Dude, Donald, you Rock! I only hope I have as good a relationship with my Daughter and Son’s in laws…. BTW, yep, I planted mine deep like that this year since I did actuallly watch this video earlier this year.
Got a video I posting tonight on my web site “Big Tomato Cages” that will show the results. Won’t be on YouTube till next week so visit the site……… Donald
It wouldn’t hurt to toss the bottom half of the peat pot into the bottom of the hole.And IMHO it would be better to bury the plant deeper, so most of that stem is underground where it will grow roots all along the length of it. You could even pinch off all of the leaves except the top couple.
I agree about planting the tomatoes as deep as possible. Thanks…….. Donald
Why did she pinch the flower off of the top?
Too small to have tomatoes forming on it IMO……. Donald
You want the plant to direct it’s energy at growing and rooting not fruit production..
One thing that I have always heard was to leave the first set of leaves on the plant and bury them when you transplant them to the garden. Those first set of leaves will take root and provide a stronger root system for the tomato plant.
What ever you fell comfortable with is the right way for you……. Donald
actually, the whole stem will start sprouting roots,, some people recommend burying up to 80 percent of the plant..
Sadly several of them have a flaw that I cannot fix and do not know what is causing it (like a little chip). Some will go to Etsy and one of the ‘Garden in my Heart’ ones will go up here next week as an “I heart FF” freebie
Either the plant is not getting enough water or the soil they are planted in is not supplying necessary needs (it could be too alkaline or basic), or they need a little more shade during the heated hours when they lose moisture.
Plants will produce all they can, but if they can't support more than their own leaves with the water they are getting then they will produce sparingly.
Check and see if the leaves are yellowing or browning, then you'll be able to cross check that with a horticultural book.. Good Luck!

Broccoli is a pretty good bang for your buck.
The National Trust’s look-but-don’t-touch mantra is out. Now it wants to open up its land and houses to local people, be it for school plays, dressing up, camping or vegetable plots. And it’s all starting in a newly acquired pile in Northumberland A few minutes’ drive from Newcastle central station, at the end of a mile-long, tree-lined avenue, the National Trust’s newest acquisition rises dramatically from sweeping lawns against a ragged Northumbrian sky. Designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, architect of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard, Seaton Delaval Hall was completed in 1731 and, though badly damaged by fire in 1822, retains all its stark splendour. In the view of most experts, it is probably the finest surviving example of the English Baroque. Acquired days before Christmas, it should by rights be shut up for the next 18 months or so while it gets the National Trust treatment: an exhaustive plan of works prepared and executed; contents (including ancient family portraits of…
I just threw out a whole batch of quinoa, and I’m not that bad a cook. Best tips and advice on mastering this staple?
I’m a rookie to quinoa and figured it would work similarly to rice, so I tried using my rice cooker with a batch today. I just dumped the resulting goopy, gelatinous soapy-tasting, horrid smelling mess into the compost. This is the first EPIC FAIL I’ve had at cooking anything in, well, a very long time.
I read about the saponin content, so before I cooked it, I rinsed the raw seed quite thoroughly through a sieve this morning. As an aside, I don’t like the water waste, so maybe some tips on facilitating this process, too.
Please share your best quinoa tips, tricks and recipes. Couple of modifiers:
– no raw tomatoes (cooked or sundried is okay)
– no meat, poultry or seafood ingredients (eggs and dairy are fine)
– mint and/or mushrooms are likely not going to go over well (I can try)
Thanks!
yes, you can, but usually kimchi pancake is more delicious without any other ingredients for me.
Water the plant before an expected cold snap, then cover it with a piece of fabric. I bought a bolt of felt to use for covering plants. It's usually 72" wide, so it'll cover fairly tall plants. .
can i say something real quick? i love everything bagels. with vegetable cream cheese.
