Part 4 Week Three, Growing Tomatoes for Health and Wealth

[l1sas2b]

is it ok to plant differen types of tomatoes side by side

[cjbart2]

Yes, most of those varieties were hybrids and we don't save seeds. The fruit produced is genetically set by plant planted

[cjbart2]

Try not to spray plants directly, there is a real difference between "rain" and garden water

[cjbart2]

What is your fertilizer plan?

I water slow and long.

Weare now over 100 degrees daily so I water usually Early or evening, slow drip down the Furrows, and never "spray" your plants

Very interesting, growing up on a farm, where we raised over 360 acres of tomato's, I couldn't help but notice the difference in care between a garden and a farm. Your video was extremly interesting and informational.

Thanks, Mark

Yes, Mark there is a difference we Grew Tomatoes for Income also. But since we grew for the "local" market, it was still small compared to true Commercial Pole Tomato plantings. But we still concentrate on Yield and Return of Investment

Mr Mark Camaren,

I am honored with your Comment.

The Internet is waiting to see you.

We have enjoyed you in Film!

[cjbart2]

Thank you all for the Comments. I will get better with new equipment soon

Didn' you overdo pruning with the second plant?

[cjbart2]

All the plants except one survived the pruning. The one that didn't was because I pruned the Bud ding branch.

Thanks for the notice

[Paltarena]

What is Bud ding branch? And why removing the lowest set of flowers?

[cjbart2]

The budding branch is the shoot that will create blossom, the other branches are lateral and just produce leaves. One tries to balance enough leaves for sun protection but stress energy to the Budding terminals. I remove early blossom to establish a strong Infrastructure and root system. Once that is established let the flowers bloom

[trojanjksheik]

Did he say 30 to 50 pounds of tomatoes PER PLANT? Holy Moly!

Thank you for this wonderful video - this is just like what my Dad used to do and he grew so many tomatoes that the people who he gave them to had so many that they started to give them away!

Chuck!!!

Those videos are wonderful!! I've only had 1 time that I tried to grow tomatoes (didn't do so well) and now that I've seen your pruning technique I know what I didn't do right in that time!! This inspires me to try it again this year!

Thanks for putting the videos out there!

joyce.
