Dave's Garden: Gardening: Tomatoes

[Teddybearcop48]

Where may I find tomato seeds for the largest tomatoes ?

[e1x1t]

Excellent advice. Dave rules!

[88hummm]

Yummy tomatoes. People at octorama.com think  brandywine tastes the best.

[BarbaraMParis]

Very Informational

[MrHummingbirdgeek]

It's also worth getting a small bumblebee hive so your tomatoes can be pollinated. There's one for the amateur gardener called a Beepol hive.

[godkingRoss]

a good guide, and that really means something seen as i'm an amateur who's been searching for over 1/2 an hour for a start to finish guide that i actually understand.

cheers.

[nerissafabulous]

really great explanation, covers the whole process very well. one of the best vids i have seen about gardening.

[VividlyConquered]

Aw, it's unfortunate that you stopped making videos, I like your style.

[evalewis1]

Love it! Thanks!

[maslabud]

oh no, you fed inorganic veggies to your chickens.

[TheGardenMasterShow]

Hi Dave, Have you thought of looking at more current sustainable growing which allows you to grow year-round regardless of where you live? How about lowering overhead and producing your current production on one tenth the acreage. Not till, no weeds, no expensive equipment and bountiful harvest! I speak from forty years of experience. Come visit us Dave! I look forward to seeing you! The Garden Master and his Bucket Garden. TheGardenMaster com

[nicepandas]

[godkingRoss]

[Jazzycat47]

[Quasar502]

Helpful info. Thanks much.

[lucygreen71]

Thank you Dave .....very helpful!

[Praxxus55712]

Love the end where the chickens do a pirhana attack on the tomato. LOL

[drewsindiefilms]

Great video! You should check out my vid on how to grow a salsa garden in the responses^

[manzoorboy06]

Thank you very helpful.

[hamchadi]

Great video on growing tomatoes. I think it will help the gardener.I also have some videos for gardener.

Thanks.

[farmsteadgarden]

Great video

[jstrunck]

That's about the best use for store bought tomatoes!

[jacobh1995]

I had a tomato plant randomly grow in my front yard. Those were good tomatos. It didn't need any maitanence.

[MyCrackRock]

I didn't learn a thing!

[Praxxus55712]

Chickens will do the same thing if you drop your sandwich. :)

[fctchk]

The chickens died soon after eating the supermarket tomatoes

[kevinator133]

the since of reward you will get from takeing this from seed to plant is worth any small cost of elc, omg the tomatoes r awlsome..go grow some

[xxnoangelxx]

Thanks I have limited space but I am trying to start my tomatoes in doors this years with a grow lite.

All my tomatoes will be in large containers but thanks to people like you and youtube I am confident of a good harvest.

[bullittkid]

do u spend a lot of money on electricity with the grow lights?

[hpd707]

@bullittkid I use six 40-watt cool-white lamps, two per fixture. That's 240 watts. I can grow about fifteen robust seedlings to approximately 6 inches. I give the seedlings about 14 hours of light per day and they're ready in four or five weeks.

At 10 cents per kWh, I'm spending 2.4 cents per hour and 33.6 cents per day. Over 35 days this will cost $11.76. If I grow 15 plants, that's 78 cents per plant.

[fatturdburger]

@hpd707 you can do it much cheaper with much less watts.

[Praxxus55712]

Your tomatoes rot if left to touch the ground? What kind of infested poisonous soil do you have??? LOL

But seriously, tomatoes don't rot if let to touch the ground. I never have that problem.

[driverain2]

......LMAO.........

[nsapao4cc]

Hi Dave... it does not suprise me that you are a Gardener do you know why?

Because you're a weed.

[pepperjoe12]

Nice video Dave.  Grow Humongeous Tomatoes after you check out my videos.

[1superskunk]

Nice video but to start the seeds inside u don't need to put them under light u can just set them in a table near a window or something they really don't need light.

[blabityblabblab]

LOL i love the chickens at the end :D They are so cute!

[bilaczenko]

Dave SSSSsssHHhhhh ... everyone will now know the truth about home grown tomatoes being more tastier and having much more flavour and its true Dave once tasted theirs no turning back to super market tomatoes after eating home grown.Their are tomatoes and then theirs tomatoes, please reader find out for yourself. Kind Regards

[coquettetiquette]

Thank-you. I learned a lot.

[04mannixk]

i luv tomatoes soo much

i jst wana stick my willie in them

[pegobuilders]

Recession! If you have a garden, you can turn it into a profit. selling your fruits and vegetables

[CCNutella]

Our Dave on Youtube! Cool!

Count me in!

Dave's Garden members, say hi!

[mastergabo15]

really nice video man keep it up......does anyone know if i can plant the actual seeds from a tomatoe. since i live in mexico most of them are really natural and thats why i dont need a different species

[spyknife]

That guy looks like a murderer.

[Lambert95]

Wow Just brilliant tips but maybe he should be a bit less philosopheric and a bit more simple? Is that too much to ask or what I dont really mind because I just LOVE tomatoes I dont really care how fat or skinny, dark or light or juicy or dry after all a tomato is a tomato! Or is it?

[FirstQualityGear]

Very Nice Video.

[manzoor35]

very nice

[shantihhh]

Nice video, but your cages are too short for heirlooms! I use 5' to 6' high cages for my heirlooms.

For help growing the best tomatoes I suggest-

.yahoo groups TomatoMania

[marinatedchicken]

actually I just threw a seeds on my back garden and it's now growing

[KWalsh554]

FYI... if you live in Zone 10 like me, where you don't really get frost, you need to be careful about planting your tomatoes when it's too hot. I've heard that the plants do not fruit as well once the temperature is above a sustained 85ish degrees.

[badboy121986]

Nice!

[infestuation]

fake

[surname07]

Good Video!

I never planted a garden, could any of you help me find out what types of vegetables a person should have in a garden. Any and all information will be appreciated! Thanks

[KWalsh554]

Whatever vegetables you like to eat I guess. Some grow easier than others, especially in different climates. Around here melons grow like weeds (I had accidentally grew a patch of watermelons by spitting seeds off my pool deck one summer) , but they probably wouldn't up North. Check online to find out what "zone" your in, and any gardening website should give more detailed help.

[adapun1]

Good video. I would like to know how to trim the branches in August. I am in Zone 5.

[greenthumb3740]

How much does the rebar cost

[RamseyPhillip]

great Video!

[irishsid13]

I am growing awesome maters,but my cucumbers are coming out round!...what is that about?...and my watermelon's get going good then turn black on the end...anyone know why this is occuring and how to stop it?

[yellowgroove]

Good video, i posted a video response, i really need some advice on what to do. BTW, i rated this video 5 stars... good tips here.

[AJQuinteiro]

The new Food Safety Modernization Act will eventually outlaw private gardens. Soon only the giant multinational corporations will control all food and water!

Raise awareness on this so it never gets passed!

[13holywarriors]

Dave, I loved your video very much and I will try your tips on Tomatoes, but u did not explain what type of soil and when cut the branches off. Please someone suggest me.

[TheRocknrollChic]

Dave you rock.Always will =)

[WinterHaven]

Oh I love your webpage! Finally I found a dave's garden youtube! Cool!

[chri8067]

There goes your free range organic chickens.

[okiedragonlady2]

this is a great database for plant recognition too.

[jsphbjmn]

somethong keep eating holes in my tomatoes the second they ripen. HELP!

[utube123477]

I didn't know Daves Garden had videos.

[bonotee]

i know we're talking about gardening, but does anyone know how to grow a 'Croton Petra'? ALL insights will be appreciated.

[cycloneCJproducts]

copy and paste ?v=Q_tcGUTpjFM

[whyareyousooofat]

great video :)

[XxSuPeRHeR0xX]

Damn it,i didnt plant the plant that far in the ground.

Will it still grow good?

I keep the plants watered good and their good and straight. Plenty of sun but now im worried i didnt put it in the ground far enough. :(

[jimmy1time]

dude i did the same thing, me worried to! I planted mine the depth of the soil from the package they were in.

[torofighter]

trust me, your fine. My dad doesn't plant them that deep either, nor does he use a cage. He gets giant plants producing many tomatoes every year

[fireriver29]

Totally agree with veedubyu82 below. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[scottdaddy]

Oh my that tomato make those chickens turn red

[veedubyuh82]

YOU, sir, know what your talking about. your video is the ONLY one out there, that makes sense. no frills,no b/s, no retarded ideas. EXCELLENT advice. and those chickens are to die for. is it true,that if you feed a certain type of feed to the chickens, they WILL lay eggs WIHOUT a rooster??!! i'm interested in having eggs for breakfast, not 'chicks'----

[gnurph]

Hen's will lay eggs regardless if you have rooster or not, the only time you need a rooster is if you plan to hatch the eggs.

[DefconBravo]

@veedubyuh82 Chickens will always lay eggs, whether there is a rooster or not.

[damiencale]

Your Hot

[dpyrgiotis]

really cool stuff,, i totally agree with you,, and thanks for your video!

[WHITETRASHDOLL]

Mmmmm Mmmmmm them girls love their maters lol

[EbolaV1rus]

I love your buff Orpington chickens! I used to have some, the hens are so gentle and sweet.

[greencust]

good clip

[Tidnull]

wow that tomato didnt even splatter!

[firedragon774]

[lovinfall]

This was a great video for those of us who are new to gardening! Thanks!

[MeSeeUTube]

[TuskAmerica]

[catdaz9911]

finally someone who has made things nice and simple to follow. many thanks

[yamaho5]

Thank you, you did great, and I think I will try growing some myself here in hot Oklahoma. Good presentation, I'll bet your Dad is proud of you.

[PureDeception500]

I planted 3 tomato plants that I bought from Home Depot. I bought them a little big and already they have flowers, having been in the ground for less than two weeks. I also planted pepper plants, but they aren't doing so well.

[ValelxMama]

Do you cut the extra branches when you use the cage?

Thanks for the advises!!

[shortattentionspan1]

ha ha ha ... great video and I think your chickens liked the ending more than I did.

[HelmerandRawlins]

Very nice tips my friend. I normally buy started plants from the nursery but I think I have enough time this year to start my own indoors. Very inspiring video!

[swt1212]

Great tips! Thanks for the video
