We have spider mites on our tomatoes, plenty of them. It is on tomatoes that I planted from last season. What can I do or is it easier to pull them out not to effect the other plants in the raise bed?

Cool video, I just made a video of my family and I making homemade tomato sauce, I would be awesome if you can check it out :)

"Spank " your tomatoes........take a rolled up news paper and tap each plant.......its a fast and easy way to ensure a healthier producing plant!

If you are a Vegan and Animal lover, you can use organic fertilizer such as earth worm casting, worm juice, compost that you buy or make yourself, bat poop, and much more. Anyone who truly understand what organic gardening means will not recommend synthetic/ chemical fertilizers. It's not just how good your crops turned out to be, it's more like a community effort to put good thing in the soil and the underground water system. When it rains, chemicals flows to drains, to rivers, to ocean, which in turn, harm animals.

So, are you really a vegan and an animal lover for real? Just a thought.

Great and useful

This is my first year on growing tomatoes and they did not do very well. It seems I've over watered them since I noticed the leaves were curling up and they have lost most of it's leaves. My question is do you think it will recover it's leaves or should I just give up for this season, they are both determinant varieties and are in pots. Is it possible that I can save them for next year by overwintering them? They have some fruit and I'm waiting for them to ripen. They have retained some leaves on the top of the top but most have dried and died off. I live in 9b, Southern Ca. higher mountain area. Thanks for your videos, I've enjoyed learning about gardening.

Hey CC can you grow a dragonfruit?

I love the fact that you gave specific about watering .I have been fighting BER on my tomatoes all season long. I think I may have been over watering. Knowing that I can use a drip irrigation system for only 3 minutes will help me tremendous next year. my other problem has been a lot of flies in my garden and I use my back yard as my garden.it has been horrible for the kids any suggestions

Thank you for the vidoes! They are very helpful and motivating! I have a tomato hornworm infestation. Everyday I remove atleast 3 or 4 of them from my tomato plants. How do they spread and how do I prevent them from coming back?

Would aspirin be good to help stop potato blight?

Many thumbs up for this video. Very informative. I have to admit that this is the first year that I tried 2 techniques I heard about to keep away tomato blight, to make the tomatoes taste sweeter, and to have a better product altogether. At the beginning of planting, I added Epsom Salt in the soil -- wow, did I give the plants steroids?! Growth was incredible and resulting amount of tomatoes proved to be incredible too. Once the tomatoes were at a reasonable green size, I added Baking Soda to my watering and the result proved a MUCH sweeter tomato and the skin wasn't as tough as in past years. I recognize the differences only because I had grown the same types of tomatoes over a couple years.
My question is whether you have tried either Epsom Salt or Baking Soda and if you had beneficial results.
Many thanks for your Q&A video!

if I notice signs of blight, can I use aspirin to fix? or is it already too late once I see it?

what soil do you use in your garden? do you use seed starting mix or make your own soil for gardening and if so what do you use.
