Love that picture in picture
Are you already dealing with tomato disease? What did you learn in this video that will help? Thanks for watching! -CaliKim & CameraGuy
Thank you Kim. I'll be doing all of this on my tomato plant.
As always, perfect timing. We had storms last night. I pruned off yellowing leaves and a few others for better air flow this morning. 👍🏼
Glad you made this video and released it early.
Hi kim what's the best insect to spray on my pepper plants and when I grow my tomato plants and when I do harvest my tomatoes I'm going to make me a tomato sandwic🍅🍅🍅🍅
Last year I planted 24 tomato plants. They ALL got this disease. I never got a single tomato. Plus the birds put holes in half of them. I have 3 1/2 acres of land in San Diego and I have given up gardening😢
This is a great video Kim! So far no disease yet! 🤞🏼. However, I did find my first “devil in a green suit”, aka the tomato hornworm yesterday. 😡. I am determined to win the battle this year!
I do have terrible spots and something going on with my bean leaves. It seems it’s every year that I’m dealing with spots on the leaves of my bean plants. I’m not sure if it’s the area of my garden, bugs, disease or what. I AM getting beans but the plants are UGLY!
Kim speaking of Disease I don,t mean to be a Downer with In the last month or two I have lost a hole lot of plants In my garden from the rain I had to Replace three Tomato plants And three Pepper plants that I started from seed I am glad I started Extras this season I put them In my hoop house to Protect them from so much rain I was Debating If I should of even Planted a garden this year but I was afraid I would miss all the Fresh home grown vegetables that I love to grow there just so Expensive in the grocery store so I took my Chances anyway I put In a Irrigation system and I can,t even use It mother Nature will just not let me Kim Pray that I don't lose my mind Over all this rain
Thank you for the helpful info Kim 💜. We have learned a lot from your channel 😉😘.
so what about the 'many' of us who absolutely love to garden and have to count on maintaining our humble garden without buying this and buying that and "if you want ABC then purchase DEF" trust me if I had endless productive money trees in my garden I would buy every remedy that seems to be pushed as the 'only remedy' but I garden because it is good for my soul, its my quiet space and i look forward to it, I also must depend on how my grandmother or great grandmother gardened when I was a child, before amazon, before a million different products to purchase to avoid issues or prevent issues.
Great tips.
I lost my Celebrity tomatoes to the wilt, but the Better Bush plants are still going strong. We've been eating red baseball-size tomatoes for 2 weeks now.
I think I'll skip this commercial
