Thank you. I will watch the video and give it a try. Really appreciate all your videos. I’ve learned so much from your channel. I’m in CA 9b & have very similar heat issues as you so your info I always find especially helpful for my area. Thank you guys for all your hard work. 😊God bless.
❤ I prune all the way up from the bottom to the 1st fruit cluster. If the main stem forks, I keep the one that forms a bloom cluster first and prune off the other.
I started doing a modified Florida weave if you will. I put in my t-posts and runs probably sick strings horizontal. Instead of weaving around I use the tomato clips every 6-8” of vertical growth. Easier and when the season is over just unclip em
I grow indeterminates in cages made from 5' high wire mesh. I put strong posts in the ground on both ends of the row and run a wire between the posts, threading it through the top of each cage in the row. I don't have to stake them down that way. I mulch the entire row before putting the cages on. As far as training I remove all suckers below the first blooms. Within the cage I remove entire leaves or part of them to maintain air flow. As shoots grow out the sides of the cage, I prune them back to the first bloom cluster. As they grow out the top, I allow them to flop over the cages and grow down the sides to the ground. That's usually when we get our first frost. I lose about a fourth of the plants before frost, usually from root problems. I spray them primarily with chlorothalonil(Bravo) and copper fungicides. Otherwise, I would probably have 100% fatalities from leaf spots, anthracnose, and early and late blight.
I have cages made from concrete wire. Recently I bought some fence wire from Tractor Supply. Its about 200 bucks for 330 ft. I have it on both sides of my Jet Stars and I also use it for trellis for cucumbers and other plants. I like to be basically through with tomatoes and not keep tying over and over.
You are about 3 weeks to a month ahead of my growing zone but great advice. I have a little trouble with shad but have one area where I get about 8.5 of light and with the hot humid climate in mid summer, I still end up with a decent crop every year. We are in a drought here too. Love the accent and hope you have great luck this year too.
Nice maters We have our first fruits set here in Oklahoma and thanks to Agrothrive gen purpose fert they’re tgriving. Thanks for turning my attention to this product👍
Wow and that is a LOT of twin. Put on our wish list and to be ordered by tomorrow. Thank You VERY much for the quick reply. Enjoy the new baby girl and may the family have a blessed weekend!
Thanks! Yeah a box of that twine will usually last me several years. The box will fall apart before I use all the twine in it. lol But a good investment just to have around the garden.
Another great video as usual. I’ve only been gardening a couple of years and I felt like my tomatoes were a little behind. After watching I think I’m good. I’m a couple weeks behind you and have started see a lot more blossoms. Now if the rain would go away so I don’t start seeing a lot of disease 😢
My tomatoes past the cattle panels, now i have problem with armyworms never had that problem last year. Been raining few days straight here in south Georgia thomas county gonna spray some BT Saturday morning.
More great content! I'm wondering why you're not using your stick when doing the Florida Weave? Especially on those peppers where you had to bend down.
We've been in a drought for a good 2 years here in Eastern Nebraska may has bee 25 hundreds of rain I take my 2 gallon plastic pots an cut bottoms out put about 3 inches in soil putting soil in bucket then I can find any cut worms to leave 2 to 3 inches up so I can water in pot I've had roots over 12inches deep they follow the water an saves on water an doesn't water weeds much either soil seems hydrophobic until it's soaked plants are looking good anyway
Had the same thing eating on my late planting of peppers (didn't touch the early's) I pruned off all the munched on leaves and spot fed some 20=20=20 to those particular peppers to make them grow out of the damage quickly, (plus greened them up a bit more) now back to the agrothrive. Seemed like the bug damage was only on the least green plants in my case. Trying my best to go all season without spraying anything, hoping it will bring in more "beneficial" pests that will eat the bad ones.
Travis, can you please show how you use your agrothrive with a spray nozzle when hand watering. I bought the brass injector like you showed in the greenhouse and can't get it to work. I'd love to fertilize my raised beds by hand watering. I bought the agrothrive that you show. 😊
In my garden the Celibrity is the best looking anyway in my garden. It's loaded with no deformed fruit. Also have Rutgers which are deformed. Then the second best is Burpees best. Just glad I got something. I fail on tomatoes every year. Enjoy you channel.
Another good video Thank You. We are considering trying out the Florida Weave on our Pinto Beans this year. May I ask and where are you finding your string at, Thank You!
I'm not a fan of the single string trellis method. I tried it last year and it was just so windy that everything just kept whipping around. The tomato plants grew to about five feet and got pretty roughed up. I do like the Florida weave.
First time that I can remember my peppers being eaten by tiny critters, I sprayed them with some pyrethrin and Neem oil with a little dish soap for mixing the oil. I will have to move several of my peppers because I put them to close to the tomatoes and they get shaded out. I'm sorry you haven't had rain, we've had rain almost every day, today was cloudy all day but no rain yet. How are your potatoes doing, I've already had to dig my Baltic Rose because they got sick and were dying. It's new soil that never had a nightshade in it. I didn't get a huge harvest or huge potatoes, but dead plants don't grow anything more.
Could you please share what the injector looks like and how it works with your handheld nozzle? I’d love to figure out an easier way to use my Agrothrive than lugging a bunch of watering cans around.
You can use a hose end mixer/sprayer like they sell at the box for Miracle Grow application. Dilute your Agrothrive for the proper dosage and then dilute that in half again to avoid clogging. Eazy peazey though it gives you a foliar application rather than a sub-surface drip.
I have several brussels sprouts in the garden. The plants look great but not much sprout formation. I have a few that have sprouts but the rest are so tiny. Should I pull these and make room for other plants or leave them a little longer. I'm in zone 8 in Alabama. I garden in raised beds as well. Thank you for all the great gardening information.
What are your thoughts of ever using beneficial nematodes with the plots? Reason was, cause I don't know when it comes to inground. Them few peppers as soon as I saw them I was like nematodes I'm ain't even trying to figure them out lol. Couple times I've had some.crazy thing going on as was worried about over treating my beds with a soil drench or spray more. Then I did nematodes the lazy, in my opinion, but Percent intsa fix if it was a root issue.
I've never tried adding beneficial nematodes. But the mustard cover crop in the cooler months works great to suppress the harmful nematodes. We have several videos on that.
I remember one time you mention about the red snapper tomatoes and I just wondering how big they really get off hand are they between a softball an baseball and I am thinking about growing them next year
I had someone explain to me that different plants like to be fertilized at different levels in their root systems. The person that was explaining this was someone that was talking about trees and bonsai that he makes. In summary, some like to be fertilized at the bottom of the root and others like at the top of the soil. In particular, he was looking at trees with deeper tap roots and ones that are more like fine meshes. I have always added a handful of fert deep in the hole when I planted tomoatos thinking they would get it and use it. However, I am slowly finding that a handful doesn't really seem to matter and they seem to do even better if I am just feeding from the top. So I wondering if that has anything to do with your watering and fert the top of the hills.
Yes, generally, the larger the plant is, the deeper it's roots go. When you fertilize a tree you put the fertilizer deeper into the ground so the shallow rooted plants around the tree don't take it and use it for themselves. Something like a tomato is typically shallow rooted, depending on how deep the gardener plants it, and fertilizing from the surface down is more effective, especially as long as there is little weed pressure. As the nutrients decompose and become soluble, they filter down into the soil when it rains or you water.
man curly top hit my beans and tomato's bad this year. I had to restart both. complete wipeout. Was so bad it looked like herbicide damage but I live in the woods and aint no way I could get drift.
Aphids are usually pretty easy to control with an organic product like horticultural oil. Just be careful spraying it if it's really hot outside. It can burn the plants.
I used to use the clips, but then found just wrapping the string around the main stem worked just as well and is a lot easier. The clips seem to get fragile and aren't reusable year to year.
I found that the clear clips don't last very long either. I recently got some of these brown clips (amzn.to/42RROpD) and they seem much better. I do like your idea though!
What do you recommend for calcium deficiency in your tomatoes and zucchini plants what can you use to save your plants zucchini plants have yellowing on end of leaves am thinking it may be blossom end rot or lack of calcium
I'd recommend doing a soil test first to see if you actually have low calcium levels in your soil. Often times it's an issue of the plant not being able to get the calcium, not necessarily a lack of calcium in the soil.
With the forecasted switch to El Nino, do you factor that change into how/what you'll be growing? My area in Socal is projected to be cooler than average, so Im delaying my summer cover crop of cowpeas in favor of growing more tomatoes.
If you are having issues with the drip tape not watering the upper part of the tomato roots, why do you bury the tape? I have always kept the tape at ground level and just mulch on top of it. Being in Eastern NC, the soil is basically sand and there is not a lot of transfer of water up from drip tape. I have also found the same to be true with raised beds. I actually changed my tape out this year to 15 mil irritech that has a psi rating of over 30 psi. With this tape, I can kind of flood the soil and let the water drip/spread down. I am getting about .7 gpm off of each emitter that is spaced at six inches at 25 psi.
It's really only an issue with these indeterminates that are hilled, and only an issue when it gets really dry. We like the tape buried because it's out of the way and stays in place much better.
@@LazyDogFarm I gotcha. Have you done a side by side of hilling them vs not? It kind of sounds like the hilling is producing roots in an area that the plant is not getting what it wants. Maybe the plant is thinking that those surface roots are the main feeders?! Maybe the plant would put more energy underneath the initial planting line if there was no medium to grow more surface roots. If feeding organic, I don’t think the worms or beneficials would want to move up to an area that is drier and gets hotter (thinking about my worm bin). I am personally trying to foliar feed more this year. Each week, I fill my spray tank with a full strength recipe, spray, then top of my sprayer with water for the next day. It dilutes more each day, but that constant, little amount of fertilizer seems to help the plants. I don’t eat for two weeks at a time, but many times during that two week span. My Hoss Chandler strawberries (bought this fall) have twice the BRIX rating of the local farms’ chandler berries. They also last in the fridge for at least a week instead of a day or two.
Cannot buy red snapper seeds in the uk can buy from the USA but only large amount 50 seeds which is to many as I only have a small garden ,can you help in any way ,thank you
Are you Searching for Truth? Christ died for our sins, cause we are all sinners in need of Gods Grace to be FREE FROM the power of SIN and DEATH We ARE ALL SINNERS Romans 3:23-26 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Romans 3:10-12 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. The Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Faith Alone in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (God) to Forgive your Sins through His blood (By believing in this you have become a new creation in Christ, and have a promise you’ll be with the Lord in your death, but also have the Holy Spirit living in you forever as a guide for you). If you believe, from that moment on to eternity you are saved (No matter how much you struggle with sin after). Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. HELL Is Real Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. HELL IS A REAL LOCATION ALL NON CHRISTIANS WILL BE THERE Heaven or Hell? A PRAYER FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH “I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Christ died for my sins and rose three days later from the grave. Thank you for forgiving my sin on the cross. You alone Jesus is now why I have forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.” If you have prayed this with faith you are Forgiven and now in the Body of Christ. Welcome brother or sister. Remember saying a prayer does not save you, having Faith does in Jesus and what He did for you. I encourage you to find a Godly Bible believing church as well God Bless
I always perk up my ears and wag my tail when the topic is growing tomatoes. Mine won't hit the open garden for another week, but all are very stout and healthy in their step-ups. Both Toronjina and Turkey Creek show remarkable early vigor, outperforming their counterparts, Sun Gold and Italian Heirloom. I hope that it's not the Italian that's fizzled out with disease in your trials. I'm going to source out that b. amyloliquefaciens D747 that you're testing. In your shoes, I'd probably be hitting them with some liquid copper fungicide in rotation with that bacillus. Probably touching up those peppers with a round of Azera also. Great show, Addendum: No product labels online for Bug Hut products. Caveat emptor.
Super sweet 150 cherry tomato I planted last year, had 2 volunteers and those are now nearly dead but I have taken probably 3 bushels. A way down south. 300 miles south of Travis.

Usually just the ground around the plant. But you can use it as a foliar spray.

I remember one time you mention about the red snapper tomatoes and I just wondering how big they really get off hand are they between a softball an baseball and I am thinking about growing them next year
They're pretty decent size. Bigger than a baseball, and some are softball size or close to it.
I wonder if you put a small pulley and a 3-5 oz egg sinker on the up right tomato string would it auto adjust as the plant grows taller?
Johnny's Seeds sells these things called "Tomahooks" that are really nifty. They're pricey, but they look like they work very well.
I had someone explain to me that different plants like to be fertilized at different levels in their root systems. The person that was explaining this was someone that was talking about trees and bonsai that he makes. In summary, some like to be fertilized at the bottom of the root and others like at the top of the soil.

Yes, generally, the larger the plant is, the deeper it's roots go. When you fertilize a tree you put the fertilizer deeper into the ground so the shallow rooted plants around the tree don't take it and use it for themselves. Something like a tomato is typically shallow rooted, depending on how deep the gardener plants it, and fertilizing from the surface down is more effective, especially as long as there is little weed pressure. As the nutrients decompose and become soluble, they filter down into the soil when it rains or you water.

Why are my red snapper have leaves that curl up. I tried to keep up with water. What do you think.
Could be a nutrient deficiency, they need water, or just heat stress. Feed them well and water them well and see if that helps.
What do you use to keep aphids away? I thought you said in one of your videos but I can’t find it
Aphids are usually pretty easy to control with an organic product like horticultural oil. Just be careful spraying it if it's really hot outside. It can burn the plants.
Do you ever use shade cloth on any veggies?
I don't, but I could probably benefit from it in the summer months.
@@LazyDogFarm when my Swiss chard and pumpkins/cucumber wilt in the hot sun, is that a good time to start adding shade. They wilt now in May!

Not really. It usually means it's wetter and a little cooler here, which I don't mind.
Our peppers don't really take off still trying to learn and troubleshoot.
Hit 100F today for the 2nd time this year. Took a photo of the mercury-based thermometer. Down to the 70Fs in the middle of next week.
Ouch! We're cooling down next week as well.
I just lost my tomatoes to a freak freeze Weds night. My last frost date was suppose to be April 20Th 😡 I covered them…but they were severely damaged.

I am getting about .7 gpm off of each emitter that is spaced at six inches at 25 psi.
It's really only an issue with these indeterminates that are hilled, and only an issue when it gets really dry. We like the tape buried because it's out of the way and stays in place much better.
@@LazyDogFarm I gotcha. Have you done a side by side of hilling them vs not? It kind of sounds like the hilling is producing roots in an area that the plant is not getting what it wants. Maybe the plant is thinking that those surface roots are the main feeders?! Maybe the plant would put more energy underneath the initial planting line if there was no medium to grow more surface roots. If feeding organic, I don’t think the worms or beneficials would want to move up to an area that is drier and gets hotter (thinking about my worm bin).
I am personally trying to foliar feed more this year. Each week, I fill my spray tank with a full strength recipe, spray, then top of my sprayer with water for the next day. It dilutes more each day, but that constant, little amount of fertilizer seems to help the plants. I don’t eat for two weeks at a time, but many times during that two week span.
My Hoss Chandler strawberries (bought this fall) have twice the BRIX rating of the local farms’ chandler berries. They also last in the fridge for at least a week instead of a day or two.
where do you get that box of twine?
Right here: amzn.to/3MJF9Q0
@@LazyDogFarm thank you!
What type of insect does that damage to those pepper leaves ? I thought worms but what else leaves holes in the leaves like that ?
Not sure what it is, but Azera should take care of them. It's pretty broad-spectrum.
When you say pine straw do you mean pine needles ?
Yeah same thing. We call it pine straw down here.
Cannot buy red snapper seeds in the uk can buy from the USA but only large amount 50 seeds which is to many as I only have a small garden ,can you help in any way ,thank you
Not sure how you could get any over there.
@@LazyDogFarm thank you for replying ,I enjoy watching your videos.
i just put cattle panels on each side of tomato plant. not as much work.
How do you keep rabbits out of your ground level garden?
Cats and dogs.
Good information! Btw.. you got way skinny legs, LOL!
🙏
I grow 11 varieties of hot peppers and superhots. Less water is best for the peppers.
How do you control weeds you do not have one?
Cover crops, tarps, shallow cultivation -- lots of ways.
We focus on keeping the "weed seed bank" low in each plot. We do that with cover crops, tarps, and frequent, shallow cultivation.
Are you Searching for Truth?
Christ died for our sins, cause we are all sinners in need of Gods Grace to be FREE FROM the power of SIN and DEATH
We ARE ALL SINNERS
Romans 3:23-26
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 3:10-12
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
The Gospel
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Faith Alone in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (God) to Forgive your Sins through His blood (By believing in this you have become a new creation in Christ, and have a promise you’ll be with the Lord in your death, but also have the Holy Spirit living in you forever as a guide for you). If you believe, from that moment on to eternity you are saved (No matter how much you struggle with sin after).
Ephesians 1:13-14
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
HELL Is Real
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 24:51
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
HELL IS A REAL LOCATION
ALL NON CHRISTIANS WILL BE THERE
Heaven or Hell?
A PRAYER FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
“I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Christ died for my sins and rose three days later from the grave. Thank you for forgiving my sin on the cross. You alone Jesus is now why I have forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.”
If you have prayed this with faith you are Forgiven and now in the Body of Christ.
Welcome brother or sister. Remember saying a prayer does not save you, having Faith does in Jesus and what He did for you.
I encourage you to find a Godly Bible believing church as well
God Bless
I always perk up my ears and wag my tail when the topic is growing tomatoes. Mine won't hit the open garden for another week, but all are very stout and healthy in their step-ups. Both Toronjina and Turkey Creek show remarkable early vigor, outperforming their counterparts, Sun Gold and Italian Heirloom. I hope that it's not the Italian that's fizzled out with disease in your trials. I'm going to source out that b. amyloliquefaciens D747 that you're testing. In your shoes, I'd probably be hitting them with some liquid copper fungicide in rotation with that bacillus. Probably touching up those peppers with a round of Azera also. Great show,
Addendum: No product labels online for Bug Hut products. Caveat emptor.
Super sweet 150 cherry tomato I planted last year, had 2 volunteers and those are now nearly dead but I have taken probably 3 bushels. A way down south. 300 miles south of Travis.
