@@Fatimasroots having a list doesn't stop people from watching. I sought after the list so that I could screenshot it for but, still watched the entire video.
I usually go into winter with a few tomato plants. They can grow fast, so I continually clip and propagate. One plant can become dozens by the time it's time to transplant outdoors. It works well for me.
I have been watching your food forest grow for several years now (including the episodes before that.) I just noticed your subscriber count today. I want to say thank you for not changing your cannel or content like some of the other youtubers have. You have not tried to sell or advertise things that you don't use and you haven't started telling us about the new 10 acre property that you bought. THANK YOU. I watch your channel to see how this food forest is coming along. It is relatable to what many of us are trying to do. Again Thank you.
Best way for any tomatoes, peppers, and chilis (all solanides) - is strip their leaves off - forcing dormancy, cutting back the major branches, and cover completely (DARK !) and keep in a cool and dark root cellar or storage area. You already have them growing, and don't need to regrow from seed and save all that starting growing time. Put the plants back out in the Spring, and uncover allowing them to get sunlight, and they will re-leaf and have greater growing options.
Yes! I pruned most of my tomatoes down to a stump the last 2 weeks. I expect them to make new green shoots in March or April depending on the weather. I use Regalia to stop diseases. Unfortunately, the holiday crop was eaten by mice in 2023. I had to pick the small green ones that were left in January due to heavy rain which would split the fruit. Rodent control is a big problem for me, partially due to bad compost management. socal coastal.
@@kellysardella928 well chicken scratches and s**t and cat holes and cat s**t does have a few redeeming values. But then having ducks in the garden eating up all the bugs - leaving the plants (greenery alone) - while keeping the grass/greenery-eating geese out of the garden, and the chickens which destroy the majority of compost and other features of the garden are less so. Maybe the cat is a mouser and a go-pher, and a shrew-er, and a (ground and tree) squirrel-er and a (ground and tre) chipmunk-er, ... and then a cat in the garden, vineyard, and orchard will be a great asset - and leave the snakes alone to do their own bugs and critter patrolling.

My hubby and I had a 2024 gardening planning date just yesterday and I was looking for a video JUST like this on your channel. You read my mind. Thanks James & Tuck! 🩵🩵
I have done onion and leeks in seed trays, they have sprouted and are looking very good so in a few weeks they will go into the ground! It will be a great year for our crops. UK.
Absolutely loved the insights on starting peppers and asparagus from seeds in February! The tips on using a heating mat for optimal germination temperatures and the benefits of selecting male asparagus plants for better productivity were especially enlightening.
It’s my first year growing anything from seed, growing any veggies, and Im in a tiny rented patio. Your channel gave me confidence to try container gardening and winter sowing!
@@cindyspiess9963yes but I have not seen a lot of people on TH-cam teaching about gardening that are in New Jersey. It is helpful to have someone in the same zone.
James you are amazing! I'm in Chicagoland Illinois . Just started growing a little more seriously the last few years. Such great advice for us that have shorter growing seasons. I used to take it personally that these vegetables didn't want to grow well here. Love the advice to improve the success rate. Thanks for everything you are doing to inspire people to empower themselves. Love to Tuck!
Hi Brian, I’ve been growing tomatoes since I was about 19 or 20 in my apartment. There is a space that I asked my manager and he let me put tomatoes. But anyway, my parents always had a garden and I tried your Kellogg’s breakfast tomatoes last year and I love them. There’s also one called Virginia suites that I really liked and I did try your red solo cup idea and I love it.
❤❤ HI Tuck❤❤ I planted my peppers a few days ago. My basil and rosemary are up and under lights. I also planted celery and some geraniums. I have all brassicas out in winter jugs. I am excited. Our snow is melted. It's raining today.
This year's weather has been unpredictable at best. I don't count on the calendar for starting plants, I am cautious and will gauge my starting time by the sunlight and mean temperature. What we used to call "normal" isn't any more.
Thank you! First person I’ve heard exactly what I’ve been thinking and experiencing. This weather is really out of whack and it’s changing how we do things. Last spring was too hot and they say 3+ degrees warmer this spring. Hope the late freeze this year doesn’t kill more fruit because it advanced too much from the heat again.
Yes . The soil temperature is key . I messed up last spring and didn't wait for warmer temps. The seeds didn't germinate. Time to plan for a small green house or a cold frame.
@@karenpigage2818 I have built mine over this winter period. I have most of my seeds germinate and have put my broad beans into the field already. Onions, tomatoes, gem squash, butternut squash all germinating. I am however covering the seed trays with fleece.
I know what you mean and I'm with you, but I can't get past how you just said "I'm not going by the international metric of measurement of our planets position around the sun this year, I'm just going to go off of my position around the sun." 😂
I surface sow mine, cover them with a single layer of tissue paper, and mist it on. I've found tobacco does better in high nitrogen soil right from the start, similar to foxgloves. You can use a plastic spoon to thin them and plant them out. I've also had better luck growing flowering tobacco than rustic tobacco, though that's probably because the rustic tobacco seeds were sourced from a very different climate from my own.
Remember that at the end of the warm season last year your peppers were bending over a lot from the huge peppers you grew. Perhaps its a good idea to plan on using some support for your container peppers and eggplants.
This has gotten me excited to start planting! Gotta break out the mini-greenhouse on the rear deck. Last spring I bought several Korean peppers and chives from the Korean supermarket, and they were incredibly prolific. I was snacking on these long green chili peppers (not spicy) all summer. The chives went into soups, ramens etc. all summer and well into the fall! Will definitely buy these starts again. For $2.99/plant, well worth it.
This was a really good video for me as a novice gardener. This season I plan to get some peppers and some pumpkins for my first ever attempt at a garden. Thanks!
Good things from Jersey, the Garden State! I'm from Paramus; former celery farm country, due to super dark suitable soil for it. Now it's malls and no more celery growing. 😒 Cheers James! 👍
I'm near Paramus, lets just say I can see Giants Stadium from where I live! Our soil up north definitely tends to be dark and wonderful, we're blessed.
Ive got my 1 and 2 year old bell peppers cut back in pots in greenhouse. They were planted from red peppers from the store's seeds and include 1 orange and 1 yellow. So much fun. I had trouble with rodents chewing my stems last year but the plants healed over and did well so i kept em to have tougher older stems next year.
I'm in the same zone, 7A, in mid northern mid virginia. Coming from Phoenix, I have no clue how to grow here. Just purchased a vivosun mat on amazon, for the next 4 hours there's one on sale with the controller, fyi, 7.30p 2.3.24 now. I've never heard or seen ground cherries, that will be new. I'm new to the country on 3 acres that's never had anything growing on it in 20 yrs. ack! I'm ready to hire you to come make sense of here. :)
@@cynthiafisher9907 ohmygosh. the japanese beetles were horrendous in 23. the first summer here, 22, just a few. last summer, they ate everything. crape myrtle, to roses. they didn't bother the rosemary or other fragrant herbs.
Hi James and Tuck! James thank you for sharing the different tools and gardening items plus the seed information. I’ve learned so much for you. I purchased some of the items from your site and super excited to get started!! Take care!!
❤❤❤for Tuck, love seeing the Little Boss!!!🥰 If Tuck says it's time to start peppers I'm starting my peppers. Great reminder. 🙌 High fives to James and cam operator! ❤❤❤
Tuck is adorable! I love that he likes to eat vegetables. My nneighbors dog who comes over to visit doesn't like vegetables, so it's nice to see Tuck eat those fresh veggies.
Yes!. Every year they decimate my plants. I rarely hear others talk about this problem! I might try buckets this year on the deck instead of out in the garden.
I live in western Canada. At this point we have 4 feet of frozen ground in my garden. I am in zone 4A. I am thanking you though as i have to get my act in gear soon as well.
Gardening season has officially begun!!!!

Umbellifers, brassicas, perennials from seed, and slow growing nightshades. Hope I have enough room on my grow shelf.
