  2. Thank you so much for making this video! It has been very helpful. I have been following your advice on growing tomatoes and my plants look fantastic!! 😊

  3. As always, great information. I am so glad I found and follow your channel. I am in north Louisiana and we had a week of over 100 degree temps last week. Most of my flowering tomatoes lost all their blooms. Some are determinate and some indeterminate. Do I continue to let them grow and hope for another wave of flowers or prune off suckers to start for fall crop? Our weather has been feast or famine with horrible storms and then high temps way too early in the season. 🙁

  4. I’m so glad you showed the products you use , your plant are amazing .thank you , I learned a lot today 😊 !

  5. I never have fruit drop or pollination problems. Is that due to pollinators?

  6. My tomato plants are in raised beds surrounded by my perennial flower beds on both sides. Haven't had a problem with pollination.

  7. Only use Miracle gro a couple of times because it builds a lot of salt in your soil. I use it when a plant looks sick or deficient and when the plant first starts flowering. Other than that I'd stick with stuff like Tomato tone or Doctor earth's organics. Just speaking from experience.

  8. I will get to pruning this weekend! My Rosella Purple are so prolific and the clusters so huge, that they are splitting the vines because they are so heavy with fruit! When those plants are exhausted, the others should be ready to begin harvesting. Thanks for the great tips!

  9. That electric toothbrush thing is crazy! After years of hand "tickling" tomato flowers, a technique passed down from generations past, I bought an electric toothbrush off Amazon and got it today. I just tried it for the first time, copying your technique. As soon as I touched the first flower, almost the entire spray of flowers burst pollen in the air! When I finished with several plants, there was pollen all over the head of the toothbrush. Wow! Now I'm hoping I haven't just cross pollinated my heirlooms!

  10. You gave me an idea to use that bag with my strawberries. The squirrels or something have been eating up my Junebearing strawberries.

  11. i found an electric toothbrush of my kid & recycled it! from your last video about the electric toothbrush and now i am applying it! …
