wow ! you got them tamatos wiered up for a hurricane! awsome. and very interesting with the plastic on top.like youre idea there. keep up the good growin.
With all that plastic up on top they catch a LOT of wind. This setup DOES help the blight situation but it doesn't prevent it. I probably get about 3 extra weeks out of my tomatoes with the plastic on top like this. I've since quit using this method because it's too much trouble for 3 extra weeks.
I sometimes do a character voice here on YouTube where I sound more like Red Green from the old TV show.
"getting lazy with tomatoes"...been there done that...in fact, I do it every year and the first storm never fails to blow them over. I guess I never lear. Enjoyed your video!
Sorry, I've only tried to grow them one time here in Western North Carolina and had no luck with them. I've tried cantalopes about 5 times and only had luck with them once. Unfortunately I can't remember the breed I planted that time.
Thanks:) I've always had good luck with peppers. The Yellowbells in the video are about as large as I've ever had. However There have been times in the past where the plants themselves reached nearly 5 ft. tall and had twice as many peppers. This season it looks like they'll only do about 3 to 3 1/2 feet.
That plot of peppers was planted close together in a bed which I guess measures about 10 ft. x 3 ft. After rototilling the soil I spread 2 bags (from Wal-Mart) of "organic humus and manure" I guess those were each 40 pound bags, and a few handfulls of 10-10-10 fertilizer on it and then used a spading fork to dig all that in to a depth of about 12-16 inches and mix the soil Continued
very well. (I tend to go overboard sometimes:) Then after the pepper plants had firmly established themselves I put some half rotted leaves near them for a mulch. Straw works just as well. You have to be carefull to not get leaves in direct contact with the plant stems or the stems will rot.
interesting project!

So how do you grow those peppers? How do you prepare your soil? Beautiful veggies!
