I'm burn't out for this season. lol
The main reason why I'm afraid of over-watering tomatoes is that it reduces the fruits' flavour. Especially if you grow them single stem. I had one year where I gave too much water and even my Cherokee Purples and Brandywines tasted like NOTHING – just water. But some of the best tomatoes I ever tasted were from plants that looked half-dead, because they had little water. And for me fruit flavour is what it's all about. Also, other people (correctly) are afraid of fruit split. So I think tomatoes (and melons/watermelons) are the exception – there is such a thing as over-watering with these fruits.
But the best advice that I heard from an old man is "stick your finger in the ground… if it's moist, don't water, but if it's dry, water!" Simple, but works!
Hey Gary. I have a question. I'm in Baltimore city and I want to grow fruit trees. I have 2 peaches, a nectarine and a fig that I want to espalier. But I'm in the city… medium yard, alleys, hands reaching in yard taking my berries… I want to get an expert in my area to let me know if I'm OK in my tree and garden placement in ground out back. I also have berry bushes and apple trees in pots out front… lol
Amazing. Its still 100+ still here. Worst summer garden I have ever had. Only items that survived were Early Girl & sungold tomatoes (all others died including my tomatilos), i got only 7 zucchinis (last year I filled two freezers full). My bell peppers are producing but the aphids will not leave them alone even with hitting them with organic pesticide, planted 2 dozen pumpkins and most died. All my pole beans grew all the way up and over my trellis and then died. Next year bush beans. Got about 12. Herbs and Basil loving life. Strawberries doing great. Lemon tree died…blueberries got torched and now my pomegranate bush is dying. Im absolutely beside myself. Maybe I have been crop dusted. I am just in shock.
Hi! Great video as usual. I am in the Frederick County, Virginia and have a few raised beds and a small compost pile. Am I right in thinking not to compost material that is infested with insects? Some of my Russian kale had white flies and harlequin beetles and I did not compost that. What are your thoughts?
I have to say it, because you've helped me a lot with this: When things go awry in the garden, or not as we imagined or planned,try not to take it personally. Nature does what it's designed to do. Grasshoppers (major ugh, btw) gotta eat – and they didn't know you were hoping to have that lettuce yourself. I finally had a few grape clusters on my young vines and the squirrels stripped me clean. I didn't even get to taste one. Did they plot and plan that? Prolly not. 😉 Next year, I'll know better though. Great ramble Mr. P – thank you.
I can relate to the burnout. My container garden was needed to be water often. Glad for cooler weather.
You need some Bone Sauce on that Peach tree. Great deer repellent!
I've finally caught my 2nd wind. I'm glad I started seeds when I was burnt out. Brassicas taste so much better in fall
Oh how lovely would 62* be!! We were 98 heat index of 115 today… I am SO ready for the cool weather. My garden is parched. Even with 70% shade cloth everything is sad.
I can't find a water solvable fertilizer at local garden centers
I have so many dead plants on my patio right now lol…this TX heat zapped my enthusiasm for gardening big time, but I got my 2nd wind this weekend and I've planted more okra, zucchini, dwarf tomatoes and a Kaho melon. It's still hot, but I'm hoping cooler weather comes our way soon…
Any tips on how to deal with earwigs? I find them all over my cabbages, inside my tomatillos, etc
I'm encouraged to see Gary's garden struggling because mine is suffering bad in 6b PA… Well, indeed every season is different. This year sucked for us. Tomorrow I'll be reinvigorated to help the old plants and start fall crops!
Happy gardening.
I know this is off subject, but did you ever do any voice acting?
Thanks for your encouragement! I found using white insect netting on my plants seems to spook the deer, but I had a touch of flu and didn't get them covered one night. I came out the next day and there was only one green tomato left on my 10 broken plants. My husband did cover my beautiful pepper plants so I have a nice crop of those. We harvested 6 red bell peppers tonight. I found white insect netting seems to help with the deer. I hear if they are the white tail deer, tying old white socks on the fence helps too. They think it is another herd of deer.
Hit that like button or the garden gods will look down upon you with anger.
Even with 40% shade cloth I've hardly gotten any tomatoes at all this year–our temps have been over 100 for about 90% of the summer. I think through late June and all of July we only had 3 days under 100, though we've finally dropped into the consistent 90s starting about 3 days ago and supposedly going for at least the next week. We even had 89 yesterday! So I'm hoping my tomatoes and cucumbers and winter squash will finally start setting fruit.
Gary…I’m SO disappointed. I got some (very few) tomatoes earlier, but now all I fave are big, lush plants, with no tomatoes; lots of blossoms. What am I doing wrong?
