Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤
Thank you. Interesting video. Im growing micro dwarfs. I cut plastc grocery bags into 2" strips and tie them around my plants. They're free. Soft and easy to use.
Way to go Tony! Enjoy.
Grats mr tony
Fuggetabout plastic clips! I'm still ripping t-shirts for ties(cotton) . No plastic in my garden!
James you are an excellent teacher ❤
It's fun watching your old videos. You've come a long way! So thankful for you and your way of teaching! ♥♥♥ for Guardian Angel Tuck. 🙂
I am so sorry you lost Tuck. We will miss Tuck too.❤
Congratulations Tony!!!
Just signed up for the bed on stilts contest ❤ Another idea would be a basket of things like your special fertiliser, microrhyzal powder, kaolin clay, copper spray?
Tuck baby
Awwww❤ look at tuck
I love the tomato clips. I've been using them ever since you've recommended them. I haven't had an issue with them drying out. Congrats Tony!!
Thanks so much James for giving back to your watchers! What a great give-away! Congrats to Tony!! I know you will be thrilled to use such a nice container! So jealous!! 🙂 I've used the clips, but found they were a little too heavy for the baby plants I was working with. I'll definitely use them as they grow stronger though. I've never heard of the sting leaning clip. Makes sense though. 🙂 Tomatoes are beautiful! I can taste them just looking at them! 🙂 Thanks James for all your energy and info! I've really enjoyed watching your videos!
Hey James, great trellising ideas. Brian from Next Level Gardening has been doing this for about 10 years. He also has a great video walking u thru the assembling of this trellis. Fantastic trellis ! Miss little Tuck🥰
What do you do with all those tomatoes?
Give away? A good set of grow lights for seed starting.
❤❤❤❤❤
I didn't know Tuck had passed either.😢😢 So sorry for your loss of your furbaby James.❤
Can you just prune the top of the tomato instead of lowering and leaning?
❤❤❤❤❤❤Tuck 🐶🌈🌈🌈2025
Congratulations Tony! Happy gardening. I would like a chance at that particular bed too.
Congrats Tony!
I did some seedling transplanting today. Excited to see these move outside soon. I made the mistake of not watering enough with the paper pots and some of my seedlings stalled in their growth. Hopefully now with more soil and better water retention, I will see them get going.
I love the clips! Thank you James!
Hi, James, I'm Vera. Always watching shows about gardening, not always, only for the last 1,5 years since we retired and moved to SC from NYC. So, now I have a backyard and I have fruit trees planted last year. They are too young to produce, except a peach tree. It did bloom this spring and had about 30 small fruits but I saw some jelly like substance on them. Panic attack!!! What to do??? Looked on internet and it says that cause of insects. I sprayed the tree but it still there. I'm a new gardener, I want to learn, but from a professional. Please, help, I need your advice what to use to fix the problem. Thank you!!! And I'm so sorry for loss of Tuck, i feel your pain, we had our Toby for 16 years, Yorkie, he was loved!!!! Hope to hear from you with advice. Loved your new huge property!!!
We grow tomatoes on 4' x16' cattle panels set on bricks: 3 T-posts, 3 bricks. This works well.
They grow best with 5 plants on each panel. 2 on one side, 3 on the other.
James, how tall are you?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ miss tuck
Congratulations Tony.

Congrats, Tony McManus !
