 🌱🌱🌱🌱
I've noticed the same thing! 90 in NH is unbearable due to the humidity... I'm dripping with sweat when working outside. I went on trips to Vegas and Riverside, CA. 105, very low humidity. I was comfortable the whole time. You might get a little wisp of sweat on your forehead.... but it evaporates immediately into the desert air.
That’s why in Arizona we say “it’s a dry heat!” It makes a huge difference. It’s actually tolerable.
Totally agree! In California foothills with dry heat that's hits 102 to 107 thru a lot of summer. I went to Houston and Florida when temps were in the high 80's with humidity, and it was intolerable! I'd take dry heat any day over those miserable experiences. Also, my plants flower GREAT in the high heat out here... the hotter the better! As a matter of fact, when it cools down to under 95 at night, yet remains above 95 during the day, those cooler nights slow my vegetables down a ton. Bring on the heat for a great harvest in my area🙂
I had the same thing happen after visiting my sister in Sacramento. When I left, at the beginning of May, it was 105 there. Later that month it got to 78 here in Ohio, and it was awful! It's the humidity! The air is heavier, and it takes more effort to breathe. I'd imagine the plants feel that as well.
I'm near Vegas. I'll take the dry heat any day too. I spent some time in Florida around September/October and I had to change my shirt 3x a day.
Spot on about the heat, I’m going to cut back my indeterminate tomatoes this weekend so I can get another harvest here in Las Vegas. My cucumbers are going crazy! Can’t wait for temps under 100
This was a very good and informative video. I found that my tomatoes started to flower again after the summer heatwave passed.
Good to know, I did not hear Luke say "be patient, they will recover" but he did not compost the lot either so I was going to ask but you answered. Thank you
Thank you! I love the video. Very informative and thorough.
Great video. Thanks. I know this has been addressed in various videos, BUT it would be great to get a video that focuses solely on watering frequently and feeding frequently. At least that would be a great help for me personally. Thanks as always
Awesome video! It explained why my tomatoes are not flowering.....TOO HOT in Texas....no tomatoes this Summer 2023....
Thanks again from Missouri. Always good information.
Make a lot of sense. Thanks for posting.
Great video on blossom end rot. One of my favorite recent videos.
Thanks for the great informations, great help😄thanks for sharing 😄
Excellent info as usual. Thanks!
awesome video Luke thanks for sharing that
Thank u so much for ur advice it gave me some kind of hope with my tomatoes.
Thank u..needed those answers Luke!!
We had that spell a couple of weeks ago that seems to have stunted the garden. I was afraid something had gone awry with the soil. Thank you for sharing this.
My tomatoes don't produce fruit because I have no bees. They have all been killed off by Roundup in my area. Therefore, If I want any fruit, I have to do the pollinating. I find this works best by vibrating the stems with an electric toothbrush very early in the morning when the pollen ripens. So you might want to include this reason the next time you talk about tomatoes. More and more gardeners in the USA do not have bee pollinators anymore.
Great video! A solution and tip is to use a shade cloth over your plants when it gets 90ﾟor above. In Colorado we are 5000' ft above sea level and our sun is extremely intense even at 85ﾟ. The solution is when your plants starts showing stress during high heat just cover it with a shade cloth. It works for me every time.
Yeah I'm in Los Angeles and our sun is crazy strong, even at 83-86 my plants are looking stressed.
YOU are the best! thanks for your knowledge!
Great advice.Thanks.
You look like Clark Kent . Lol in his free time he gardens and frees the world of crime! Thank you for all the information you give. My friends think I'm a green thumb but I learned everything from TH-camrs like you. You are responsible for many people increasing their yields. In a way you are feeding us knowledge, that feeds us. :P
Spread it brother. Great vid. Informative, helpful and to the point. A true rarity on TH-cam these days. Subbed ❤️
Thank you! I kept watering my squash and was confused why it was still limp. Now I know!
Nice video. Learned alot.
so helpful! Thanks
Thank you for this video and all the details! I have Sedum Autumn Charm and they are not blooming. I looked up so much but nothing I watched or read talks about the FACTS you presented. Now I know that my Autumn Charm was stressed from the Texas heat and probably drought although I watered(I may need to add more organic material to my soil mixture)! We had a week of 108°F not to mention consistently over 95...so it explains it!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the info it's just what I was looking for. Out of 35 yrs. I've never had this problem so I was stumped . Thank you
Awesome video. Keep them coming! :)
Excellent post your vdo, thank you very much.
Great video. My tomatoes are not flowing and i planted in late May. I am stumped but after your video I am going to try a free things. thank you....new sub❤🌱🍅
Good job explaining thank you
I was happy to see this video. All my plants are doing amazing except my peppers - well the plants are probably the biggest I've ever had but no fruit and very few flowers. I'm not sure why although it could be one of the reasons you mentioned. We had really hot dry two months June and July and I was not sure they would even make it. Once we started getting rain they took off but still very little blossoms. I'm leaning towards too much nitrogen from the compost I put down when I planted or the heat we've had. I picked my first two banana peppers today and hoping more blossoms will start to produce before the weather gets too cold.
Great, as always.
Dude I give you a 10 star rating this video was perfect for me thank you very much.
TQ for sharing info n tips abt other veges/plants too.
very informative! Thanks for that! :D
Nice pumpkins in the back ground. Was a very informative video.
you always have the best videos at the best time
No wonder ! My plants had to deal with extreme triple digits , here in California . Good to know
You're the best! Thank you
Absolutely loooved this exciting, informative video so much, I sub'd!👍now if I can just get my tomatoes to look like yours🍅! 😉
Yes you helped me. Thanks
Excellent vid
I just subscribed! Thank you.
Thanx,good to know pepper plants are dropping flowers&fruit.Heat advisory in Pa
Ty so much helpful
Cool video, thank you! I was wondering why my peppers weren't flowering earlier this season. But it was absurdly hot for 3 weeks, and it sounds like that may have been the reason. They're flowering nicely now that we're back to the high 80s
Thxu so much for these
Thank you!
very informative
The heat in Michigan has been awful lately yuck. Great video.
Simple truth😊✌️❤️ my Fl garden! I feel the weather comin around😊
Everything in my garden is flowering EXCEPT the Biquinho peppers, and the mini bell peppers. 😔
bees and wasps and butterflies! must self pollinate sometimes :D get that moisture in the ground with some healthy mulch.
@MiGardenerLuke: I really enjoyed your video of reasons why in your garden doesn't provide fruit nor dlowers. Recently moving into an apartment I never experienced Blossom Rot until this growing season. (I grow in containers now). Calcium deficiency makes sense. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for covering this issue. I am currently experiencing this with my tomato plants and trying to remedy the heat with shade cloth, provide calcium and cutting back on watering to see if anything changes. I tested my soil too and it had too much alkaline so about to remedy that with organic soil acidifier so hopefully I see results soon
Here in Minnesota it’s been 92% humidity 🥵
Good Video,Good Info.
Nice harvest!
Aw you changed your music, I always loved the old music, it reminded me of a gardening shows in the 80s.
Thank you
Very helpfulness! I'm a novice gardener (i.e. 3 months) in my new garden and have had a bit of trouble the last month or so. I am certain the heat (zone 10) 90-100 degrees in August was the primary issue. I'm just wondering if for next year, even with shading, I should just avoid summer growing. My plants were just scorched or stunted. Also, if a tomato plant just freezes in time and doesn't appear to be bouncing back like the other, should I pull it out? What I mean is that it has stopped doing anything and had 2 green fruits that have been hanging there, unchanged for 6 weeks.
Great video,! Just wondering if adding shade cloth over the plants would help. Here in North Texas, 85° - 90° comes early in the year....
When he said 80-85 degrees I went through shock it hits 100-115 or even 120 or 130!! Sometimes I will get some potting soil from a market and I will sprinkle 1/4 - 1 inch worth of potting soil over the base of the plant then water about and hour to two hours later and it normally really helps my plants it produces tons more fruit especially on the tomatoes during the hot season.
Are you adding miracle grow like soil? Do you add it during the really high heat and do you put it on top of your mulch?
Thank you i am taking my notes.lol the videos are so informative.take care with all the yucky heat advisory we are under one as well here in maryland.zone 7a
It has been really hot here in the Midwest this year--the 90s with a heat index of 100 or more. Yet, my tomatoes are flowering like crazy.
I use my water from my pet snapping turtle as the only fertilizer. He eats nothing but salmon worms grubs bugs. His dirty water makes plants grow like nothing I've ever seen.
I bet! Same idea as people who use a tilapia tank, etc. Watch your fingers :)
Oh that sounds like an awesome idea. You think dirty fish tank water may have the same effect?
@@falkinable absolutely rinse the filter in a bucket and dump I used to do that. Minerals in fish food alone are amazing for plants.
Always enjoy your information and videos this year I have really big healthy tomatoes but they fruit doesn't turn red .can you please help from Toronto ON
@@anastasiafrantzis7173 put a rotting tomato at the base of your plant it will make your other tomatoes ripe quick
The opening music is mu favorite!
thank you
my pole beans this year were growing well and were about 8 feet tall with lots of growth but not a blossom one.
i got some bone meal and sprinkled it around the soil and worked it in a bit. a couple weeks later i gave them another dose and now my beans are producing like crazy.
bone meal contains phosphorus and calcium and it is the lack of phosphorus that keeps plants from flowering. the calcium helps to prevent blossom end rot as well as keep the plants healthy.
6. PH level.
Great video as usual, thank you!
Ugh...I kept giving nutrients to my tomatoes because of blossom drop! Totally panicked. Now I know it’s the temps! it’s been consistently in the upper 90s for a couple weeks and isn’t ending anytime soon. Never seen this in my 6b zone before! My blossoms keep falling off my tomato that has blossoms...the rest are younger and just don’t have the blossoms growing. This crazy heat needs to end. Thanks Luke for all this critical info!
I’m currently growing contender bush beans in Florida (zone 10) temps lately have been mid to high 90’s with almost 100% humidity, however I keep them under constant shade cloth. Soil temp is around 80 degrees.
I just had to share this, first time growing this variety. I wanted to see how it would perform under intense heat, and it’s earning its name! There are tons of beans on these plants.
I also added worm castings to soil and mycorrhizal fungi.
I’m currently growing blue lake bush, yellow wax, and contender. Contender are the only ones putting out beans, the others are alive, but no beans.
@@PatienceLove wow that’s awesome, not just me then. Glad your having success
My crimson sweet watermelons are growing at a great speed and look very healthy but no flowers yet. Highs have been around 75 degrees here in beautiful San Diego. My cherry tomatoes are flowering, my sweet peas are flowering, and most of my strawberries are flowering. My plum tree is harvesting.
Good video
Luke, first, thank you for you channel, it is really informative and i always take a look when i can. Second, is a question about my fruit trees. Why my trees keep growing small branches from de roots,? they are a lot of thin branches that came from the soil around the tree, what can be making that happen?
Wow dude! How did you learn all that technical, nutrient stuff? Pretty awesome.
This was so helpful, since I moved from Florida to Colorado I have not been able to grow food. The plants grow but don't produce but we do hit those above 80° F summer months and it is way dryer here than FL . My tomatoes just sit there helping the carbon dioxide and oxygen system. I keep upgrading my composting methods and all but that has not helped, this information will be useful to fix my issues
I'm live in CO also and we get well above 80 in the summer...even now during spring we are almost hitting 80. With the unusually late frost and this hot spring, my plants are having a tough start for sure. Did your luck turn around with your plants last season?
Thanks
Shout out from Las Vegas and my non flowering chili plants where its 113 today 🔥😷
