Always nice when the old guard are gracious enough to bless us with a lifetime of accumulated knowledge and experience. God bless you both!

You are probably the first tomato gardener person on YouTube that I have seen who says you don’t have to plant super deep. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🍅

50:19 in is my favorite moment. Not because I learned a lot, not because of the setting and the rain mist in background and not just because of the happy laughter and smiles but because it is God's work. Thanks for the tips. I'm implementing them. Look forward to this blessed season ahead. God's always present. We just need to open our hearts to Him.

My ah-ha moment is to not deep, deep plant the tomato because of the soil being cold the deeper in the garden. I always tried to grow my seedlings early so I could deep plant. This year my seedlings will be small! Can’t wait to see how they react to the warmer soil around the root ball. Thank you for that knowledge.

I graduated in 1977 with a degree in horticulture but only worked in the field for two years after graduating. I went into IT but getting ready for retirement and am returning to do vegetable gardening soon. It is great to hear you both use proper terminology and science in your videos. Real world experience added in is priceless and really appreciated. I am in Reno, NV also in the high desert and am fortunate to have found you both!

Okay. I got a whole lot of REAL information from this. Long video, but filled with proven information. Did not bury my poor tomato plants this year. Something always seemed a bit odd about that even if I had a good crop. I am working on my tomato plants right now so as instructed, I grabbed my oyster shell and blended it up while on pause, then my bone meal, then some kelp (organic) then grabbed my DE and added it to the pot and mixed, etc.. I grow in containers so I plan to add a lot less to the soil all at once, but to feed it more often as we move into warmer weather and as each plant lets me know it needs something. I love the last few seconds of the video more, or at least as much as any other part. Praying for other people, animals and our plants is always a good idea. Thank you for this wonderful video. I'll be calling you out if I find out I should have buried some eggs and bananas in my soil, but I doubt that is going to happen.

I have learned a lot once again. I’m one of those people who gets anxious to start my seedlings to early. This year I waited until this week April 6th to start them. I’ll be putting them out early May. I’m am anxious to see how they do this year. I have most of the amendments that you have shown. I’ll put them in soon. Thank you so much!

The way you have this video set up (context of information) is fantastic. Starting with "types" of tomatoes, so very important for planning. "Seed starting" when/why. "Hardening off" when/why. "Soil prep/amendments" how/why/what. The tips on straw and why you shouldn't till... thank you!!! "Transplanting" placing, how deep to plant to tips on trellising."Midseason amending". Tips of things not to do!!!! Thank you!!!

What a blessing and gift to the world y’all are 💞

Thank you for making this video. We are getting our vegetable garden going and tomatoes will be among them. We bought some heirloom tomatoes from an Amish man at a farmers market. They were the BEST tasting tomatoes we have ever eaten! So I fermented and saved the seeds. Planting some this season, and I am so excited to see what we get! I'll be posting our videos soon too.

I have learned much from this channel and cannot wait to try gardening this year! Thank you so much!

What a wealth of knowledge & experience....thanks for sharing!

Great advice! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. ❤

Great point about planting deep in the cold soil.

I’m a first time gardener. I’ve been overwhelmed with amount of videos & various ways on growing tomatoes. I watched one of your older videos to learn about lighting for seedlings. Found it so helpful. Grateful for the seasoned advice offered here. Thank you from Montana.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've learned so much and will have to make some modifications

Thank you for another inspiring video! I always learn a lot and I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge with us.

Great info! Thank you so much!❤
