FANTASTIC CLIFF! Really enjoyed you and Calikim today. You are the king of "Big". I can see that your wife is awesome in supporting and helping you. you. What a great team. I'm looking forward to more of your live stream chats.
Thank you very much Cliff for sharing your expertise! Nice to meet you Sandra! Thanks, Kim for doing this interview. I'm hoping to grow a few large tomato varieties this year. Even though they won't be giant, Cliff's tips will be helpful. Domingo, an 11 pound tomato?! WOW! Interesting wall of water product. I'll have to check out the prices. Thanks for the link! I hope Cliff sends you pictures of his bigger tomatoes once they've grown. Especially the true single tomatoes. Have a great Sunday!
Great Topic! Now I have a few more tomato varieties to try next year. Next year, Classic Beefsteak and Dad's Sunset will be returning to the garden. This year for cherry tomatoes, I m growing 1 Large Red Cherry, 1 Black Cherry, 1 Sunset Bumble Bee, 1 Super Sweet 100, and 2 Sun Gold. For large tomatoes, I am growing 2 Martino's Roma, 2 Celebrity F1, 2 Grand Marshall F1, 2 Thronburn's Terra-Cotta, 2 Bonny Best, 2 Dad's Sunset, and 2 Arkansas Traveler. I'm thinking that will be enough for two people, and I may have to share a few with friends and family.
Loved this, Kim and Jerry! Thank you, Cliff and Sandra, for introducing us to the Wall of Water and demonstrating how to use it. I was just looking it up this morning! Hmm. Should I buy or not buy? That is the question... 🤔My mouth was watering thinking about the slice of tomato bigger than the slice of bread! 😋
@@CliffWarren cliff where in Idaho are you? I live in Washington now but grew up in Coeur d’Alene. We used every trick in the book to extend the season and grew fabulous gardens there.
It must be incredibly amazing to visit the famous Calikim-Garden in person. And enjoying some sun and warmth in winter. ;-) I was happy to see Cliff and Sandra visiting you and Jerry and also seeing more details of the wall of water. I share Sandra's enthusiasm of growing flowers and I am looking forward to all you guy's pictures from this years growing season.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ranka. Thought it would be fun for everyone to see and meet Cliff/Sondra..seems he's getting a warm reception to the video.... Kim
This is a great video ! I hope I can find out where to get these protective tool for my tomatoes. This info about giant tomatoes made my mouth water 😊👍 I need some help learning how to prune tomatoes, I don’t understand how to identify the part to cut ? I will look on your videos 😘
Hi I have a friend here in Nashville TN that grows giant tomatoes and I was really hoping he would tell us what he uses in his soil? He stated that you have to make your soil rise? Is he referring to using yeast? My friend has massive tomato plants and he uses tomato paste which is very inexpensive and a packet of yeast with warm water. Then he lets it sit and pours it in a gallon watering can. I would like to know how he does his soil thanks
I understood it as a metaphor..like preparing your soil/beds in the fall (compost, fertilizer, tilled in cover crops, or whatever you use) and allowing it to rest undisturbed (rise) so the soil microbiology can establish itself. These beneficial microbes help with nitrogen fixation, nutrient bioavailability, increased crop yields, plant stress, pest and disease, and just overall soil and plant health. Disturbing the soil decreases microbial activity, and it takes time for it to reestablish (or rise).
@@CaliKim29 HI 😊I BUY PLANTS THAT ARE BABIES. ALREADY. I USUALLY GET THEM FROM. QVC!! There from up state, Pennsylvania around that area. I am more expensive than my regular gardener stores but they’re in much better condition. Do you sell plants that have started already or just seeds?
I hadn't watched this video before so glad to see Cliff and his wife Sondra! Maybe they'll be able to come out and visit or be on a garden tour video. I would love to see his garden. 😊
That was awesome Kim It was so great to see cliff and his wife on your video and the wall of water Is great that was so sweet of cliff to give you a wall of water
It’s Cliff 🙌😆🙌 How awesome! Cliff… I’m still holding one day you’ll find a pepper variety that you consider a giant 🌶️👀🙌 But seriously… so nice to see you and yours in person with Kim and CG 🙏 Always friendly and so helpful amigo… appreciate you a bunch 👍 And Kim and CG… always fun catching these special guest videos and of course all the rest 🙃
@@CaliKim29 All is well out here in Bajá-land my friends… enjoying the most rains we’ve seen out here in years and trying to stay warm as I do so 🌧️😆🌧️
Hi Stephanie, Once you have good weather I’d take the wall of water off. Eventually the plant needs to breathe and grow in the full sun. An interesting point, you don’t really need to harden off your plants when they go in the wall of water, but once you take it off… it’s best if the weather is very mild and allow the plant to acclimate slowly. Good question!
Thank you CK and CG for introducing us to Cliff and Sandra in this video! It is nice so nice to see who Cliff from the livestream is and so fun to see the wall of waters.
Our pleasure! That was fun, wasn't it? I'll be doing some videos on the 2 that Cliff/Sondra gave to us. You are welcome Tricia and thank you for being apart! Kim

Hey Cliff and Sandra, great to see you and thanks for the information!!
Thanks for watching, Laura! See you soon on the LS.
Another of those bags around the grow bag would insulate and keep the tomato plant's roots warm as well!
That's a great idea!
Great seeing you Cliff and Sondra
Amazing video guys!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Here, Here!
Great seeing you Cliff and Sondra.

We're going to have fun trying ours, too! You should, Connie, let's see what happens! Link to Wall of Waters in the video description. Kim

Bigger isn’t better with tomatoes. Momotaro is small but the best I’ve had.
Momotaro tomatoes are indeed highly regarded for their exceptional flavor!! Thanks! CK
Good morning from Australia good video to watch with my coffee
Good Morning, AUS! You had me at coffee.....Kim. Thanks, Theo -
Cliff What is your secret to growing the Giants?
Question of the day, for sure!!
Is part of the playback in slow motion for anyone else? Somewhere near the 7:37 mark
Nothing wrong on your end. I set the shutter speed too slow. CG
@@CaliKim29 no worries camera guy, you always do a fantastic job!
I just love this video ❤ thank you
Yah, Cliff has a way about him, doesn't he? CK
Good video, but I notice you had some very large plastic gages. Where did you get them?
Want Damingo tomatoes 🍅.
Yes, you can. Kim (that's all I use) What are you growing? Kim

I would love to see it, too! The pictures are even amazing!
Nice to meet you Cliff and Sandra. Thanks for a wonderful video and great tips. I have already saved the Amazon link to the wall of waters!
Let us know if you do it; I think it'll be fun trying it, too! Kim
Hi Cliff! Thanks for all the tips!
Giant vegetable grower?? 🤣 That's quite a niche.
You are right, it actually is!!
Interesting. I would think a giant tomato would be bland or flavorless. But they sound yummy.
Oh yes, scrumptious!!!
Can’t hear without closed captions……🥺🥺🥺
Sorry about that. Kim
Delectation of tomatoes is a great site for tomato seeds! I believe this is who he is talking about when he is talking about the Domingo tomato.
Appreciate the clarification, Danielle!
That was awesome Kim It was so great to see cliff and his wife on your video and the wall of water Is great that was so sweet of cliff to give you a wall of water
Glad you enjoyed it! We're going to have fun trying them out, Jackie!!! K
