Roots and Refuge Farm: Tips for Tomato Growing Success (How to prune, trellis, and support your tomato garden)



Hey ya’ll, I’m Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm

Welcome to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. We hope you’ll pull up a chair, grab some coffee and visit awhile.

There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that is exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart – to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Welcome to our journey, friend. I am so glad you’re here.

    We purchased a drip tape system this year. Got our fencing today for trellises. The chicken tractor is done and now I wait. 2 more weeks before I can put tomatoes and peppers out. 🍅🌶

    Love the little extra tip at the end of the end. So stinking' cute. Made me laugh out loud. Bless you, Jess. Love your channel!

    You all's videos are always such a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your years of experience. Here's to fat, juicy tomatos.

    I was just listening to the part of the video where Jess says to heavily mulch the tomatoes and you can use decomposting leaves. I have an abundance of western red cedar fronds. I keep hearing that they are too acidic to use for mulch or compost,,,, is this true?

    Jess I have been waiting for this video since you moved there- I learnt to grow Tomatoes 10 years ago from you but I think We all need a refresher every now & then – I am growing Paul Robeson this year & am having such fantastic success so far. I have failed previously. Thank you for this video as I really needed it. Cheers Denise- Australia

    Wow. The joy on her face while talking about tomatoes 🍅. I have definitely found my people. When I start talking about growing tomatoes or the different varieties I have started peoples faces just glaze over 😂

    Tomato Tar!! Caught that at the end there – for all that is good and holy do NOT touch your nose or eyes when you've got that stuff on your hands. It burns!! haha I knew most of this except I always forget to cut the water down to pick the toms at their best. This year I found a Green Zebra variety and a Siam table tomato at my local farmers market and garden store (respectively). VERY excited to try them this year!

    Why tie up a branch if you can just weave it through the mesh and let friction and future growth hold it up?

    thank you so much for the tips on tomatoes. after resolving to not having a garden this year (decision made after a bunch of tomato seeds were planted, but didn't seem to germinate)… it turns out I will be having one. A last ditch effort with the seeds I brought them in the house next to a window that gets lots of sun and they came up! so many of them! and… as it turns out…. some of the winter sown seeds decided to make a showing.

    I'm nervous and stressed out moving forward (juggling bumbling through figuring out gardening with new learning differences in tow and settling a chaotic house)… but with videos like this… I mean WOW!! so much information… all the way down to the encore tip!
