Totally loved this comparison on some "new to me tomato varieties" I love trying new tomatoes with such great reviews

I grew red snapper in 2021 in northern Utah. It out preformed any tomato I’ve ever grown in the last 35 years I’ve had a garden. I live in Hooper Utah. We are famous for growing awesome tomatoes and onions. We have tomato days on the September 1st, people come from all over to buy tomatoes by the bushel.

Thanks for watching and supporting us

So many! 😃 And they look BEAUTIFUL!

Bella Rosa, Red Snapper, Sun Gold, are variety I keep hearing good reports on for Southern growers. An indeterminate one is Big Beef. The hot humid deep south just isn't ideal for tomatoes so it's important to plant as early as possible. Even if you must go out nightly to cover up plants because of potential frost. Second week of April if not earlier. By 4th of July you are pretty well finished even if blight hasn't got your plants yet they won't set fruit any longer. You can however start Fall tomatoes in August to harvest before Thanksgiving.

I'm gonna ditch strict Florida weave and try that large square netting. I'll weave them once and not complete the figure 8 support since that'll be impossible. However, they can grow into the holes easily and I won't have to make repeated weaves throughout the growing season. I hate doing that as I'm a commercial grower and have many things to do besides weaving.

I like that stake/string method!

I miss you you were great explaining gardening

Malcolm ! Lol !!! That's what you get from this good ole Georgia clay Loam with plenty o compost thrown in for good measure , and up the stakes to a 4 x4 10 footer . I'm from Merritt Island Fla and moved to NE Ga near Hartwell and this is the prettiest soil I've ever seen why on gods green earth aren't their more growers here . I'm having the time of my life ! I just moved here and got a late start but expect good things for the most part and am real excited to plant my Fall garden in August. Best Greens on the planet come from this soil ?

Thank you, very helpful.

I know this was a few years ago, but if you get your welder out there and weld 3 foot extensions of rebar on the T-post, those indeterminate s will continue to grow and produce some fine tomatoes. A friend of the family, when I was growing up, always had 10 foot tall tomatoes and he had to use a step ladder to get to the fruit. He told he he use to grow up to 15 foot plants. They were great tasting tomatoes, have no idea what varieties he was growing back then. All I remember they made awesome tomato and bologna sandwiches!

Each plant has 20 to 30 tomatoes on it and 3 times as many flower clusters coming on. I have been growing tomato plants here in Florida for 30 years and I have never been so impressed!

Bolt your t stakes together for indeterminates. It works pretty good.

I love watching and learning here. I also don’t prune my tomatoes, never have, but I DO put a nice open space between each plant. I feel like over the years of granular fertilizing I’ve caused a white fly problem last year. I’m thinking too much high dose fertilizer causes other problems later on, and I wonder how you felt about that. One tomato I grew up on is better boy, and I will always plant those, however, I like to do trials myself. So I’m very curious about the red snapper flavor. I really like tangy acidic tomatoes. Would you say red snapper is tangy, sweet or smoky? I have heard of some of the varieties you are growing.

I am north of you in Ga. All my tomato's are in 5 and 20 gallon buckets and are sitting on 4" pipe and get watered from the bottom up. Every year I plant about 20 to 30 tomato plants and it seems the heat gets them and they stop flowering. The cherry tomato plants do the best. Most of my plants get some flowers early and then thats it, they start drying out falling off. Do you have yours get flowers later on? Also when you use the drip irragation how do you keep the front of the row from getting all the fertilizer. I have used celeberties, romas, early girls, big boys, better boys, mortage lifters, cheokee purps, sun gold, one other florida variety.

@@gardeningwithhoss Yeah, I know but yours looked like they were pretty close and still doing really well and healthy. I was wondering if you did them close or if it was an optical illusion. Sometime things look one way on camera but are actually different in the field.

yes, ours are planted closer

How often do you water thru the drip tape and for how much time? 15 min, 1x a day for ex.... thanks ahead of time

That can vary greatly depending on soil type and outside temperatures. But assuming no rainfall, here in the south we'll water them every other day or about an hour with the drip. You could do it more frequently for a shorter amount of time if you want, but that's the schedule that works best for us.

@@gardeningwithhoss thank you very much for your response. I just bought a 15 mill kit from you along with the injector and am looking forward to relieving myself of hours of watering time. I had about 250 plants last year that had landscape material laid out so i had to water and fertilize individually thru the cut outs at the base .pfft...omg. hours........I can't wait to set up the drip system. Thanks again. I'll let you know how i make out. I'm a bit sandy here on long Island in N.Y.

We should have more towards the end of this year or early next year. It was a brand new variety this year and has been very popular.

Them hierloom tomatoes will produce all summer. You pick one 2 will replace it. The more you trim and pick a hierloom the more it will produce.

Excellent tomato year, indeed. Keep up the phenomenal work! *smile of cheer* Travis, with all due respect...who is the girl sitting in Greg's chair on Instagram? Is she a relation to you? Just wondering. Also, who was calling on the phone, non-stop ringing, during the 'Row-by-Row' gardening show about three months ago? Inquiring minds want to know. *wholesome lol* Thanks ahead of time for your kind answers.

There's no such thing as a GMO tomato currently.

You need to put bigger steaks on your Indeturminent hierloom tomatoes. They will grow and fruit until it frost. I'm Michigan they get 10ft tall by September.

Ours are toast by July. They can't take the heat. If we used taller stakes, we'd have to use a ladder to pick them and don't want to have to do that.
