There’s definitely a method to our madness when growing tomatoes, and it’s not easy. We’ve already harvested hundreds of pounds of heirloom tomatoes and sold them at our market, and our indeterminate plants are continuing to stay healthy and continuing to produce. And one of the biggest reasons we grow using this tunnel method is to keep our Italian basil nice and healthy for a long season. These seeds were started in February, and it’s now mid August, and they’re thriving. This is something we have to do every week with our tomato plants. When we see any leaves that are browning or yellowing, we remove them. It’s been about a week and tomorrow I’m going to get out here and spend a few hours taking care of these plants. Now, this is something that must be done to keep the plants healthy. This is the time of year where both sides of our tomato plants are growing onto each other and creeping over to the other side. I want to show you how healthy these plants are. We’ve already harvested about four or five tomatoes off this one plant. Now, we have another one, two, three, four, and five that are ready to be picked. And once we harvest these, the clusters above will be ready to form as well. Once again, this is a great method to grow your indeterminate tomatoes if you just have a small farm or a homestead. Thanks for all your support.

I admire your lack of hornworms🥲 gotta get on top of my basil next year
I unfortunately made the switch halfway through the season. I had to untie all of my plants from the fence post because they started to grow a couple feet above the poles. It actually worked out pretty well. The cucumbers are coming up on the other side, but next year I'm going to be adding another panel for a total of 3.
The fact you can do this over a sidewalk for shade and also more growing space for the other plants within the beds is genius
I have a question. I'm new at gardening and I grow organic so no sprays except today I used neem oil but Everytime I pick my tomatoes they're either soft or get soft within a day and they will be just ready to be picked . Same with my lettuce I pick it and it wilts within 3 hours .my house is cold so idk what's going on. Maybe because it's just so hot here outside? How do you keep organic veggies good ?
